vaping unhealthy for lungs?

Vaping cannot be as good for your lungs as not vaping.
However it is a much safer alternative to smoking.
Around 95% safer than smoking according to several medical experts.

In over two years of vaping I have had one cold. And it did not drop into my lungs.
This compares to around 2 colds per year when I smoked.

I use NuNaturals NuStevia liquid sweetener.
I cannot tolerate any artificial sweeteners.

I
Not bad at all on the cotton.
Some buildup on the coil after a week or so.
I dryburn and rewick at 1-2 week intervals.

You can get the nustevia at Amazon or GNC.
~$10 for 1 oz which lasts me over 6 months.

If that was true, even warm air would be harmful in summer

The OP is just going off a college collected thesis, some of those story references are based on opinions (not proven studies or facts) and a few of them are even derived by questions put to the members here , haven't you ever seen the threads where they say they are taking a class in college and please answer our questionnaires? Now you know what those are used for.....LOL

Well, after being a heavy smoker for the past 20 years, I'm pretty sure this tasty warm steam I'm sucking on won't bother me too much. Every year people die from falling coconuts;yet, no one has ever died from vaping. So, I'll sit on the beach, vape, drink and, not worry about the people living in a bubble because of an article they read.

I smoked 2.5 PAD for over 37 years and vaping is only thing that ever truly helped me stop smoking and be happy at the same time.

I have a long laundry list of problems I no longer have health-wise since fully quitting cigarettes for vaping. Been vaping four years and fully smoke free for 14 months.

You enjoy that beach for me :giggle:

Again, fresh air is best but even that is getting hard to find!

After I switched to vaping, it was not long before I noticed that my breathing was better.

Also have gotten far fewer colds than I used to get more than likely it was due to the PG content of my E-Liquid.

Did you know that hospitals add vaporized PG into their air systems as the stuff kills bacteria?

Also, my regular Doc is thrilled that I am vaping and not smoking.

And so is my dentist. No more tobacco stained teeth.

Also, the article in question once again filled with skewed factiods ,half truths or outright bad information

I started out at 50/50 when I was a noob.

Did some experimentation with different ratios but I am now back to 50/50,

You're not supposed to inhale vapor alveoli-deep -- vaporized nicotine doesn't absorb worth a damn in the lungs; it absorbs best in the oral, nasal, and throat mucosa. It's true that old smokers still have a habit of fairly deep inhalation, but most of us train ourselves out of that very soon after starting vaping, just BECAUSE of the absorption difference.

Andria

ETA: you might also want to keep in mind that the temp inside normal lungs is about 98.6F.. that's pretty damn warm. If regularly breathing in something warmer than that is such a problem, then no one could live in the desert, or cook for a living, or many other activities that REQUIRE heat, and hence warm up the ambient air CONSIDERABLY.

Never read the how to vape directions.
So I just do it as suits me.

Until I learned that about not inhaling fast and deep like a cigarette, I couldn't get rid of my morning cigarette. Once I started doing it more slowly and shallowly, no problem, cigarettes 100% GONE.

i run a 4s lipo at 350-500 watts with airflow wide open so its hard not to pull hard and inhail deep

I suppose... but that's not vaping; that's HUFFING. And yeah, huffing is supposed to be deeply inhaled, that's what gets you high. :rolleyes: Since there's nothing in vaping to get one high, it really makes no sense to do it that way.

It's bullshit as with most of what you hear, just get your facts from the UK's National Health site. That's where you find the actual legitimate peer reviewed studies.

When the Royal Collage of Physicians start speaking out against Vaping I'll start to worry but since they've thrown their full backing behind it I'm good. It's not like they were the ones who lead the charge about the dangers of smoking back in the late 50's. But hey what would they know? They've only one of the (if not the) most prestigious Medical organizations in the world of over 32,000 Doctors and only been around 500 years ya know ;)

Now to counter that Bullshit article I'll give you this -

I quit cigs in 1 week with 808 cigalikes.
But was not altogether what I wanted had to go to RBA's in a Subtank Mini to get the draw I wanted.
Can handle a bit more open but the STM is about what I like.

the V2 STM not the toptank. do not like them as much. Prone to dribble after filling.
My V2 STM virtually never leak or dribble.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you may be mistaking the temperature for the actual wattage :)

I only know a handful of very crazy but highly skilled and experienced vapers that can actually vape above 200 watts, and then just to prove a point, rather than vaping for a satisfying experience

What is ohms does your coil(s) register at?

Can't tell if that is a standard unregulated build on a Hammond, but it looks unregulated.

Just because it can put out that kind of wattage, it does not mean that is what your coils are actually pulling

I have a couple of 30 ml atties - the size of the atomizer is a moot point. It is the coils that determine your wattage, not the size of the battery or the size of the atomizer. Only the coils.

its built in a hammond 1590 bs box its not really regulated or unregulated closer to unregulated but its a pwm you can adjust the power accordingly with a potentiometer rn my build is at .39 tri core aliens pot is set at 50% power

you are correct but the size of the addy cools thing off a bit and you get a little sag but not much on a lipo so im pushing close to what i stated earlier

So I understand you, you started a thread worrying about vaping being unhealthy for your lungs and you are honking on 350-500 watts with a lipo thing a ma jig in an unregulated hack job mod????:facepalm::slowclap:

I am going back to the OP and forgetting everything I said in between.

Vaping as you vape may very well damage your lungs.
At least it would be more likely to than for someone who vapes at say 30 watts.

I had no idea.....

500 watts would be around 14 volts of pure unpulsed DC.
ohms law.PNG
thats my set up right now now take 50 percent of 723 because thats where my potentiometer is set at and bam thats the wattage im at

So what ohms are you vaping? You never answered that...

EDIT: I see .39 ohms. Why you want to vape satan - I was right :crazy:
