Just one relevant bit of information: in “classic” vaping (the one where the goal is to inhale nicotine through the use of liquid “e-juice”) there are no oils involved whatsoever, in fact vapers who make DIY juice, actively avoid any ingredient that contains any kind of vegetable oil in their composition (which is unfortunately often the case with some types of food flavouring). This is because oils could combust and combustion is the very thing people want to avoid when switching from smoking to vaping. I’ve heard that there are other forms of vaping where e.g. cannabis oil is involved but that type of device works very differently and has nothing to do with “nicotine e-juice” vaping. (Edit: the NYT article is just conflating many separate phenomena under the umbrella term “vaping” which is very unfortunate). PS Ex smoker and ex vaper here (I went from smoking to vaping to quitting everything, couldn’t have done it without vaping), I‘m fairly technical since I was involved in DIY juice making and device “modding” so hit me if you have questions.
