Get ready for the vaper burned a hole in my lungs story.
I wont even bother posting a broken link as its not necessary
to read the story to conclude how or why its bogus.

From article I found:

It turns out the £100 ($154.52) device, which is meant to turn the fluid into a vapor, shot hot nicotine down Courtney's throat.

Fortunately, Courtney recovered and has since returned to daily life. But now we're left with the important question, how safe is vaping anyways?

The "shot hot nicotine down" the throat is funny wording. I would think the nicotine going down most throats of smokers/vapers is hot, but also thinking it be the liquid (other ingredients) that went down hot.

Good to know recovery is possible and can return to daily life after you burn holes in your lungs.

I'm still surprised the formaldehyde issue (or scare) gets little traction while the DAP issue (scare) gets significant traction. Both based on factory workers in non related vape industry and both meant to present data to inform (or scare) vapers. One has clearly worked in scaring vapers, the other not so much.

If you track down the story you will notice the pictures supposedly in the hospital
show no burns on his lips. None were reported on his tongue nor throat. The nurse
blew some air through his device and it spit out juice. That's how they knew it was
from vaping. Forgot to mention the juice is referred to as liquid nicotine through the
whole story.

Wonder if all these recent fake stories - the popcorn lung that wasn't popcorn lung and this one and likely more is a build up to the final rule in order to justify it to the stupid people who might happen to read them. It's what our media has become - a PR arm of the gov't.

 

[Moonbogg]

Fried lung? I can't believe I didn't worry about this sooner. Fried lungs are an avoidable risk and the industry should move away from anything over (hang on lemme check my mod's power, ah yes there it is) 20 watts.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out some of these things are stunts. I'm convinced hoaxes are used on a much larger scale to mold the public perceptions. Why not ecigs

 

[AndriaD]

Well heck... I'm a mouth-to-lung vaper, so I'm unlikely to ever shoot "hot nicotine" down my throat, but dang, I've sure had lots of it popping on my lips and tongue. Guess I should have alerted the media instead of buying a knucklehead driptip.

OGM!!! Not another Absolute BS Story, Published by the 'Media', and Sworn To By 'Medical Professionals'. Makes me get a really warm feeling about Both!

And Folks wonder why anyone would support Trump or Carson (political outsiders) over the Typical Dog and Pony Show put on by our Political Parties.

So, dude got hot liquid down his throat into his lungs, went home and went to bed, with fluid in his lungs? Then he lay there all night as it was burning a hole in his lung? And the nurse sucked/forced juice out of his device with an oxygen tube and decided that meant it was spitting large amounts of fluid out. Amounts large enough to burn holes in lungs. If this wasn't so stupid I'd be mad.

 

[philoshop]

This is certainly one of the more creative attacks on vaping.

I thought the same - the guy from CHEST Dr. Graham Atkins may have had the 60 year old come into the hospital - had lung problems (he was a lifetime cigar smoker)... and thought 'how can we tie this into e-cigarettes. Perhaps he asked a dozen earlier patients and none that vaped and found a guy who did and voilà! Here's one we can 'use'!! Then had Kristi from EurekaAlert! write up a fake headline to gain attention (later retracted but only after Dr. F contacted them with how ridiculous the story was as well as the headline.) and 'Mission Accomplished!'

Not that different from Mannmade (from hockey stick hoaxer Michael Mann ) global warming. Or the 97% 'consensus' (Cook) that was actually " 0.3 percent of all 11,944 abstracts or 1.0 percent of the 4,014 expressing an opinion, and not 97.1 percent." The 75% consensus (Oreskes from Inconvenient Truth), actually 7% endorsed it explicitly.

And they all get Gov't grants for 'studies' that conform to their intended regulations. And when actual scientists like Burstyn, Hayek, Polosa, Le Houezec, Kozlowski, Nutt (the good one), Dr. F, et al. and others show how the junk studies were fudged - they're attacked and get little time (if any) at the FDA, ACA, ALA, et al. seminars to show their results.

Lol.. Now we know that popcorn lung is reversible and the holes in the lung heal themselves. If that were the case, maybe eliquid was responsible for these 'recoveries'!

I know the STM can spit alot, but burning a hole thru a lung
Sounds like a BS lawsuit in the making..........

 

[EBates]

Sounds more like a BS story that should be laughed out of court. But understanding the way the 'Justice' systems 'Work' anymore this kind of cr** might just win.

Well, oxygen tubes don't "suck," they just emit. An oxygen tank can have over 2,000 psi, so without a regulator to lower the pressure, it's easy to see how that could basically blow a clearo apart, and certainly force some juice out. But it wouldn't come out of the drip tip; it would come out of the air holes. So the nurse's experiment proved nothing. In fact, the entire story lacks credibility. But it's a British tabloid, so what would you expect?

 

[pennysmalls]

I wasn't sure if oxygen lines can both emit and suction, but either way I can see it being a way to force the liquid out of the device. I wasn't to impressed with that nurses procedure to prove the cause of the injury either.

Oh well, that explains it. For the Americans here, the Sun is like what you guys call a supermarket tabloid. Soft porn, show biz gossip, raunchy stories about the Royal Family, and woman savaged by her fox fur coat. Another of Rupert Murdoch's gifts to the human race.

Funny how I just finished re-reading The Truth by Terry Pratchett.

Me thinks The Sun has Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler in their basement.
