I feel like I'm vaping way more then I was smoking?

I have read many similar articles and papers but I still avoid Diacetyl like the plague! Just me being overly cautious or .... but since I disregarded the Surgeon Generals warnings for so many years now I look at it as doing something smart.

Cool...

I have to be able to tell the Anti vaping People everything I can to make them understand it does not compare to smoking aside from the clouds I emit.

...and even the 'clouds' aren't exactly the same...they just look the same...

Exactly what I meant they may compare by looks but not by what they are made up of. I remember fogging the room out as a smoker and it hung in the air for hours but when I do it by vaping Tropical Juice it disappears in a minute or so. Plus I do not find than brown residue on my monitor any longer and I vape while working on the PC all the time.

Yea, I noticed no more gunk on the inside of my windshield...

Now this is just my opinion but it is supported by some researchers. I personally don't worry too much about Diacetyl, as the Diacetyl content of some ejuice tested is 750 times LOWER than in cigarettes...consider also that the vast majority of tobacco is flavored with practically the same stuff we use in our juices to keep their tobacco products flavors uniform. Now consider how long you smoked and DIDN'T get 'popcorn lung'... it's important to consider the motivation behind any research project (especially if it's got a government grant attached to it). "Further, because smoking has not been shown to be a risk factor for bronchiolitis obliterans, findings are inconsistent with claims that diacetyl and/or 2,3-pentanedione exposure are risk factors for this disease." That's a quote from a paper posted at NIH Diacetyl and 2,3-pentanedione exposures associated with cigarette smoking: implications for risk assessment of food and flavoring workers. - PubMed - NCBI.

Solid and good info there!
