afaik the bases of e-juice were studied for ingestion, not inhalation.
edit: i was thinking of diacetyl which is sometimes used as a flavoring additive and caused a bunch of lung injury in the early days of microwave popcorn manufacturing. While looking through these I stumbled upon vitamin e acetate (used as a condensing agent in vape products) and it sounds none to good for you either. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6952050/
Then you know wrong, they were studied thoroughly for inhalation too, and were approved and used in kindergartens to prevent respiratory diseases. They are still used in asthma inhalers, and in stage fog machines in rooms crammed with people.
None of the branches that use these compounds very heavily have had problems, and they are still used.
The fact that you are so heavily upvoted just shows that people here are extremely ignorant about the issue, but still feel their ignorant opinion has value.
albuterol inhalers use saline solution as a carrier.
Each milliliter of albuterol sulfate inhalation solution 0.083% contains 0.83 mg of albuterol (as 1 mg of albuterol sulfate) in an isotonic, sterile, aqueous solution containing sodium chloride; sulfuric acid is used to adjust the pH to between 3 and 5. Albuterol sulfate inhalation solution 0.083% contains no sulfiting agents or preservatives.
albuterol inhalers use saline solution as a carrier.
That sounds weird, that is in principle just salt water, and a vapor that is way harder to control. But just because an alternative exist, doesn’t mean other options are bad.
Nope, PolyEtheleneGlycol (PG) is the carrier in Ventolin inhalers. Glycerine (VG) is something the body knows how to handle because it’s the chemical backbone of triglyceride, the most common form of human fat. VG and PG are the usual bases in ejuice.
Valid point for the majority of flavours though (maybe 1-5% by volume), although mint is likely fine and used in some medical contexts and for some reason tobacco flavour is prescribed in Australia, probably because it’s disgusting.

Seems like they just use pH-adjusted salt water for it? Been looking for more data but I’m having trouble finding anything that isn’t behind stupid paywalls.

Actually the bases are safe. They were tested extensively for inhalation in like the 50s or 60s.

Don’t forget the massive fog machines, that are allowed indoor in crowded rooms, because of how safe they are.
the dose makes the poison as they say.
Absolutely 100%, even water is toxic. If you drink 4 liters of it in a short span of time, you will die.
