Disposable E-Cigarettes More Toxic Than Traditional Cigarettes

They may look like travel shampoo bottles and smell like bubblegum, but after a few hundred puffs, some disposable, electronic cigarettes and vape pods release higher amounts of toxic metals than older e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, according to a study from the University of California, Davis. For example, one of the disposable e-cigarettes studied released more lead during a day’s use than nearly 20 packs of traditional cigarettes.
The three "brands" they tested are all from the same outfit, who most certainly sources them all from the same sweatshop in China. This does not apply to all disposables by any stretch. There's plenty of better reasons to dunk on disposables.
I saw this same exact comment under another thread that talked about a study, but it was clearly wrong as they were from different parent companies. In this case, the brands aren't even named in the study. Again, I must ask for source for your claim, but again I don't expect you to provide it.
The brands are mentioned in the study that is linked in the OP article. Don't even have to open the pdf as the abstract already has them: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acscentsci.5c00641
Because it’s the same headline on every article. Also, someone else posted the study.
Also, it's only disposables. I use the rebuildable rtm coils with tiny microcoils I wind myself and cotton at 12W, and I've had my blood tested recently per a physcial and lead was on the sheet at a negligible amount.
Some other dude might use an entirely different brand, someone might use pods, someone might use old gear, set in their ways.
And the coils for all of these setups range from pieces of mesh to metal plates to wound pieces of wire to ceramic disks to who knows what. There is no standard.
Yeah keep on trying to justify your habit. Just admit they’re bad but you like them anyway.
So expecting actual scientific evidence instead of going based on the vibes of moralizers is just rationalization? Also did you even read their last sentence? Invalid.
Where was the justification in that post? Did you just wake up this morning and decide to be a dick or is this just normal you?
Better than leaf. I know who I am. Harm reduction.
Yes vaping is worse than not vaping. Its bad. I like them anyway.
Why don't you take your judgemental attitude and fuck right off bud.

Christ you people are so annoying.
