    Propylene Glycol
    Also vaping oil THC or otherwise, is not in any way proven safe AFAIK.
    Oils may cause problems when vaped, if they build up. AFAIK the lungs do not have a good way to get rid of it.
    But I’m not a THC user in any form, so it’s not a subject I’ve examined, so I may be way off on that.

      No, you’re probably right. I have a nebulizer that I put sodium chloride into to try and get the gunk out of my lungs.

        Maybe it’s not a good idea to vape THC oil then, if you can , you should probably switch to cookies. I suppose you already know, but the THC needs to be heated before consumption to be “activated”.

          Yeah I used to work for a medical marijuana distributer so I know all about the heat activation. The problem is that I enjoy the process of vaping while I watch shows and stuff.

          Thanks for telling me about the Propylene Glycol. I may try vaping that and using edibles instead, just to spare my lungs.

            What about a herb vape like a volcano or whip vape if you can’t afford? Anecdotally I hear the concentrates are way rougher on the lungs than dry vaping.

              I do have a Pulsar Sipper which I think is similar to the vulcano? It’s definitely better than the 510 cartridges I was using before
