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 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.

          Since nobody else will provide the actual clarity

          EscobarVape and Elfbar are created by two separate Chinese companies, Shenzhen Innokin Technology Co. Ltd and Shenzhen iMiracle Technology respectively. Mi-Bar is created by an American company but has partnered with Elfbar to distribute Elfbar products in the US

          Really wish more people would just provide the facts that speak for themselves, rather than point fingers about who is and isn’t doing their research
