Researchers Say Vitamin E Likely Isn’t The Culprit In Vaping-Related Ailments

Cheap shit from China is doing this probably just like cheap pet food from China kills pets.

Boycott products from China that are put into a vaporizer, or into your mouth.

Traditional antifreeze is ethylene glycol, what's in vaporizer liquid is propylene glycol, they sound a lot alike but in chemistry that means nothing...

still can't be what your lungs were made for

Then why do the lungs prefer Carbon Monoxide (CO) over Oxygen (O2) when CO is very dangerous and can be lethal?

Oh yea? What are they then what are the 5? No benzene coming off my vape. It's only vegetable glycerine. It's chemically impossible. So much propaganda playing out in the media now. Obviously there's poisons coming from CHINA and people are getting sick.
Buy AMERICAN MADE!! It has always been better and even the ingredients differ.

Two things that will help keep you healthy:

Don't stick anything in your nose except your finger.

Don't inhale anything but air.

Researchers Say Vitamin E Likely Isn’t the Culprit in Vaping-Related Ailments

"Researchers at the Mayo Clinic have all but ruled out vitamin E oil and other thickeners as the possible culprit in a wave of vaping-related illnesses and deaths, deepening the mystery of what might be at fault.

Instead, the clinic pathology team reported in the New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday that the lung tissue they examined suggests the damage was more likely caused by inhaling a caustic chemical fume.

. . .

In the new study Wednesday, Dr. Larsen and his colleagues examined lung-biopsy tissue from 17 patients at hospitals around the country, all of whom had been diagnosed with vaping-associated lung injuries. Almost three-quarters of them had vaped using cartridges containing marijuana or cannabis oils, the pathologists said. Two of them died.

. . .

But the Mayo Clinic’s lung-tissue samples, the first to be examined directly under a microscope, showed no sign of oils. “We have not seen any evidence of that in any of our cases,” Dr. Larsen said."

Listen, I know this is a hot topic here on GLP and many are going to get angry over the headline here. But, let's be honest here. I don't think it's wise to jump on the Vitamin E bandwagon right now until there is definitive, absolute proof that this is what the culprit is. As much as everyone wants it to be this, I don't think it's wise for people to push that this is the problem when it is still not known if this is the problem.

And before anyone wants to go calling me a big tobacco shill, I was vaping all the way up until the first death occurred here in Kansas. I personally stopped vaping that very night because I have done the respiratory failure last December and it's not fun and I don't want to go there again. To be quite frank, I was scared out of my wits.

I personally will not start vaping again until it has been figured out for sure what is going on here. I want to personally be sure that it's not a flavoring agent or something like that. I don't want to see anyone else come down with this because they thought they were 100% safe because everyone said it's the Vitamin E thing, when in all honesty, we don't know for sure that it is.

... interesting info!!! ...
.
... did the FIRST vap pens have this problem? ...
.

Number one cause is already known.
Stupidity.

Great post op. This is very good info considering all the disinformation floating around. Not to mention the sheep looking at me like a crack addict because I have a juul

What many of us are vaping now is CO2 oil, skipping the PG and VG, vaping nothing but pure oil and terpenes.

3rd party lab tested, you are simply heating up pure extract, no oils added.
