    Wasn’t there one guy who ate a stupid amount of microwave popcorn a day who actually got popcorn lung from the consumer side, but yeah it’s mostly factory worker?

    There’s never been a single reported case of popcorn lung caused by vaping, and the vape manufactures have basically all chosen to switch to something other than diacetyl out of an abundance of caution. It was only ever in some of the “creamy” and popcorn type flavors anyway.

    That said, don’t start vaping. It’s great as harm reduction because it’s better than cigarettes, but unless you’re using it to stop smoking cigarettes, don’t vape.

        I do get sticky fingers from my gummies sometimes, but maybe cleanliness is not the sole quality I should focus on

        Wait actually? I was always under the impression that disposable thc vapes were fucking terrible for you. Do you have any links for me?

          Disposable THC vapes ≠ vaping flower or even dabs

          The reason those carts are bad is because of what they’re made of and what people put in them. Using cleanly made concentrates or just flower in most types of vaporization set ups is much better for you than either the carts or the combustion.

            Ahhhh, that makes sense. I do really enjoy dry herb vapes so maybe I’ll get one of those or make my own concentrate
