Ok this rant is not directed at anyone in particular AND everyone in general
I don't quite get it sometimes

we all smoked (or smoke) cigarettes at $4-$5+ a pack that lasted a day (or less) yet don't want to spend $15 on 30mls of juice that lasts anywhere from 6-10 days.

now I DO get trying to save money on DIY (yeah good luck with that I honestly have EVERY tfa flavor and a few dozen from fa and flavorwest along with roughly 1500 mls of nicotine) and with DIY you control flavors so can mix to your liking and KNOW what's in your juice. What I DON'T get is people skimping on DIY ingredients. There's a difference between usp and pharma grade pg and VG. I won't use anything less than pharma grade. I know vaping is relatively in its infancy and we don't know what the flavors are doing to our systems - read this study -
Evaluation of the cytotoxic potential of e-cigarette vapor on cultured cardiac cells: a new study We do know pg and VG pose relatively no threat (asthma inhalers use pg). But IMO we should use some common sense and stick to the purest ingredients we can find, research what's in it, and avoid oils, capsaicin, cinnamon, alcohols, and other substances and additives that may have adverse reactions. Vaping for most of us is a reduced harm alternative to smoking so let's use common sense and do our best to reduce harm. Be careful, be wary, be safe as possible, and most importantly BE INFORMED what your inhaling. We are addicted to and need the nicotine (and for some WTA) we don't need to get our vitamins, caffiene, or dinner in our vapor. Why add something that's more effective and cost efficient AND can easily be gotten from an alternate and safer delivery method than vapor.
