    Fuck, how difficult could it be to create a system that heats water above evaporation temperature without releasing toxic metals in the process. Incredible.

      They make ceramic type coil systems. Idk if they are any better.

      I’m not saying vapes are good, not at all. I’m quite sure the opposite in fact. However I believe any attempt to publicly dismiss them is paid for by big tobacco

        We report excessive emissions of toxic metallic elements in aerosols from flavored and “clear” versions of three popular products (Esco Bar, Flum Pebble, and ELF Bar), orders of magnitude higher in concentration than traditional cigarettes and other e-cigarettes.

        So they tested more than three but found these for three in particular had problems.

        They also don’t compare cancer risks to the rest of the tars versus heavy metal this is metal vs metal.
