Thanks for interesting observation. Something I do not understand and never thought about before.
Boiling point of VG: 554°F (290°C)
But: When glycerol (also called glycerin) is heated to 280 °C, it decomposes into acrolein
Acrolein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is something I do not get: VG is decomposing befor it can be boiled? We need a chemist for explanation.

Good news is in normal vaping conditions we do not heat VG to boiling temperature because juice will boil somewhere in between boiling points VG and PG (or water, it it was thinned with water). Boiling temperature of PG is 370.8°F (188.2°C)
I always read it that the flash point would kick in first which is lower than the boiling point.

Who said anything about it being evil? The association with 420 is geared to appeal to certain types, that's it...

It is also a number that appeals to mathematicians as it comes after 419 and before 421. Maybe you read too much into it. Some NeoNazi's like it because 4/20 was Hitler's birthday. I don't think Richard is a NeoNazi either.

From what I'm reading here, advocacy is not a concern to the u-tuber in this demonstration of a device that could ruin your day.
Like most YouTubers, I think he is just clueless. He knows how to turn it on, put it on a setting and vape it.

He is just reviewing devices and part of that is showing what said device can do that's it, it's not his fault there are .....'s in the world too damn lazy to do a bit of research themselves into things. I watch him because he makes mistakes leaves them in the video and the guy puts a smile on my face he's not another of the vanilla reviewer's of which there are many and he is very active in advocacy often highlighting casaa and vaping militia. All the devices I've got I saw in review video's and then got on the net and did some research and if people don't do that then in this day and age with the info being easily available then that's their problem. A lot of people complain about the length of pbursados reviews and now some expect all reviewer's to lengthen their video's to warn the lazy git brigade about something. Where does it stop once you go down that route we will end up with three hour video's with twenty minutes on the actual device, people need to start being responsible for themselves and put in the work themselves to get the most out of vaping.
