    Vitamin E acetate was found in grey market THC vapes as a thickener.

    The 2019 panic was mostly caused by kids who got hospitalized, and didn’t want to admit they’d been using THC.

      the pubmed article is like 5 years old so it’s entirely possible that it isn’t used anymore, but at the time they found it in JUUL pods and all sorts of other nicotine-based vape fluids (as well as yeah the grey-market thc vapes). I think the best advice is probably what someone else down below said, try to get pharmaceutical-grade which means it only has chemicals deemed safe for human consumption.
