I see you’re in Washington. I grew up in the hills on the Southern Oregon Coast. I’ve found a place close to as remote as you can get while being on the wrong side of the Mississippi.

Syringes are normally used to deliver drugs.

The juul units are about the most expensive unit and it’s hard to take them apart and refill them. Young people(but 18 or older) tend to use units that are made to have parts replaceable and be refillable. You can easily put anything you want in them and can get a variety of different coils to fire things at different heat levels.

The only thing that would explain teens getting ill on Juul when every alternative unit is cheaper, is maybe they’re stealing them from their parents.

There are three major brands available in convenient stores.
1) Juul - A San Fransisco startup company
2) Blu - Imperial (Big tobacco co)
3) Vuse - RJ Reynolds (big tobacco co)

All make units with disposable pods that can be refilled if you try hard enough but only Juul, the most expensive, the smallest company, that is not Big Tobacco was used in a way that made kids sick and made the news?

BS

I started with Blu. I quickly learned there were less expensive alternatives. Such as buying e-juice and a heating coil. I do recall my friends wife picking apart a Blu cig in order to refill the cartridge. By doing so, she was able to extend the life or the cig maybe 5 fold.

All the kids using e-cigs to get high are fools. I feel sad for the parents. But kids will always find a way. That’s what kinds do.

I appreciate your incite on the issue.

” IQOS heats the tobacco just enough to release a flavorful nicotine-containing tobacco vapor but without burning the tobacco. “

So what’s the difference between this and common vapes with adjustable temperature? (Except being more proprietary and less adjustable)

I thought I just read that Altria owns a substantial part of Juul.

The problem with vaping is not the nicotine nor the vaping basic solution. The problem is the other crap that is put in it, mostly by the buyers of the vaping solution.

No, that hypothesis (e acetate) was discarded. It’s something else.

“The problem is the other crap that is put in it, mostly by the buyers of the vaping solution.”

Certainly appears that way. But why is it so difficult to identify the substance(s)? They have plenty of samples and many of the afflicted (if they can still communicate) are forthright about what they have been using.

“Altria will distribute Iqos in the United States for the first time Friday.”

Just something else our filthy politicians will want to ban.

Given the general stress level I usually feel, that’s two days too long.

Who are you to decide for me what I can or can’t do?

How does this relate to my #15 comment?

“How does this relate to my #15 comment?”

Only to the degree that you would support regulation of vaping, rather than restricting access by the underaged. Too often the response to underaged access to ANYTHING is to ban it for everyone else...

If that’s not what your “good for society” comment implied, then I am corrected.
