    The dentist part makes zero sense…PG is antibacterial and antimicrobial, which we have known for decades now. This study like you said is %100 bullshit, and just like the “popcorn” lung study, probably burned the wicks and metals on the vapes with no solution at all.

    Someone’s got an agenda here.

      The popcorn lung thing is because of diacetyl, which creates a buttery flavor.

      Nobody uses diacetyl flavoring anymore.

        Correct but in that study they were literally burning the wicks and filaments by running the vape dry.

        Even when I was vaping like 15+ years ago you couldn’t find liquid with diacetyl flavoring used. It was basically non-existent even then.

        Yup! 100% correct. The replacement flavors all contain a GRAS (generally recognized as safe for human consumption) replacement chemical that, if overused, tastes like vomit barf… cuz it’s in barf! If used in the correct quantity though, it creates a nice creamy/buttery/smooth flavor. Thank you, CAP Vanilla Custard 2.0 bottle I’ve had for like a decade and should replace!

      Both PG and VG are hydrophilic so they can dry out your mouth which can cause dental issues.

      That’s one of the few legitimate risks of vaping, albeit a low one.
