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.

    I buy Al Fakher crown bars which are low Nic, .5% as opposed to the 5% that most like geek bar use, and they are vegetable glycerine and propylene glycol, and are still made in China.

    I don’t k ow how people hit those 5% vapes they make me cough every time.

      I cant speak to those, i buy my own unflavored vape juice in bulk, but if theyre made in china id still be very wary of heavy metal contamination.
