Guess what someone said to me lmao!!!

[HauntedMyst]

Handling obnoxious people in person really isn't that much different from when you get a telemarketing call. When I hear "Hi, this is Marcia calling you with an opportunity to save thousands by lowering your mortgage interest rates." I say "Hi Marcia! You sound very sexy. I just refinanced but I think you can help me with my tension. Hang on a minute while I get my pants off and you get your underwear off and then you can tell me about your wildest sex fantasy." They always hang up at that point. Except once when my Aunt Sara took a job as a telemarketer and ended up calling me. She screamed and told me she knew who I was and who she was. She said she was gonna tell my Grandma and my parents. I got caned like teenager in Singapore that Christmas. Grandma is a tough but fair woman.

Also, how can I tell if they're is diketones in my juice if it is mad in a local shop

I thought the Diketones were a lesbian a cappella group. Why are they are in our juice?

 

[Vandal]

The best I've heard is the other day a neighbor said to me, " Y'all better watch out for them things. The news is sayin' they are blowing up!" I told her that the news is mostly wrong. That its mostly idiots putting spares batteries, like the kind in flashlights, in their pockets. The other people are doing stuff with their mods, or ecigs, that they shouldn't.

She was very interested and wants me to order her a MVP 20 watt and Aspire ET-S, what my fiance and I have, for her. I'm very excited to help her on her journey! If she fully converts, she will be the first person I know where I live that vapes!

It can pay to be friendly and educational about things. The moral of the story: you never know who might be a potential vape convert.

I am also not dumb enough to believe ALL e juices have far less diketones than real cigarettes , the famous "Five Pawns" e juice company had juices that tested to have diketone levels that exceeded that of real cigarettes.

With thousands of e juice company's out there i know they aren't the only ones . With people consuming MUCH more juice than ever before with sub ohm and high wattage it's a concern .

Just for my knowledge, in what form are diketones and diacetyl added....are they already present in nicotine liquid or are they added independently?

Btw ur right about the consumption of juice rising...i ran a hypothetical on how long 1200ml would last and the answers ranged from 2 years right down to 4 months.

They are present in some of the different flavorings used in making e-liquid.

• Confused about diacetyl? You should be - vaping.com
• Diacetyl now officially banned in eliquids in the UK - vaping.com

Thats interesting....i thought these flavourings were the same ones used in the food industry.

Most of them are. Not sure if any of the tobacco flavorings are used in any food.

The FDA currently classifies diacetyl as “Generally Recognized as Safe” (GRAS) for consumption.

There are no safety standards for flavorings (with or w/o DA/AP) with regards to inhalation.

When I used to have to go out with the smokers they would complain of the smell of my vape! It was unflavored so I knew it couldn't have had much of a smell at all.

 

[choochoogranny]

Cocacola, there's "mob hysteria" that could explain it. It's sometimes used to explain the Salem Witch Trials.

 

[Captain Pegleg]

I have a good acquaintance who tells me about every two weeks about how vaping will cause mold to grow in my lungs or of some new study that shows it's TERRIBLE for you. I used to try to talk him down, then I started sarcastically responding that I was actually growing alien embryos in my lungs thank you very much, then asked him why he was so concerned about me. He's an ex-smoker of course (cold turkey, thank you very much)

My go-to response for strangers is "you do you, I'll do me."

I've also been told by more than one still-smoker that I should JUST QUIT!

 

[Butch]

I just tell them thier fly is open........

 

[Captain Pegleg]

I forgot to add, if someone smokes or seems interested and comment about vaping, I always let them know that I feel way better since I switched to vaping. Deeper breaths, no more sore throats every morning, I can taste and smell better, I have more energy (regardless of the potential long-term dangers of vaping, I am quite certain there is no carbon monoxide in my vape). So there.

We already have many Extremely Lengthy threads on Chemistry and Health opinions.

Interesting Fresh daily experiences draw away from the Stress of FDA DEEMING.

Keep small laminated copies of this in your wallet for a such an occasion.

 

[ScandaLeX]

I've been finding the best response to an unasked for opinion is a blank IDGA stare. After a few min it causes them to stumble with their words ending with having nothing left to say..... at least not to your face.

Much better than getting myself worked up defending my right to vape.

They, (not an expert) are present in certain flavorings but are not found in nicotine per say. Many flavorings contain them (usually the good tasting ones ) and many flavorings are said to be free of them .

BullCityVapor is a popular place where people buy e juice flavorings , they make it easy for people to determine which flavors are known to have diketones in them by placing a big "caution" box around them.

Don't get obsessed with it as it is so premature at this point .

Just something to keep in mind but not interfere with your vaping enjoyment since even vaping juice with diketones is MUCH better than smoking real cigs .

 

[herb]

So your saying vaping can cause copd?

Way way too early to know that and every individual's situation is likely to me very different . If somebody starts vaping who is already suffering with respiratory issues i would probably advise them to vape diketone free juice , which there is plenty out there.

All i'm saying is that the diketones in real cigarettes are believed to be a big contributing factor to respiratory illnesses in many smokers . Of course not solely responsible as real cigarettes have countless chemicals but a contributing factor nonetheless .

 

[beckdg]

I use diketones in my home mixes knowingly.

I've still improved my respiratory situation from being nearly bed ridden to excellent.

Meh...

As for the OP...

I don't communicate with idiots who believe what they're spoon fed by the media except...

If I have no choice because of blood relation.

OR

To inform them I don't communicate with idiots who believe what they're spoon fed by the media and walk away.

Show me 1 case of anything outside of that popcorn factory where anything negative and respiratory was POSSIBLY attributed to diketones or diacetyl.

Just 1

And I'll consider taking this seriously.
