The newest trend among youth is vaping, which produces aerosols that contain nicotine and vegetable glycerin with flavoring. These vapors can damage the lungs by causing scarring and narrowing of the tubes that bring air in and out of the body. They also can harm brain development and cause addiction.

E-cigarettes

E-cigarettes, also known as vaporizers, use a battery to heat liquid into an aerosol that users inhale. The vapor can contain nicotine, heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, carcinogens and flavorings that can negatively impact the lungs.

We have received thousands of reports of serious lung injuries associated with vaping, including a condition called bronchiolitis obliterans or “popcorn lung.” This scarring can lead to difficulty breathing, coughing and chest pain, and can be fatal. Diacetyl, a chemical used in some flavorings, is a concern because it has been linked to this disease.

In recent years, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in youth use of e-cigarettes. This has been fueled by overt marketing and promotion and by the way social media sharing allows overtly pro-tobacco messages to spread to peers. This behavior can suppress efforts to quit smoking and lead to dual-use of both combustible tobacco and vapor products. This can undermine the public health goals of eliminating tobacco smoking and reducing the burden of lung diseases caused by combustible tobacco.

LVE Vapor

LVV is a company that makes high-quality vaping devices. The company uses USP grade ingredients, which ensures that the product you’re purchasing is safe for use. Their products also don’t contain diacetyl, which is linked to popcorn lung. These factors make them one of the best high-end mods available.

The Orion II 40W Pod Mod from LVE is a sleek and stylish device that features interchangeable panels made of real-quality materials. It is compatible with Orion 2 Pods and has a built-in 1500mAh battery that offers great performance. It also has a USB-C port for fast charging and comes with an impressive protection suite.

The Orion II is easy to operate and has a variety of features that make it a good choice for new vapers. It has a power button, up and down buttons for adjusting the wattage, and a 0.69 inch OLED display. It also has several safety features that prevent short circuits and overheating.

E-liquids

E-liquids are the liquid that is vaped in an e-cigarette or vaping device. They typically contain propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, plus a variety of flavourings and optional nicotine. The ratio of PG to VG determines throat hit and cloud amount, while the flavourings are usually natural or artificial.

High-VG e liquids, also known as ‘cloud chasers’, are popular with people who prefer direct-to-lung vaping. They produce large clouds of vapour, and are often recommended for kits with low-ohm coils.

E-liquids can contain a range of harmful chemicals, including antifreeze made from propylene glycol and ethylene glycol and aldehydes such as formaldehyde. These react with flavourings to create toxins that can be inhaled into the lungs and can cause the same problems as secondhand smoke. They also often contain diacetyl, which is safe in food products but can cause a dangerous lung condition known as popcorn lung when inhaled. Several e-liquid manufacturers have phased out this ingredient, but it can still be found in some buttery flavours.

Vaping devices

Vaping devices are also known as e-cigarettes or electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). They use a battery to heat an e-liquid, which produces relevant vapes that can be inhaled. The liquid can contain a variety of ingredients, including nicotine and flavorings. It is typically made from propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin, and is often combined with other chemicals.

Pod vaping devices are simple, convenient and effective for those who want to quit smoking. They resemble a USB flash drive and hold prefilled nicotine liquid cartridges, which can be replaced when they are empty. Pods are available in many flavors, from fruity blends to dessert-inspired concoctions.

Pod mods are more advanced than cigalikes and offer a range of customization features. They can adjust wattage, temperature and airflow settings to create the perfect vaping experience. Moreover, they can use replaceable coils to switch between different flavors and vaping styles. This makes them ideal for those who want to try out a variety of e-liquids.
