Default questions about battery safety.

I never seen this mentioned on the health thread before, But a doctor told me that the dangers might not be really from the liquid but the battery itself. I have heard a few people talk about their concerns about inhaling thought a battery piece. Something about the electrons or radiation from the battery you are inhaling when you puff on an E-cig. And they say its not healthy. Does anyone think there is something to this, or just paranoia. I always kind of didnt like the fact that i am sucking through a battery. Anyone have any thoughts on this topic?

Do you use a manual or automatic battery? manual batteries have no air flow. And I think the air from automatic batteries actually comes from the side holes, not through the battery?

I guess there is some suction on the battery which turns the automatic batteries on. and i guess they are saying the sucking on the heating element and battery energy or something is not good for u. I dont know if there is any validity to it.

Sounds like a distortion of electromagnetic radiation. In this day and age, good luck avoiding that.

Maybe some truth there but not enough that I would be concerned.

For pity's sake, don't even start going down that road. There is not enough electromagnetic radiation being emitted from a battery to harm you over any amount of time, I would imagine if you were using a battery the size of a house you might have some concerns, but not at this level, that's really reaching for straws to me.

yeah honestly, i am not writing this as like my opinion. Its just something I have heard a few times in regards to e-cigarettes, and now a doctor said something about the battery. Thats why I posted it here. When my friend told me about his concerns i just ignored it. Im not sure what it is exactly about the battery, but they were warning me that inhaling whatever the battery produces can be harmful.

I don't think this is true. It is just a rumors.

Who really knows what is true. I think people really lose site that no matter which group, pro or con, Neither probably has our best interests in mind. One wants to sell and make a profit, and the other side does not want to lose profit.

In all seriousness, you need to get a doctor that doesn't quack.
