    Just started vaping, and coughing a lot, is this normal?

    Also consider Vaping straight VG(Diluted by atleast 5% with water) and PG to rule out sensitivity.

    As per the current medical knowledge it is not Healthy to inhale anything other than Air :laugh:. There are some old studies with regards to Inhaling PG at low concentrations and the results indicate that PG is Nontoxic.One study clears PG usage at low concentrations while another one...

    Marlboro has ETHYL MALTOL at 0.0001 %.If you are pad smoker you will be inhaling a maximum of 0.02 mg of EM per day. Comparative value for eliquid is 5 mg for 1 ml consumption/day. (if EM concentration is 0.5%)

    List of additives to tobacco?

    This is a myth started by somebody and perpetuated by minor antismoking groups and taken over by ecig vendors.You can find thousands of posts in various ecig forums to that effect. Cigarettes actually have minute amounts of Other ingredients apart from humectants(Like PG and VG) which are...

    Propylene Glycol - I'm worried! (link)

    The inhale from a VP is around 1000 ppm PG/VG : 1000 ppm i.e. 0.1% should be extremely safe.Wonder if there is any basis for this figure. Based on a rough estimation that 1 ml liquid gets consumed in around 200 puffs of 35 ml volume i reckon there is no way PG/VG concentration can be less...

    Actually there is Nothing ground breaking in the report.That people POp in pills without proper evaluation is NOT that is something new. Oh yes, supplements are a need and can do wonders to some people health.It is the indiscriminate use that is the problem.

    American Lung Association lies about risks/benefits of different tobacco products (including e-cigs)

    More than 10% .The Mods and Manual devices probably feed PG at around 30% in Inhaled air. That is not the same as content in inhaled air. Most of the Nasal spray fluid stays put in the Nose since there is no appreciable evaporation involved. The major issue here is Effect of PG (and VG and...

    Cholesterol Management and the e-Cig

    PG is NOT Oil.Glycerin is part of Oils . substantial quantity gets exhaled and what is absorbed gets metabolized into Non cholestorol causing products. Since we are talking about small quantities the calorie load is Insignificant, if not Irrelevant, to cause any cholesterol buildup. I read a...

    American Lung Association lies about risks/benefits of different tobacco products (including e-cigs)

    There is NO medical application that i know of which allows inhalation of Higher concentration of PG.There is this nebulizer treatment which is meant for treating emergency asthmatic patients which contains about 20% Pg and was not meant for regular use. I think there are many posts here that...

    American Lung Association lies about risks/benefits of different tobacco products (including e-cigs)

    Thanks for that confirmation. When i read the EPA permission for the Pg air sanitizers i wondered how the Max allowable PG concentrations,which btw is 0.04%, are adhered to . Went through Ozium MSDS and saw the PG concentration is less than 10% in the product (with butane aerosol) and got the idea.

    American Lung Association lies about risks/benefits of different tobacco products (including e-cigs)

    I am hard pressed to find this data regarding use in hospitals. EPA gave permission based on mousie study at less than 0.5% concentration in 1947,1978,1989 and 1995 .High concentrations(More than 10%) studies were not done.There is this one study which identified lung inflammation at high...

    American Lung Association lies about risks/benefits of different tobacco products (including e-cigs)

    Long term safety is not known at this point of time; and that is what people should be aware of .Switch to vaping and live happily ever after is not the sensible thing to advocate. As far as banning goes i understand that problem doesn't exist after the court ruled against it. I personally...

    American Lung Association lies about risks/benefits of different tobacco products (including e-cigs)

    I can see the worry being legitimate given the suppliers of prefilled cartos never mention even todate about PEG . I dont know much about FDA but i can understand a GOVT organisation screwing up repeatedly. That is a load of BS.Check the thread i started(Some samaritans called me names...
