      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.
