You probably have better odds of being attacked by a polar bear and grizzly bear in the same day than you do of developing popcorn lung TBH.
I keep pre-written replies for some topics in my "Documents" folder just for debunking recurring misinformation.

That old dog is making its way around FB again, I’ve had people in my feed share it too, so I’ve stepped in and said my piece on it. The part they always fail to mention is that the chemical in question, diacetyl, is also present in cigarettes at levels supposedly 750x higher. We aren’t seeing smokers dropping like flies from popcorn lung, so the chance of it happening to vapers is even lower. If it concerns you avoid liquids that have that ingredient, which isn’t a choice you can make while smoking. For me, I love my custards so I choose to knowingly use flavorings that contain diacetyl. Not even worried.

Besides, if you were smoking for 30 years and then switched to vaping, do you really think your popcorn lung is from your 5 ml of custard juice vaped for the last 2 years?

This is me right here. 3pad ex-smoker, vaper since vaping GVC (Grant's Vanilla Custard) - gee, guess what's in it? Just saw all this today too~~ Ask me if it changes anything for me??? C'mon, go ahead an ask me...
