    I started vaping 15 years ago, and I have researched the issue intensively. So no this is not misinformation, you are the one that is uninformed. The number of obviously flawed studies on e-cigs is insane.
    It is also funny how you completely fail to show anything wrong with my post, but just make a blanket statement without any real argument.

      Have you researched the issue recently. Because some of the stuff you said was stuff I read about when I started vaping like 10 years ago. Like the stuff about it being too hot. Its something I see repeated a lot by people who dont want to see reality.

      Yes, a study, many years ago, did that. But did this study do that? You cant keep trotting that line out and expect it to stay relevant.

      Ive stopped vaping as of last year, but it was obvious to me the flavour compounds were a complete unknown.

        Yes, a study, many years ago,

        If you think that was the only fake study you are wrong. There was also a study where they measured the formaldehyde using a test person, in a closed room.
        Lo and behold they found formaldehyde, and the press spread the news like rabid dogs.
        The problem was that we exhale formaldehyde naturally, and the level of formaldehyde measured was consistent with a person NOT vaping.

        But did this study do that?

        Most probably, because as I state there have been numerous studies that show no formaldehyde. These fake studies are made to push an agenda.

        Ive stopped vaping as of last year

        Good for you, I also stopped about 5 years ago, something I was unable to without the e-cig.

        it was obvious to me the flavour compounds were a complete unknown.

        Not complete, they are used in professional kitchens and industries, where people have been exposed for many decades. The chemical nature is also known and is deemed safe.
        You can also vape without flavor, which I did for about a year before quitting, the taste is actually quite nice IMO even without flavor.
        But I must admit I can still miss the taste of a good RY4 despite I’m 100% off the nicotine.

          Can you not see how biased and untrustworthy you sound? You effectively admitted to not even reading this study.

            There is no source to the study, the link doesn’t work.
            Also even if I read the study, it is not a sure thing that their mistake is obvious, and I’ve seen dozens of studies that were done correctly that show there are no known carcinogens in the vapor of e-cigs.
            Or rather the ones that are detected are way less than 1% of a cigarette, which means vaping similar to smoking 20 cigarettes per day, will expose you to the equivalent of 0.2 cigarette. The biggest number being the formaldehyde we exhale naturally.

            So please just piss off with you knee jerk ignorance.
            I’ve studied the issue plenty, I don’t need to read yet another flawed study, I’ve seen plenty of those already.
