    "Nicotine-free e-cigarettes can damage blood vessels" - Univ. of Pennsylvania School of Medicine

    ok, so whats the control here? What happens when doing the same test with a cigarette, taking 16 3 second puffs? Are the results the same or different? This screams like a scare tactic .

    Vaping gave me Eosinophilic Pneumonia, and I DONT use THC of any kind.

    Are you feeling better now? Have you stopped vaping? What was your typical setup? The other dude on the thread you posted on about the CT scans had just signed up Monday and I ways seem skeptical when someone comes in and annouces something like this. Whats your thoughts on your injury? You...

    Vaping gave me Eosinophilic Pneumonia, and I DONT use THC of any kind.

    Perhaps to try and sum this all up here. Vaping COULD lead to lung injury of some sort or could not. What determines this is something that has to many factors to consider: Ratio of suspension fluid, strength of nicotine, SALT vs no SALT, flavor vs no flavor, flavor "X" to flavor "Y", high...

    Vaping gave me Eosinophilic Pneumonia, and I DONT use THC of any kind.

    So I gazed and glazed over some of this, but I think @Opinionated is right in saying that this is nothing new here. It makes mention of some of the other factors like flavorings, and attomizers etc, which is why we truly are guinea pigs with this stuff and its difficult as we cant necessarily...

    High blood pressure

    I just went through this. Was diagnosed with hight BP and high heart rate. This runs in my family, it was a matter of time. I first tried the natural route, but unless you incorporate excercise into this, its hard to lower it with diet alone. My resting heart rate was always high 80s and if...

    Vaping gave me Eosinophilic Pneumonia, and I DONT use THC of any kind.

    Thats interesting how you decide to take a "Break". I enjoyed smoking, but knew it was bad. Vaping took a long time for me to get the "enjoyment" factor out of it, but it became the new normal and I enjoyed vaping. But always at the back of my mind I was always worried about it. Are we doing...

    e-cigs hysteria now hitting Ontario, Canada

    Meh yeah I did...he was a smoker too, so was my older brother and sister. I certainly had it around me and could easily get my hands on cigarettes by sneaking a few here and there. Once I got busted by my dad, he just shook his head in disapointment and said, "Ah man, you have no idea what...

    e-cigs hysteria now hitting Ontario, Canada

    Vaping gave me Eosinophilic Pneumonia, and I DONT use THC of any kind.

    Im going on full day 2 of no vapping (I took my last drag at around 2pm EST on Monday). Its been...rough. crappy sleep last night. At this point I am challenging myself to see how far I can go with this. Ive always said I wanted to stop or at the very least cut down on it. Be an after...

    Vaping gave me Eosinophilic Pneumonia, and I DONT use THC of any kind.

    I dont think the individual should be bashed. We all knew smoking was bad for us, yet we continued to light up. Vaping is no free lunch here either. I dont think this person should be discredited as long as there is no hidden agenda to it, which from what I remember would happen here all these...

    e-cigs hysteria now hitting Ontario, Canada

    Im very picky where I would buy my liquid and always ensured in the past to stock up and when running low to put in an order way before Id run out. I get mine from rainbow vapour, and believe if not mistaken they were one of the first to openly work with health Canada regarding their liquids...

    e-cigs hysteria now hitting Ontario, Canada

    So whats the deal with Salts then? What are the purpose of that? Im so out of it. But this is the thing even with these pods that have the vitamin E in it. Someone thought it was a good idea and then some people died. This crap just needs to get regulated and monitored. I dont know what...

    e-cigs hysteria now hitting Ontario, Canada

    you know I was reading that line over and over to ensure I was seeing it right. Guess Ive been dealing with a whole whack of people constantly on my case regarding vaping who are just utterly regurgitating what they hear (and not fully understanding it)and I maintained that hey, Ive been vaping...

    Vaping gave me Eosinophilic Pneumonia, and I DONT use THC of any kind.

    I agree with that. But I remember when we first made the swtich to vaping. So I joined in 2010 here to ECF. Back then there wasnt a whole lot of options for gear. 510 threads and the other which escapses me know (they had pre filled cartomizers). There was no variable watts or voltage. The...

    Vaping gave me Eosinophilic Pneumonia, and I DONT use THC of any kind.

    Lung Damage, Lowered Capacity

    Well, I know I could only refute that from my own personal experience when I finally switched to vaping for good. I had quit for 4 years (smoking), and like an idiot started again last August. (stressful time, and I handnt found my vaping Nirvana) I started a new job in January. To get to my...

    Heart arrhythmia, afib or anything else

    I have had issues with heart palps. First things, first, see the DR to rule out anything. I wore a monitor for 24 hours once. I had a really bad episode once where my heart was palping like mad for like 12 hours straight. Was the scariest thing I have gone through. Still not sure what...
