    You can speak to me directly. IPF should be easy to diagnose if it's even moderate. It is pretty clear even on simple x rays. Flavoring related lung disease would not be visible on an X-ray.... Or even a CT.... Maybe a bronchoscopy there would be hints towards a lung pathology.... It would...

    At first, I got really excited that you took your time to write out such a long reply, including links to back up your claims, and then I realized it was copy and pasted. I was disappointed. We've all read this. My argument is aerosols versus combustion creates a huge temperature difference...

    Ah yes, because it's impossible to hold an nremt-p along side any other licensure. My "team of physicians" is based out of a level 1 trauma center in a large metropolitan area.

    Sub ohm vaping.. safe or nah

    If you cross the street without looking, maybe you'll get hit by a car. Maybe is enough for me to at least look both ways. Use a bit of logic please, don't assume that there are not negative effects already occurring due to flavoring compounds.

    Combustion versus aerosol. Understand the chemistry.

    Stopped Vaping over a year ago. Should research what happens to diacetyl at high temps though. Quite interesting. That is why the comparison can not be made.

    I respect you very much for this. If you hear of anyone with persistent respiratory symptoms in the Vaping community, please send them my way. I want to compare symptoms and test results. I guess I'll do the legwork to make Vaping safer if everyone else wants to be in la la land. Sad part is...

    Whatever you'd like to say is fine. I'm not going to argue credentials. i certainly have a higher licensure than EMT-B. I certainly don't only work in an ambulance. And I certainly never stopped going to school.

    The incision is a bit bigger but..... Yea.... I've seen my fair share of test tubes and in my current condition, I'm fine, really. I promise you, I'm good. But if you've performed more than one chest tube, you do begin to forget how much pain is actually involved. You start to remove yourself...

    Not able to get a large enough sample size in the above procedures to diagnose flavoring related lung illnesses. Actually not even on the list of recommended diagnostic procedures from CDC or ATS. Plus, my condition hardly warrants even a bronchoscopy at this point.

    I never said this. I did say, however, that the patterns are beginning to show a likely extrinsic factor, and it is beginning to look a lot like a flavoring related injury. No one is 100% on anything yet. But if people are injured due to an untested or unlabeled product, civil action will...

    Sub ohm vaping.. safe or nah

    Varied depending on the liquid. The issue has stuck around since I quit one year ago. I stick around ecf to watch for people with similar symptoms and discuss test results. I do have faith in Vaping in terms of a life saving change for smokers, but it's so new there are definitely some kinks to...

    Vaping is still not well researched. Most people in the medical field know very little. And not many pulmonologists are actually familiar with flavoring related lung disease, surprisingly enough.

    Your assumptions are adorable. If there was ANY injury due to something not being labeled, especially if the manufacturers knew about the possibility of flavorings having these chemicals for many years, which most did, then there are more injured than just me. In fact, I'm in contact with a few...

    I'm not saying I don't hold myself accountable. But being that I didn't frequent forums, I honestly had no idea.

    Plus, I'm not saying it's necessarily BO. BO has to be pretty advanced to call it BO.

    It is extremely difficult to diagnose. As are many lung illnesses, until they are very advanced. It is not uncommon for it to take many years to diagnose certain conditions. People usually get stuck in the "adult onset asthma" diagnosis. The only true way to diagnose bo is open lung biopsy. Not...

    To have copd (or any lung pathology) after 7 pack years smoking history, at 26 years old, is pretty much of unheard of. You don't know much about this subject, do you?

    I don't want anything coming back to my school or institutions working with me. I would rather not disclose my qualifications. But, again, it's people like you that are the problem. Assuming that Vaping is perfectly healthy and knocking those with documented complains will be detrimental to...
