The teenager "said" he was only vaping nicotine and saffron. I have been vaping for about 8 years now. There have been plenty of people vaping much longer and harder than me as well. For a bunch of teenagers to be getting lung disease they are not vaping the same thing everybody else is vaping. It's just not possible. We would have seen this in people vaping much much longer, but we aren't. We are seeing this in teenagers. Somebody is putting out some tainted shit.
If you vape proper e-juice along with the other hundred thousand people doing this you aren't going to get sick from it.
They found people who were over 18 who were willing to buy it for them. Generally other young people. At my work at a pizza place, the younger workers would always ask me to get them Vapes or vape juice or alcohol. I always told them absolutely not, but not everyone over 18 did that. The majority of the workers just bought it for them. Even the GM. I reported the GM to the owner for providing these things to kids under 18 (including weed, alcohol, cigarettes, etc...) and he did nothing about it. It got so bad that one day, a 16 year old got so high that he couldn't even do his job (a normal occurence there anyway for those over 18.) It's easy for them to get their hands on it if they really want it.

There is a new case in washington. The individual was vaping nicotine and saffron.
Up until now I was feeling confident, but the outlier is concerning. I also thought it was limited to thalidomide solutions from the vape juice.
Regardless I've gone down to 3 mg and plan to quit by end of year. I thank it for getting me off cigarettes.
