The truth may be leaking out.
I had an interesting conversation last night with a friend down the road who we walk the dogs with. She is my age, late 60's. She has COPD and smokes. She tried vaping a few years ago. I gave her a Spinner and Pro Tank. Didn't work out well, she didn't really want to do it. Insisted on using unflavored zero nic juice. She was completely ignorant about vaping and wasn't interested in learning. Earlier this year she told us she had heard it was worse than cigarettes.
Now her breathing is getting worse and she wants to try again. She just asked me about the vaping lung disease. Wanted to know if the stuff I make contained vit E acetate. I started to explain that was about THC carts and she cut me off. Said, I know that I just wanted to be sure you don't put it in your juice.
Thing is, given her past complete lack of interest in the subject and how flaky and uninformed she is generally, it amazed me that she had picked up the info about acetate and knew it was a THC cart problem. She is about the last person I would have expected to know and understand those details. It gave me a little hope that accurate information is trickling down through the fog of propaganda.
I'm thinking of giving her a Pico and Nautilus this time.
