CDC says stop vaping as mystery lung condition spreads
I had a startup in Vaping(nicotine) and am still fairly in touch with the industry. There has been no major innovation in nicotine eliquid that would cause a sudden cluster of issues. It&#x27;s stayed pretty constant since 2013 with the exception of Salt Nicotine, which Pax labs has a gras study published for.<p>The majority of cases seems to be THC carts where it can be confirmed. One case was confirmed from a dispensary in Oregon. The &quot;Dank Vapes&quot; carts are sold on eBay&#x2F;AliExpress and anyone can fill them with anything. Reading on here the VitE may have been to increase potency is not something I&#x27;m familiar with since I&#x27;m not in the TCH trade, but I do know that synthetic vitamin E is made from a petroleum product precursor, and a food grade level of purification may not mean a quality to which it should be vaporised and inhaled.<p>CDC&#x27;s reaction is over the top, especially next to the FDA which is offering more precise warnings of avoiding THC carts. Be safe if you&#x27;re using these thc products, especially since even larger suppliers have trouble tracking supply, bank accounts and company formation that typically cleans up quite a bit of the bad actors from an industry. Nicotine vapes have matured significantly because of this moving to clean labs and central production of the liquid.
