Filter e-cig

[Alireza355]

Hi every1.

Long long ago, there were no filters on cigarettes. Then someone came up with the idea of a filter cigarette. This might be silly, but does anybody think there might be any need for a filter e-cig???? I mean is there really anything harmful in the vape that using a filter might help reduce it????

Hello, There is no need for a filter. vaping contains no tar.

Why restrict whats not bad???

What's to be filtered? All of the ingredients are what I want, and if I don't want one, I can get it in lower amounts on my own without a filter.

No need to use a filter. Most of the ingredents are of a medical grade. (If they come from a reliable vendor).

If the ingredients are not of 'generally safe' or medical grade, a filter won't help. If they are, a filter won't help.

Also, filters are specific to whatever it is one is separating out from the main - if you are making coffee, you run the hot water into a basket of grounds, separated from the pot by a filter; this works because the grounds are coarser than the filter, and the water-turned-coffee is not. I think cigarette filters work that way, as cigarette tars are heavier than the rest of the smoke.

Some filters work by attracting and binding with the thing to be filtered, while letting the rest pass through. So you really need to know what it is you want to filter. And if you know what it is, why on earth is it in the juice in the first place?

This is one of those, "Man I wish I'd said that!"

I would have said "Man, I wish I'd said that", but pericat didn't write it yet...

The only thing that i have read that "may" be of "some" concern is the silica wick and the "possibility" of tiny shards entering the mouth/throat/lungs via the vape. I know some folks in that forum considered some type of filter material similar to what is used in an aquarium filer and such. I found the better option was to switch to cotton/bamboo wicks.....

Thats why i switched to using mesh in my novas, plus no worry about dry burning and burning the wick

Where can we get some bamboo wicks?

yeah I cant wait to get a couple rebuildable atomizers so that I won't have to worry about the poly-fill. But to the original poster, I dare you to do some research. There is nothing harmful in the vapor from e-cigs. The vapor contains PG, which is short for Propylene Glycol, and VG, which is short for Vegetable Glycerin. These are what gives our e-cig it's vapor. These are generally considered SAFE to consume on a regular basis. They are in cocacola syrup, most sodas, most shampoos, most commercial cake frosting, food coloring, they are used in fog machines to make the fog, they are basically in many of the things we're in contact with on a regular basis already. The FDA lists them as relatively harmless.. They may have a couple side effects, such as dehydration and dry skin, but nothing major.

So, there wouldn't really be much use for a filter. Like its been said above, if you are new to e-cigs and you are burning the fill material in your cartomizer, you may be inhaling unwanted substances like combusted plastic or cotton, but the amount of inhaled combusted platic/cotton is miniscule if you learn from your experiences and maintain the proper amount of juice in your cartomizer.

There could be a gas created from the heat of the coil that is bad that we dont know about, couldnt there? Or a filter to stop lead leaching, from the mystry metal, or something to prevent pba's from the plastic?

Over 2 years of vaping, and I feel great ! If I had switched to filterless analogs at the time I had to quit smoking due to chronic coughing and gagging up black tar. I wouldn't be posting right now. Vaping is PRICELESS!!!

I got mine at Hobby Lobby - in the arts n crafts section - Aunt Lydia's 100% bamboo thread - enough to last a life time - i boiled it for 45 mins bf using....

My prediction:

Someone will come out with an E-Cigarette filter and claim some advantage. Then we'll be reading all the great reviews here about how they make the taste better, smoother,cooler, or what have you, since it's all subjective.

And thousands of people will buy them.

 

[Plumes.91]

smoother? who wants smoother vape? most of us are looking for warmer and harsher vape lol. and as far as gas from the heat of the coil... no.. theres no gas from the heat of the coil. the people against e-cigs would have published a study proclaiming it by now. theyve done tests and they cannot truthfully claim that anything truly dangerous comes from vaping so far.
