    I’ll always be thankful that vaping got me off tobacco, and eventually nicotine too. But there’s an abyssal gulf between the self assembled, diy vape and self mixed liquid that vaping started at, and the white ox grade addiction pods that vaping has become.

    There’s absolutely no reason to have the default strength be 50mg/mL, unless optimising for addiction without quite hitting a poisonous dose.

      Which fricking vape pod has 50mg/mL? That’s even worse than the strongest cigarettes. I was on 3-5mg/mL and eventually weaned off completely. Good god, 50mg would be awful!

        The article is about nicotine vapes, not weed.

        As long as you are low temp vaping weed, dry herb vapes don’t emit any meaningful amount of carcinogens till you start getting above 180C. Inhaling anything besides air isn’t great but as far I’m aware (I’m not super educated on the matter) low temp dry herb weed vapes are less harmful than the nasty disposal nic vapes everyone’s addicted too.

          yeah and no cotton wick or coils to burn out when you run out of juice / clog / whatever, which I believe is part of the reason nicotine vapes can release heavy metals / carcinogens.

        I assume cannabis is the dry herb in the dry herb vape and not tobacco. In which case, consumers don’t typically hit that vape compulsively every 5 minutes and there’s a vast difference in volume of inhaled vapor.
