I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted, I’ve been vaping since I quit the fags 10 years ago - just switched addictions! But, I do buy from what (I think) is a reputable seller - he makes it himself and puts the ingredients on the label. I’m just not quite ready to quit yet.
I’m sure some of the shit kids buy is un-regulated and it needs tighter control. It’s like weed - gonna fuck up your brain eventually - but it brings in tax I guess - so, who cares?

I agree with you, but the article states she bought these vapes over the counter. She also had asthma and was regularly using her inhaler after vaping, which can’t be good, and also suffering a cold at the same time. Also, was 12 years old and started vaping at 9, going through a 6000-hitter in 2-3 days. As a current caper I can’t imagine burning through a vape that big unless I’m doing some serious bing drinking

It’s funny how we didn’t have these problems till the big tobacco companies got involved and started peddling their shit devices in every gas station and convenience store. Vaping came about as harm reduction for those of us that can’t get off of nicotine. Anyone selling to kids needs to be given a last cigarette and stood against a lonely, bullet-riddled wall. Maybe we should do vape sales like liquor: state-run, highly regulated stores with extreme penalties for anyone selling to, or buying for, minors. No online sales PERIOD. And no more single-use/pod devices: If you can’t handle filling a tank with juice and replacing coils, get fucked.

Bing drinking?
Is that a typo or you can the marching powder (colloquially known as Bing).

Lol definitely a typo, but maybe I’ll start canning some nose beers
