Cannabis oil vape pen w/ oil

[3Hotdogs]

Grandson got me one for Xmas. After getting it home and figuring out what it was, I'm embarrassed too tell him I don't know how to use it.

1. JFC - don't use it!

It will mess up your lungs. Then if you get covid, well... nuf' said

3. Get some gummies

Very mellow...

13. Do you prefer more CBD or THC? Or a combination?

I feel dopey with one (THC) or nothing at all with the other one.

14. I like cannibus-infused peach gummies

with a ratio of 2:1 CBD to THC.

It's a very mellow relaxed feeling that lasts about 4 hours. Good for housecleaning, gardening, bike riding etc. Then I'm ready for a nap.

4. That article is full of distortions, inaccuracies, and outright falsehoods ...

It's a scare piece.

For example:

"Diacetyl is frequently added to flavored e-liquid to enhance the taste"

BULLSHIT.

It's basically considered banned by all makers of e-liquid, nobody uses it since they found out it causes popcorn lung ... like 5 years ago, at least.

"The substance at the center of investigation is vitamin E. It’s often used as a thickening and delivery agent in e-liquid"
"vaping-related lipoid pneumonia is the result of inhaling oily substances found in e-liquid"

Absolutely no e-liquid should ever have any oily substances in them (apart from cannabis oil which is the same thing you put in your lungs if you smoke weed). The problem with the vitamin-E oil being referred to here was a result of unscrupulous drug dealers 'cutting' cannabis products with vitamin E oil.

Yet this article makes it sound like all vaping fluids contain oils. THEY DON'T. Vitamin E is not 'often used', it's NEVER used by anyone but street dealers.

This article is fucking BULLSHIT.

5. Thank you.

I will not partake.

[jmbar2]

6. No, thank you!

Thank you for not taking any unnecessary risks. Your lungs are precious.

My sister is an overwhelmed nurse. They cannot handle any more lung emergencies.

11. That article is bullshit, top to bottom ...

Honestly. I follow all this very closely, that's all friggin' garbage. See my post above.

7. It totally depends on the source of the liquid whether it could be harmful. In states where they are

legal, licensed retailers don't sell the blackmarket stuff that is dangerous.

[mr_lebowski]

12. Don't use tylenol, because cyanide is often used as a delivery agent ...

That statement is about as accurate as the crap in this 'contribution'

2. The one my son has is activated when you draw on it.

Another one I've seen has a button to activate the element.

If all else fails GTS (Google that shit).

Start easy. Too big a toke can bring on a coughing fit. 😉 😉

8. Safer alternative is a loose leaf vaper

like pax. Easy on the lungs and no additives at all.

9. The ones I get

you just draw (these are the all-in-one disposable kind). And they are from licensed manufacturers in the state where I live so I don't worry about the whole issue of adulterated liquid.
