> It helps to be less judgemental about others' lifestyles and stick to the facts. Sorry if I came off as judgemental. With that being said, we're still unsure of the long terms effects of vaping. Those hobbyists who set their temps to ridiculously high levels and push their coil designs to the max are definitely taking it too far. I don't have a source for this claim, but rock with me on this one. Inhaling anything other than air isn't good for your lungs, and huge, HOT vape clouds aren't innocent in this discussion. I could almost argue that people who engage in that type of behavior are abusing vapes, especially when you consider what e-cigarettes were originally designed to do. I could also reference the numerous articles (.gov) that connects 'diacetyl', a flavorant used in numerous vape juices, to "popcorn lung". However, my original intent wasn't to attack vaping, but the people who take it way too far, and give casual e-cig users a bad image.

You're still passing undue judgement and exhibiting stereotypical categorization towards people who use atomizers, without having all the facts. Most of these people don't push their temps to the max because it ruins the flavor and destroys the compound. They actually use very precise temperature control and a higher temp doesn't mean more clouds. Except for extreme temperatures, temperature has also not been cited as contributing to this epidemic. > Inhaling anything other than air isn't good for your lungs What is "air"? The air quality where I live is pretty awful and filled with contaminants. Also, can you point to a case where inhaling marijuana smoke/vapor has lead to cancer or serious disease? Not all smoke/vapor is created equal. It matters what its composed of.

  I can tell you aren’t willing to understand my argument, so I’ll just slowly back away.

    We can respectfully disagree without you attempting to discredit my ability to understand what you're trying to say. The fact is, regardless of what either of us believe, that this is an ill-formed opinion of yours and it needs more work. Instead of being quick to double down, consider working to refine it by listening to what others have to say.
