vaping is a relatively new idea, having only been around for a few years. It is extremely important to realize that some juices are made with little to no regulation and may be particularly harmful.
Ideally, make sure you buy juices from suppliers that use FDA approved FOOD-GRADE flavorings. These flavorings are known to be safe to ingest. Although little research (if any) has been done about the inhalation effects of these products, it is fairly reasonable to assume that they are safer to inhale than chemicals that have been shown to be unsafe for human consumption.
I know of a few companies that use a specific source of cheap flavorings which consist of fragrance chemicals. I can't mention these company names as it is generally unacceptable to do so on these forums. There are also companies which use diacetyl in their formulas. As I and many others have mentioned in other posts on these forums, diacetyl is a butter-flavored ingredient that is known to cause serious irreversible respiratory issues in people who inhale it in large amounts. Many of the more responsible e-juice vendors will advertise that their liquids are diacetyl free.
All in all, I care about the health of the entire vaping community. If e-cig users begin developing health issues by inhaling particularly unsafe vapor, it only makes it easier for the FDA to ban them, and rightfully so. By vaping responsibly and doing our research first, we can avoid causing easily preventable harm to ourselves and in turn, help our cause.
