E Cigs vs THC vaping

[alza1988]

The E cigs are good bought one last week with no nicotine juice .I smoke when drinking alcohol but going to try stop altogether .Almost started smoking in work as well but hopefully just stop nicotine altogether with a vape .

Propylene glycol is garbage.

Vape herb not weird goo.

Lots of concentrate weed products are also rendered from crops that are unsmokeable as flower. Just ridldled with powdery mildew or botrytis.

All these terpene additives are super suspect too. The way they are derived and isolated.

Stay away IMO.

Oh damn I'm shitfaced and this thread is old as fuck.

It seems to me that the reason is not in electronic cigarettes but in diseases that these people haven't treated for a long time. Why do you need to smoke "flowers"? Sometimes I want to break loose, but I understand that I don't want to feel like I used to. Vaping was my only way to divert my attention from thoughts of resuming smoking. Don't start smoking again because one day you will regret it. Your body will suffer because of your carelessness.

Wow this thread is when my third was born so time flies like a btch.

I picked up vaping at the time before going crazy with the flowers during covid and now im back to vaping lol.

I dont smoke herbs anymore unless it's top quality grade A sht.

Cold Fire carts are my choice but let me know if there are better ones.

Anything you inhale into your lungs comes at a risk. The vaping devices were under testing when COVID struck, then got put on the shelf. One of the causes of the deaths were that people were vaping black market THC products that got into their lungs, and once in the lungs, it would become sticky as it cooled in the lung and basically seize up the lung. Bad stuff. I wouldn't trust the average smoke shop unless you know exactly where they get their product from.

anything you put inside your body has the potential to be dangerous for your health... But i have not heard too many bad things about thc vape as compare to e-cig... for thc vape, as long as you are getting it from a reputable company, you should be good! but like everything else, if you over do it, then there's the chances of getting health issues. honestly, my body has always reacted different to thc vape.. it makes me cough more so than if i was smoking flowers and the coughing doesnt sound good so i tend to stay away from thc vaping.. you should try dabbing instead! much more cleaner and safer.

They actually recalled a bunch of THC carts in the PA dispensarys. Penndot released a whole thing about it. Definitely still in the infant stages so better to be safe and stay with specific brands you trust and sellers obviously.

I think most of those deaths a few years ago definitely were from homemade THC vapes because you can buy the packaging on dhgate or other Asian retailers ****** cheap but looks real.

even flower these days off the streets can have fentenoyl in it. Better to just get your medical card because atleast it's coming from lab and not some heroin addicts secret side stash. I've never thought twice about going back to the streets. Flower definitely safer than vaping don't be ridiculous lmao

Ive always smoked home grown weed and just recently I started going to the shops for cartridges.

The shop i go to is reputable, probably top rated shop in OC.

I only vape this brand called Raw Garden which is supposed to be top notch.

Should i worry about reputable dispensaries selling black market cartridges?

Ok so... I don't know much about the situation but scientifically speaking there are some things to consider. The dangers are different regarding weed and tobacco/cigarettes.

Cigarettes used with simply tobacco have some residues. When cig makers add things, ultimately these things "carmalize" into sugars. I use this term because when you burn sugar you will wind up with a black residue and this is tar. While nicotine produces a steady burn depending on the sugar content in the plant, all the additives in a cigarette burn off to release chemicals and also, produce their own tar residues.

Vaping can expose one to less tar in this situation because of the burn mechanics. It is a big issue with cigarettes because of how these tars affect the lung sacs.

Weed? Weed has a lot more tar that comes with a toke... of course you toke weed less than a cig. If one were to vape weed I am assuming it would have to be a by product of the weed. You should find out what the by product is... It is probably a freebase of some sort. Then look for additives, if there are any.

Additives in all products that are consumed via a burn use additives essentially for two reasons:

1. To make the burn as smooth as possible.
2. To add components that distinguish the flavor and reaction one has to the product... You may crave that hint of vanilla in a flavored product, or get jacked up when reacting to ammonia sulfates freebased in a cheaper product.

If you understand on this level you can make an informed decision. Keep in mind that taking moisture into the lungs has some potentially dangerous possibilities: Like drowning for example., or replacing the oxygen by coating the lungs with a vapor. When you smoke a cigsrette the danger is different. Your taking in Carbon Monoxide which replaces the oxygen... But the good thing is (f there is any lol) your body very quickly can take in new oxygen gases from the compound in the atmosphere.

To illustrate this difference: If I catch someone suiciding in a garage, and run them outside, almost immediately the oxygen level is replaced because there is nothing physically coating the lungs... If I pull a drowning victim, I need to get all the water removed from the lungs for them to work. This takes a bit more. A vapor is like a fine level of water coating the lungs which makes it very dangerous if sufficient to cover enough area. Phenoma is where a virus makes the lungs produce fluid... same problem really.
