HI, I usually order my e-liquids online from another country. I was wondering if the USPS x-rays all of my juices when they come into the states? If so is it unhealthy to constantly vape juices that have been x-rayed? Wouldn't this be like getting a constant does of radiation? Or am I worried for nothing?

I think you are worried for nothing. I can't tell you how many x-rays I have had on my body. I am not radioactive. My grandmother had actual radiation treatment for cancer. She never became radioactive.
If USPS x-rays packages, then they xray lots of different packages. I ship cookies to friends every now and then. No one who has eaten my cookies has had any negative reaction, nor do I suspect that my cookies were radioactive.
Try not to worry. and welcome to ECF!
Keep Calm and
on!

I think you'll be alright or the people at TSA would start growing extra arms or legs.
Well, to be factual, humans produce and emit a very small dose of radiation. Even bananas are radioactive! The level of radiation however is very very minuscule and does not pass the safety hazard line. Do Not Worry! Oh if u want to watch a video about that, you should watch the video on veritasium! Keep calm and vape on
Yep.
X-rays affect living cells, but not objects or eliquid. From the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission's webiste:
Despite their ability to penetrate other materials, in general, neither gamma rays nor x-rays have the ability to make anything radioactive.
Hi, Acies, and Welcome to ECF.
I sincerely hope you asked this as a serious question. The answer is "no, it is not unsafe to vape liquids that have been x-rayed".
Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the fact that a large percentage of the produce available in the US undergoes exactly the same process?
Food Irradiation: What You Need to Know
Edit: and by the way, irradiation of food is done at MUCH higher levels than the x-rays used to scan items, because it's designed to be intense enough to kill parasites, whereas for scanning, you use much lower levels.

just curious, why buy outside from the usa? there's tons of great ejuice companies in the usa such halo, ecig outpost, ecblends, wild vapes, mt baker vapor, and the list goes on and on
If you are really worried after reading the responses here on this thread. . . send the juices to me first and I will vape half the bottle and if I have no symptoms within 30 days, I will send you completely safe juice to vape. No need to thank me, it is just the kind of woman I am.

hehehe You're just a doll! I'll help ya Rattytat......that way we can get his juices back to him/her twice as quick!!
Thanks for all the replies. I was unaware that much of our food is xrayed. I was a little worried because xray technicians have to shield themselves behind lead as to not be exposed to a constant does of radiation but if even gamma rays are unable to make objects radioactive then I am sure I have nothing to worry about. I am glad I do not have to worry about getting cancer from x rayed eliquids. Thanks again
This is just because of the sheer amount of x-rays they perform, which would create a hazard for them just because of how much time they spend around the equipment while it's in operation. While the machine is off, nothing is being emitted so there's no hazard, only when the device is in use is any radiation being emitted.
