Any truth in this article?

[Badayuni]

I know these rags are not to be believed, but could anything in this article be true?

Essentially, apparently, researchers tested the patient's e-cigarette they found cobalt in the vapour it released, along with other toxic metals - nickel, aluminium, manganese, lead and chromium.

This resulted in the disease the patient apparently got

I know its just one isolated incident but Could there be any truth in this? Heating the metal in coils produces toxic metals which could cause this type of things? What are your thoughts?

 

[zouzounaki]

It’s doubtful.

Can't open on phone but at a guess most prob a croc of shit from the daily fail again.
Same shit as the popcorn lung scare where factory workers were working over hot vats of diacetyl.

Will read when I get home.

Ignore everything the Daily Heil tells you, absolutely everything, about anything whatsoever. All of it.
Look at the dolly birds pictures if you really, really must - but no reading, only look at pictures!

Look in to research by Dr Constantinos Farsalinos, his acolytes and comtemporaries, and always keep an eye on Mawsley's front page articles on POTV for info.

The patient also admitted adding THC, the psychoactive agent in cannabis, to her liquids.

Black market THC products are thought to be the culprit for the vaping epidemic in the US that has seen 47 deaths and more than 2,300 hospitalisations.

Dr Nick Hopkinson, reader in respiratory medicine at Imperial College London, said the higher temperature involved in vaping cannabis oil may have triggered the illness.

Commenting on the study, he said: 'Following on from the outbreak of lung disease in the US that has been linked to vaping cannabis oil, this case provides further reason to avoid it.

'The higher temperature involved in vaping cannabis oil compared to normal products may increase the risk that metal from the heating element is inhaled.

Most prob from the same batch these asswipes flooded the market with https://www.cbs58.com/news/brothers...y7T8WSS4h23Yj-y_3bPCkTEpX1lNWXILH9GZ9vQGtImI0

link works now.
also i saw a report after they raided the house that paperwork was found with a shipment to poland but no idea how true this was.

Should be noted it's not just thc juice in the states (or from the states).
They've developed quite differently vape wise. Carto and pods are way more the usual over there so the home made boom has created a garage industry of people filling pods and selling the "janky" pre filled pods. With no tpd law's in place they've become rife as you can pick up juul pods for a fraction on the high street price but it's a gamble as to what they use as a juice carrier as they will often be making thc pods with the same equipment and who's to say what they use if they run short on an order.

 

[Mr Ripple]

I think it might be worth mentioning since the dawn of pods we've been pretty much consistent in what materials we've been using.
Cotton, silica, bleached or unbleached cottons coconut fibres.......
Kanthal, stainless, then came nickel (ni80) then titanium, eramics came and went.....
What wire and wick materials is being used inside sealed disposable tanks and pods?
