:facepalm: Just figured i would share this. Some local new channel did a segment on vaping with a bias lab report. They tested chinese liquids and cartomizers. I would like to see what they find in my homemade juices with a dripper and cotton. My bet is absolutely nothing.

You can click the first picture on the page for the video.

Sorry mate but I don't see any clickable items within your post.

If the FDA tested the juice I make know what they'ed find?

It is the main box above the text that has the news channel logo on it. Says they found heavy metal nanoparticles. My finger points to the chinese liquids and cartos

Got it. For some reason the link wasn't there the first time I read your post. Yeah, pretty much pisses me off. Thanks for the read man.

Welcome to all the new visitors to the Media and General News section. This area and the Legislation News forum are very important for the future of vaping.

Stop by on a regular basis. It's really more important than the last technical development of the APV itself.

This study was either done years ago or Prue dug out some old equipment to test. Smoking Everywhere has been out of business quite some time. Between her and Slantz, I mean Glantz, the create science by agenda.

Just watched it. Not enough products tested for me, personally. I wonder what the results would have been comparing the two e-cigs used here with actual cigarette smoke. That would have been an interesting one.

I feel fairly confident even if vaping is not completely safe, then it's far safer than the alternative. I can breathe again for a start. I took a deep breath the other day (and I mean -deep) with no pain, no aches in my ribcage, and got a headrush from the oxygen for the first time since I started smoking. Ok, so it might not be 100% safe, nothing is. My body "likes" me vaping, who am I to deny it's wishes ;)

Lots of these distorted reports flying around. I sense desperation and it's sad. Why not just embrace vaping and hope it solves the issues with smoking related death. Money, I think, really is more valuable than human life, which is rather depressing.

Money is the exact reason why this report got put out and they didnt do a comparison study with cigarettes. I wouldnt vape the chinese liquid anyway but my bet is it is still 1000 times better than analog cigs.

No matter how many of these reports come out it still wont scare people away because they see vaping changing lives first hand with their friends, co-workers, and loved ones. Word of mouth will always beat out big media on this subject i think.

I still hate to see this kind of report and im sure it isnt the last but it shows that big tobacco doesnt have much ammunition against the vape community.
