I never seen this mentioned on the health thread before, But a doctor told me that the dangers might not be really from the liquid but the battery itself. I have heard a few people talk about their concerns about inhaling thought a battery piece. Something about the electrons or radiation from the battery you are inhaling when you puff on an E-cig. And they say its not healthy. Does anyone think there is something to this, or just paranoia. I always kind of didnt like the fact that i am sucking through a battery. Anyone have any thoughts on this topic?

Your mom said not to say...
For pity's sake, don't even start going down that road. There is not enough electromagnetic radiation being emitted from a battery to harm you over any amount of time, I would imagine if you were using a battery the size of a house you might have some concerns, but not at this level, that's really reaching for straws to me.

yeah honestly, i am not writing this as like my opinion. Its just something I have heard a few times in regards to e-cigarettes, and now a doctor said something about the battery. Thats why I posted it here. When my friend told me about his concerns i just ignored it. Im not sure what it is exactly about the battery, but they were warning me that inhaling whatever the battery produces can be harmful.

"Mobile phones could have health consequences far greater than asbestos and smoking," he said.


Researchers concluded that those who had held a mobile handset against one side of their head for several hours a day were 50 percent more likely to have a tumor in the salivary gland.
