Unflavored ones have no taste at all. I guess this is to keep kids away from them and if it works that's fine, but anyone with half a brain can flavor their own e-cig juice with very little effort or expense. The flavorings are USDA approved food flavorings this will give you an idea of what's available: https://www.lorannoils.com/flavor-fo...1-7-ounce-size

My best friend kicked cigarettes with e-cigs, that was about 10 years ago, long before Juul and the fancy devices were available, most flavorings were tobacco, i.e. Marlboro or Newport but she didn't like that so she bought the basics made her own e-juice and flavored it herself. Her favorite was "cappuccino" Overtime she used less and less nicotine until she quit altogether. It was remarkable because she was one of those people who I figured would be smoking while she was on oxygen if she lived that long.

Yes, most have been linked to black market THC vape cartridges which have been found to have vitamin-D acetate in them. Only one case has been linked to vape cartridges bought at licensed dispensaries.

I think the cause of the recent deaths is probably due to ingredients that are assumed to be benign. Vapor is essentially aresolised vegetable glycerin, which is probably harming the lungs in some type of way from over use.

Since it's widely believed to be totally harmless, people are overdoing it.

1. It is not smoking. It is vaping. Smoking implies a combustible product. Nothing is combustible in vaping.

2. It is not tobacco. What you probably think by that is nicotine. However, you can vape e-liquid without any nicotine if you choose so. By the way that is exactly what I am doing while writing this.

3. Vaping itself has caused 0 deaths so far. What caused these 6 deaths was street THC with with who knows what else mixed in.

4. You will never hear the end of your overlords lying about it, of course, because killing the vaping industry is the best way to keep big tobacco, big pharma and big tax satisfied. The fact that vaping is saving many smokers doesn't matter to them.
Health officials have said there is not one type.....where are you reading it was all THC that killed.

That is one theory that the Vitamin E oil used to 'thicken' the vape....is causing the damage.

But nothing has been proven.

If you want to vape and wind up killing yourself , well it is your choice..if it is that enjoyable and you don't mind dying from it take that chance.
