A better analogue would be standing in a nearly contained box while running hot water over yourself and inhaling the vapour. Aka, taking a shower. Some people just don't understand the simple difference between smoke and vapor. Smoke is the result of combusting material, usually carbon which generates many thousands of chemicals, a lot of which are carcogenic. Vapor is the gaseous form of a liquid or more accurately the droplets floating in air form , such as steam. If you cool and condense smoke you get tar, a sticky concoction of horrid chemicals. if you cool and condense vapor you get the original liquid you started with minus an volatiles which didn't recondense. The similarities are... "It produces a whitish cloud" and nothing more. |

I have a feeling you got me wrong. I was opposing to someone that said it is stupid to hold shorted battery close to your face, which is a vape device... |

--- Quote from: sstepane on May 10, 2018, 12:50:50 pm ---Ok. I can rephrase - potentially dangerous device equipped with safety measures for everyday use. How close it is to any other device out there is a matter of taste really. --- End quote --- On battery safety there are any number of battery power devices which consume quite a lot power from lithium that could go bang if used incorrectly. Electric cars are a large scale example. However I do wish "sub ohm" vapours would catch themselves on mostly because they are inconsiderate tw@s who seem determined to get vaping banned for the rest of us while blowing overly/stupidly large clouds of vapor over everyone in the street thinking it's cool. They are also the ones getting a hard on for more and more watts and happily holding an 18650 undergoing a 100W load an inch from their face.... They spend £40 on a single 18650 which has a high current rating, then buy 4 of them so they can power their idiotic sub ohm coil.. </rant> |

I use multi-ohm coils at 8-10W. Sub-ohm'ers use coils which will not fire properly under 20-30W. Their justification is it produces more vapor and thus more flavour. I vape with a nicotine concentration of around 18mg/ml, so about 0.018% nicotine. A sub-ohm'er would probably turn purple and splutter at those levels, so they run at 0.004% nicotine and generate about 10 times more vapour.... which they produce in clouds which then pisses people off, get vapers a bad name and ultimately will get it banned in public and/or all other places! The stupid kid at school should have been allowed to play in the traffic as a child and they wouldn't be a problem any more. I am absolutely tired of protecting and pampering to idiots and having the rest of the sensible world banned from doing things that stupid people might hurt themselves with. |
