Do any of you vape?

Let’s be clear on the physics of vaping...there is no fire involved, no burning materials...a liquid is boiled by a metal coil(a twisted wire). The wire is heated via connection to a battery. The wire is surrounded by a wicking material(often cotton) that is soaked with e-liquid(a solution usually containing vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, flavoring, and nicotine). When power is engaged, the coil heats up, the surrounding liquid soaked wicking material produces a flavored steam...not smoke.(unless you run it dry)

Interesting! I did not know that!
 
My sister-in-law’s husband was sent home to die a few days ago.

He has inoperable, stage-four lung cancer from smoking his whole life. Radiation isn’t doing any good. So, he’s in hospice now awaiting the end.

He played a little guitar. The last I knew he had a Telecaster. He is a nice enough guy. But, death by cigarette is a hard way to go.

So, my sister-in-law’s husband died yesterday...about six hours after I made the above post.
 
Vaping is the best!:D

I had a cigarette in 1960 when I was 10 year old, made me cough and head spin. Figured out on the spot regardless of peer pressure it wasn't for me.
Tried a green cigarette about 1970, hmmm, that wasn't so bad :-) When my kids arrived I figured green cigarettes wasn't such a good idea any more.
 
Sorry to all who have or have loved ones suffer.
My mom had smoking related COPD and the start of emphysema before the stomach cancer got her first.

I smoked a long time ago, quit for a long time, smoked again for several years, quit for several, started again and switched to vape a bit over 2 or 3? years ago.
I mix some 3mg in with mostly 6mg and have no desire for cigarettes.
I concede the nicotine itself, is not good but vaping is a vast reduction in "not good" over inhaling combustion smoke particulates and all the chemical by products and the other crap they add in.
There is the inhaling of anti-freeze (poly / ethylene glycol) I find troubling.

I want to quit all together but this keeps the peace for now, and yes I feel much better, way less congestion and morning mucous too.
 
Good to know!
I was nervous about that and it was making me toke on the vape more...... paradox.

It’s one of the things, that some mistakenly used to refer to, in order to make vaping seem as bad as it looks.
Vegetable glycerin was introduced as an option, or in addition to PG.
But VG doesn’t wick as well as PG.
 
Just this past week I have seen more news stories about the concerns with teens doing it for the cool factor or whatever.
hope they dont over-regu-ban it or there may be some "HULK SMASH!!!" episodes over my way.
