cbc.caThere is something so wrong there and it’s terrifying.
I have mild asthma and vaping has never been an issue for me heavy use and high concentration will trigger symptoms but nothing close to respiratory disease and infections.
Hey. Guys. Any of you out there cutting your juice with water?
That’s about the only way I can conceive you could conceivably get an infection from vaping, I honestly don’t know about distilled water but I do know prolonged inhalation of unpurified water will give you a lung infection.
Vg and pg are both relatively cheap and come separate or in various blends and percentages of each other, if you’ve considered or have been or are now, stop or don’t cut your juice with water period. Again I’m not doctor or scientist but heavy rain can trigger the need for a boil order, water you drink is safe but it is incredibly susceptible to bacterial contamination
So if my assumption is correct like I said, buy a jug of vg, they’re out there for like 13 dollars before shipping and some Walmart’s carry that, buy usp or food grade vg or pg, or buy 0mg juice and a bottle of nicotine both nicotine and vg or pg(vg is the best I haven’t tried pg but your juice can be too thin faster or easier than it can be too thick) both of those will last you a very long time, a gallon of cut 6 months or better, a bottle of nicotine even longer but is more expensive

I'm pretty sure many of these "vape related injuries" are from bootleg thc cartridges. People have no clue what they're inhaling. Your water theory makes a lot of sense, too. Same reason why it's recommended to run distilled water in a room humidifier.

I read that, that’s possible too. I just know even 3mg is pretty strong and if someone has an inclination to dilute their liquid water is a logical assumption, I wouldn’t know if it weren’t for a terrible experience that amounted to some extreme discomfort and some paranoia that inhaling tap water could even do that, there’s just so few avenues where that’s even a logical assumption and this and asthma are two of them and it’s just odd really

Illegal street drug carts. Everyone already knows this.

Says right in the article “Health Canada officials — having checked their databases of consumer product-related incidents and adverse reaction reports — said they did not find evidence of clusters of pulmonary disease cases related to vaping.” Stop with the bullshit titles, you’re not helping anybody
just downvote these and move on

No really though that’s most likely people stretching out their supply with water, I do it, obviously not water but vegetable glycerin, I use otc asthma medicine and it’s a really small amount/ vial and it’s really strong, when I first started using that I had the brilliant idea to stretch it out with water and after a little while(it’s been a little while) I got a green tongue, breath that smelled like the devils asshole that brushing wouldn’t cure, consistently green phlegm and the worst asthma symptoms I’ve had since childhood. Obviously my problem never got to that level but that’s what all that’s lookin like
