heating coil, chemical reservoir, battery? It's not like it's rocket science.
The biggest problem with these things is they use lithium batteries. That is not a single use item.
So, unfortunately, both of my kids who are in their early 20s are heavily into vaping and they claim that they are buying these gray market nicotine vapes.
I know what nicotine is and whatever is in these things is not nicotine.
This is completely unregulated and there's a chemical in there that they are claiming is nicotine that is not, and it spins your head so hard it nearly puts you on your arse.
This is the real problem. What is inside these things, from a chemical perspective, and what are the kids breathing into their lungs?
This is a discussion on the physical components and environmental impact of these units, not the health issues they cause.
I get you're upset, but i don't need to be unloaded on over it.
The article is about both. It's predominantly about the environmental impact but there is also mention of the unknown health effects of the e-liquid, with a link to another article that goes into a lot more detail on that aspect. It seems fair to discuss both the environmental and health impacts to me.
Then reply to the post, not me.
I made a polite request and set a boundary and your response was to tell me why you get to violate it. Think on why you did that.
Err, did you check the username before you rage replied? I created the post. I don't give a fuck about your "boundaries" lol
