    California vape maker Kushy Punch caught making illegal products
    On that note, here's an article about one California vape company that's licensed making and selling unlicensed THC product and pushing it out the back door.

    Most of the articles I've read were hysteria-driven "OMG! Don't vape! It's dangerous and it'll kill you!!!" types. There were a few that reported "some" of these people vaped THC/CBD oils (added it in to the pod/tank themselves), and bought their liquid on the street. I'm very suspicious that the people who are suffering respiratory distress vaped something more than just normal e-liquid but aren't saying so because they could get into trouble from their parents and/or it's not legal where they live.
    After over 7 years of vaping my doctor says my lungs sound extremely good, I don't run out of breath like I used to, and I think it would've done something negative before now.
    Just my two cents.

    When Michigan gets 2.1 billion dollars a year from the master tobacco settlement, sin taxes, and of course campaign donations while cigarette smoking is at it's lowest ever, the mystery becomes pretty clear.  Add to that that Michigan issued bonds against anticipated master tobacco agreement income, and is, as always hurting for money.  I'm not freaking out but I'm madder than a hornet. I've watched numerous "hearings" and they are paid political propaganda.  Cherry picked panel members as well as politicians putting on a B rate movie.  Hardly a thread of truth in the entire production.  One panelist with a prefix Dr. called the U.K. Royal College of Physicians a couple doctors sitting around making unfounded decisions.  The FDA is bumbling around obviously incapable of drafting even final guidelines.  The CDC is obviously under pressure to support the political stance on vaping.  Our president sites pillow talk as his decision to ban flavors.  Insane!!  Maniacally Insane!!!  Mass media jumps in singing the same song.  No wonder, every other commercial is from big pharma who has a vested interest in seeing vaping disappear. 
     
    Tomorrow I have more nicotine and flavor concentrates coming in.  Soon I will be set for the rest of my lifetime.  In the big picture that does nothing for the countless people who will go back to analogs, the black market that will fill the void, the people who will never have the opportunity to try vaping.  These decisions will kill.  Good for the government as the average smoker dies 10 years sooner than the non smoker and will not be collecting social security or medicare.  Leave it to the government.  This time their taking a health crisis that was created by the black market and driving an industry deeper into that black market.  And I'm sure the black market will do a better job of checking I.D.'s.

    While we're banning things... why are cigarettes and alcohol still legal? Hmmm?

    Why are people still vaping THC from carts?
     
    This is mind boggling to me.  Do they live under a rock?  What don’t I understand about this problem?

    According to Google it says that an unopened bottle of VG that's stored somewhere dark and cool can last up to 5 years. Two years for PG in the same conditions.

    As soon as payday rolls around I'll be stock piling my favorite juice. Lord knows I've got enough hardware to outlast a zombie apocalypse and I can build my own coils if needed. Not having enough drip tips will never be an issue, however.

    There is a good article at Vaping 360 on this titled: 
    Vitamin E Acetate Products Investigated in THC Oil Deaths
    While I am saddened by what I consider an intrusion of drug dealers in to the vaping foray,  it is important to put out the word that vaping cannabis is a wild frontier territory marred by illicit drug sales and can be very dangerous.  And the young are particularly prone since they cannot acquire products legally.

    congrats you are in the road to a healthier life style.
    first some tips.
    Vaping is different from smoking so stick with it.  dont let the initial difference throw you back in to smoking.
    Make sure you spend the money to get something that performs well.  dont accept a "cheap" shortcut.  pony up for quality gear from a reputable supplier.  there are many out there. 
     
    visiting a vape shop, if you can, can help with selection.  You want something easy to use and maintain that is satisfying.
     
    Now for some questions -
    what did you smoke and how much? be honest with yourself on this.  it's really helpful so as to steer you in the right direction.
    Do you need to have a battery that lasts for hours or do you have regular access to charging handy to you all day?
    Would you prefer something that tastes like tobacco?
    How handy are you?  would you mind something that is a little fuss or di you need something that is load and vape with no fiddling?
    these questions can help us recommend something.

    I find it strange that only the generation that sometimes eat tide pods are the ones that are suffering from lung disease. I have been vaping for a long time, and my doctor said my lungs have improved. I think the question should be what are they vaping?
    The news media never tell the whole story, only the parts that they want to.
