Just saw an episode of Live PD where the cops had a guy in cuffs questioning him about his vape mod. All he could tell them was about cloud competitions and vape tricks and not a word about how vaping helps folks quit smoking tobacco. Go figure...lol

...along with paraphernalia and no insurance.
And what was that chasing the white dragon bit ?
Good grief.

Well if they questioned an informed, intelligent person about their vape and the person then schooled the police on safety and how it was helping to quit smoking, that footage would end up on the cutting room floor. Idiots and imbeciles are what gets them their ratings.

Live PD is one of those shows I don’t watch. I do hear about it here occasionally though and everything I’ve seen so far implies I’m not missing much.


DH likes to channel hop during commercials and he caught it then.

Vaping may have lost much of its appeal as a quit smoking route in the media. Cloud competitions and "look at me" aspects of vaping may have overshadowed its intended purpose.

I still get people telling me it has antifreeze in it. I still go through the talk about how PG replaced the Ethylene Glycol in antifreeze because it killed animals who liked the sweet taste of EG. I don't quote the list anymore, but I encourage them to Google Propylene Glycol uses. It's impossible to live and not ingest it somehow, but it's generally recognized as safe for consumption.

They are shocked when I tell them it's used for foam reduction in that Coke they are drinking and it's in most makeup and other beauty products as well as pies and cakes.

I have to go through Boarder patrol every time I move from location to location.

I sometimes worry they will accuse me of smuggling budget vapes from Mexico. It hasn't happened yet. I also always wonder if one of the drug sniffing dogs is going to mistake my vape flavor for like, drugs stuffed into a hidden human being.

Probably, I worry too much.

Also, I am going to kind of guess that, "Oooh, I pursued you for 100 miles in a high speed chase thinking your clouds were something other than harm reduction!" may not make for the "best" TV but perhaps it Is just I who thinks that.

Poly Glycol is used in all kinds of stuff. Just about anything with perfumes like soaps, dish soap, shampoo, deodarant, etc.
My wife is skin allergic to it and cannot wear yellow gold jewelry because of it. But she can vape with it in her favorite e-juice.

Cloud making gets a lot of attention these days. But so did really loud Japanese sports cars and hacky-sack for a while. It'll pass.

What may not pass with all those states legalizing everybodys favorite weed is people driving around vaping that stuff. And the police are looking for that these days.
Dang shame too. Because most vaper types are just "smoking" an electric cigarette.

At least your car won't smell like theirs when you roll down the window for the officer.

    In Florida, there currently are only 2 legal methods to use MM. Vaping it is one of them.

    The cops on tv did test his vape juice for THC. And found none.

    I bet they were really, really bummed about that.

    Oh well, at least they didn't plant any.

    This, BTW, is the difference between "real" reality TV and "unpaid actors" reality TV.

    There is no script, and you have to follow the law. Kind of like that dreadful pit bull rescue show by a former convict who like, recruited convicts to come and work and take care of the dogs. I have hazy memories of watching it after the fire when we were living in some house for a while and they had Cox and no channels. It was absolutely dreadful, so you could tell it was real.

    I agree. I have seen multiple tests on vapes on Live PD recently. Fortunately, almost all of them have been negative for THC, but it's still a concern. The officers on last night's episode were much less informed than any I have seen. I was honestly surprised that they needed so much "information" about vaping. That was in Texas, too!

    I have never had an issue vaping in view of cops, then again I think they are looking for specific behaviors. For instance if you see a cop and suddenly try to hide your vape, get fidgety, or quit using it, they might get suspicious of why you are trying to hide what you are doing. I just ignore them or nod if they happen to make eye contact and go about my business and they leave me alone.

    How can you be so sure? Coke is famously secretive about its syrup fomulas. Not accusing, just curious.

    First and foremost PG is an ingredient that is required to be listed on the label and it isn't listed. Second after spending some time searching (although not really a lot) I cannot find any source other than the post in this thread that makes that claim.
