Journey Of A Tainted Vape Cartridge: From China’s Labs To Your Lungs

Journey of a Tainted Vape Cartridge: From China's Labs to Your Lungs

I thought this was an eye-opening read, especially the part dealing with the Bao'An District of Shenzhen, China and a region near LA's Skid Row known as the Toy District. Also a nice breakdown on the THC distillates like Honey Cut, etc.

As you know, we legal nicotine vapers are really paying the price for the sins of others and the whole "kids and flavors" thing is just icing on a camel dung cake.

I just wanted to here peoples amazing vape journey. Like how and why you started vaping and what you are vaping on now, how long you have been off the death sticks. And what are you vaping on now.

Little about my vape journey I've been vaping for about 7 months. I started on a itaste 20w with a protank 3, I told my self I was only going to use it till I got off cigs and I was never going to use rda's well now I am using a sigelei 150w with a troll rda haha, and just pre order my first temp control mod evic vt. I've loved every minute of it it's one of the best things that I've got into. Now let's here your story!  

Hi,

I bought a new vape cartridge but it won’t work with the battery I have. The battery is charged and just flashes blue when it’s screwed in and pressed.

Do I need to buy a new battery?
Any info would be awesome. You can see the battery and cartridge in the photos.

if true then it’s a good thing for those who have been hoarding errr I mean stashing vape gear.

unfortunately it’s a terrible thing for those wanting to quit smoking.  

Hey E-Cigarrete community, I recently started vaping THC with a friend about 6 months ago, never had a problem until we got a new cartridge about 4 days ago, i vaped with him and it was fine however i brought a pen home with me with my new cartridge which i verified online to make sure it was legit, but i believe i might have vaped wrong as i hit it 3 times which i've never done before, i spent the entire day feeling good, this was on monday but on tuesday i woke up with a slight discomfort in my chest and pretty bad acid reflux, i wasn't in pain but definitely in discomfort, the discomfort just went away today my lungs are fine and i didn't experience any difficulties breathing, i read online that it's possible i got a heartburn from it, any recommendations, opinions on this? i have to mention the THC concentration on the previous cartridge was of 63% this one is 87% i'm not sure if this would be the cause of it, but any advice would be great as i'm a bit worried because of what i experienced.  

I accidentally washed my vape cartridge. It was up to 2 ml though I think it was less then half full. My dad is worried it will ruin the washing machine. Could it?  

Takes a different angle... it’s the metals which have caused irreparable damage on a woman’s lungs...

in California though

The article goes on to say;

“Professor John Britton, director of the UK Centre for Tobacco & Alcohol Studies and consultant in respiratory medicine at the University of Nottingham, suggested that the conclusions were not all they seemed.

He said there was no evidence of any cobalt particles in the lung samples and that claims made about vaping were wrong.
He added: “There is nothing in this new paper that should change advice to smokers. If you smoke, switch. If you don’t smoke, don’t vape. And just as you wouldn’t buy unlicensed alcoholic drinks, don’t vape cannabis or other bootleg products.”  

JUUL is being sued by the fired senior vice president for global finances for not recalling tainted JUUL cartridges according to the lawsuit filed. At least that is the claim of the lawsuit. Not sure of all the facts or details at this point, but here is the article with the actual court filing included. There is no mention of what the contamination was in the filing.

Lawsuit: Juul sold tainted e-liquids to users “drunk and vaping like mo-fo’s”  

Hey everyone! So it’s clear that things are changing for all of you who live in the USA. I truly feel for all of you, and I still can’t believe this is happening. But, what is the impact that this is going to have in all of the other countries that basically depend on the US market?

I live in Perú and in most shops, if not in all of them, most of the juice that is sold is directly imported from the USA. Does this mean that we won’t be able to purchase these items anymore either? And what about new devices? I’m aware that most of them are made in China but under American brands.

I understand that the USA has probably been one of the biggest markets in regards to vaping. How is this whole thing going to impact the rest of the world? Our vape community isn’t that big, it just started growing last year. Stores don’t really make their own e-juices, it’s hard to get good quality ingredients.

I’d really appreciate your thoughts <3  

I don’t know if virus situation has shipping crates stuck in isolation but my packages have been stuck in China for 3 weeks.
Usually packages have left Chinese customs by now.
Anyone else waiting on packages from China?
