I feel so much better since I started using ecigs. My natural tendancy is to think this must be too good to be true. I've scoured the ECF forum and been googling what might be some of the long term risks 10-20 years down the line.
I'm impressed by the long term safety record of PG. VG is a newer ingredient when it comes to inhalation. I see some vendors and "vaping experts" promoting VG as a safer superior ingredient. There is no evidence that VG is safer or more "natural". It has a higher LD50 though that was determined for ingestion, not inhalation.
Nicotine is probably safer to inhale than many of the "natural" flavorings in the eliquids. Some flavorings contain small amounts of alcohol and "organic" solvents which can leach away at the rubber/plastic dropper bulbs. We eat plenty of plastic in our food and inhale plastic fumes these days, so mabe we've built up a tolerance and have adapted to it. My cartomizer is packed with poly fill, if it dries out and starts burning, that can't be good....enter tanks, keep that carto wet.
A malfunctioning atomizer can overheat VG and produce acrolein, another potential risk.
Eat, vape, and be merry, for tomorrow we die
