I vape - I buy only high quality liquids from a reputable manufacturer who extensively test all of their recipes. I find my lung function is 100x better than when I smoked.
I did, however, once buy a THC liquid, from a “reputable” dark web dealer. It was bloody awful - found myself retching and hacking for days after a few small tokes, and it destroyed both the coil and the tank - sticky residue, carbon, bleurgh.
So... given that the other symptoms mentioned are vomiting and diarrhoea, I think this is going to transpire to be dodgy THC liquids, as this also sounds like Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome.
- TomGullen 7y agoMe and my girlfriend exclusively vape vampire vape juices, how do we go about researching if the manufacturer is reputable and test all their recipes?
- ldoughty 7y agoYou read their website and pray they don't lie... The only good way is somehow lucking out and finding an independent researcher that tests them without financial incentive from the company. Otherwise typically the findings will always be on favor because companies request preliminary data and pull funding to continue research if it looks bad so it doesn't get published
- jdietrich 7y agoBuy from a European supplier - testing is mandatory and all e-cigarette products must be registered with the national healthcare regulator prior to sale. It's not an ironclad guarantee of safety, but we have an effective regulatory regime. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/e-cigarettes-regulations-for-consumer-products https://www.gov.uk/guidance/e-cigarettes-regulations-for-con...
- madaxe_again 7y agoThe other thing to do is check out their safety data sheet - means an independent lab has audited them. Vampire Vape, that the GP mentioned, have theirs here: https://www.vampirevape.co.uk/media/safety-data/attraction-0mg-sds.pdf https://www.vampirevape.co.uk/media/safety-data/attraction-0...
- jowsie 7y agoIf it's the Vampire Vapes I'm thinking of, they host all their safety sheets, as part of TPD compliance. https://www.vampirevape.co.uk/safety-data https://www.vampirevape.co.uk/safety-data
- bgeeek 7y agoLet's not confuse reputable with anything healthy, which is the danger of some of your statements, both quoted and unquoted. The largest tobacco manufacturers were reputable, but that didn't stop them from killing people.
- 52-6F-62 7y agoThis is a pertinent point for any idle readers. Ex-smoker. The bad tobacco was so much worse, but it didn’t make the good tobacco healthy. It was just smoother and tasted better. It’s no “healthier”.
- throwavapeded 7y agoInteresting coincidence... Michigan shut down an MMJ testing facility within the last couple of weeks for reporting irregularities. https://www.michigan.gov/lara/0,4601,7-154-11472-505032--,00.html https://www.michigan.gov/lara/0,4601,7-154-11472-505032--,00...
- madaxe_again 7y agoYeah... there is currently a global issue with lab results. A client of mine (large multinational healthcare products manufacturer) recently sent the same part to five different labs owned by the same very large lab test provider, around the globe, and got radically different results. The Chinese ones passed everything, as did the US ones - the EU ones failed the part on RoHS, as did their own tests on it - BPA over the allowed threshold. So, yeah. Everything with a big pinch of salt.
