Careful with that stuff, it seems the kernel of truth in the current vaping-related illness hype is pointing toward the oil-based products commonly used for THC delivery.
- cr0sh 7y agoYeah - that is how it seems to be pointing; but they conflate it with all vape juice. Then again, there is that one study that found PEG/PPG juices caused certain issues. But inhaling vaporized oil/wax always seemed a bit sketchy to me. I've never done it, but I know that pulmonary lipidosis is a thing, and that there's a warning on Vicks Vaporub for that very reason (people have inhaled it after putting it in their nose - leading to lipidosis). It seemed reasonable to suppose that after inhaling a vapor of wax or oil, that it would/could condense back into the lungs. Over time, it would build up and become a serious issue. So now that this is confirmed - or seems to be confirmed - I think I'll pass, if I'm ever given the choice to try it out.
