So, eight Wisconsin teenagers hospitalized with lung problems, doctors claim only link is that they all vaped.

So what were they vaping? Tide Pods?

Likely something not legal in Wisconsin, or possibly not legal anywhere else, made by someone who hasn't a clue.

I'm standing by that due to the fact that in my 10 years vaping I've never seen a report of this with an adult. I'd also venture to guess that at least 50% of teen vapers aren't using nic juice at all and their parents are none the wiser.

I bet they tried to flavor their juice and added an oil based flavoring or some chemicals they thought would taste good. I don’t think it was the legal in some states stuff because I’ve never heard of that causing a problem and people have been vaping that for a long time.
Something oil based or some other nefarious substance. Kids are stupid, they know enough to make them think they know it all. As we all found out when we reached adulthood, we didn’t know shit.

It’s funny since a lot of the newbies that come to forums will call eliquid “oil”. :smh: Although I will say, I’m glad I’m not a kid nowadays!

But why would you buy it on the street if it’s legal? Or did they add thc to it ?

I saw a story about teens who were Hospitalized after vaping some shit they bought on the streets. I didn't do more than glance at it because it is not something I am into.

They also call the vapor smoke which is a pet peeve of mine. That’s the whole point of vaping is to get away from the smoke. Then again if they are vaping oil maybe it is producing smoke and we’ve been wrong all along lol.

Yes, calling vape smoke drives me crazy also

It also pisses me off that they have repeatedly said "vaping causes the harm" (that is paraphrased, but you get the point) instead of stating what they vaped is suspected of causing harm, not vaping in the traditional sense

:teehee: I never thought of that! And agree, it’s really annoying to hear someone say they smoked their vape, or just that there was a lot of smoke, peeps.

This is a perfect scenario for anti-vaping people to jump on.

Wasn't this that story about some Street CBD?

Likely home brew Street THC filling a huge demand at Wisconsin. Some stupid pusher probably thought of upselling w*** (in pod format) by boiling it and/ or adding cooking oil. The result...

Newbies make the mistake all the time - I did

But a journalist should be slapped hard for it - do the research assholes

I remember the first time someone asked me if I was vaping - I said no, I'm smoking my ecigarette :giggle:

Vaping can be worse for you than smoking.
It all depends on what you are vaping.
Saw an idiot on youtube years ago vaping racing fuel...
Vaping 100mg nic can't be good for you either...

Mho,, they were huffing paint or other chemicals. Vaping didn't do this,, dr & parents showing how gullible they are.


The kids can blame it on vaping and convince their parents that they’re innocent victims, since the parents (and doctors) don’t know anything about vaping. Screwed up situation!

If the kids never try to learn what e-liquids are made of, they could mistakenly think that e-liquid is just simply flavoured water, sugary water like soft drinks. What happens if they try to vape with mountain dew :eek:

Yep,. I am what most would call a heavy vaper,,30-50 mls day,,,i just had my 3rd lung test end of May and again the lab people don't believe I was 2packs a day for 35 years. Very clear lungs,, back in the new year I was actively holding my breath every day for 3+minutes without struggling. So I aint buying the story at all,, the kids, drs , parents. ,,,, Somebody is lying

I don't think it was something commonly vaped or even something we would even think to vape look how this youth has grown to be.... As op mentioned tide pods... All these stupid "challenges" that go viral no telling what they dumped in their tank if it was even from vaping

I know there is a THC extraction method using butane, and I was wondering if this might be the source of this madness... and then again....hell it wouldn't be the first time a street dealer cut his products with dangerous materials.

In Wisconsin, all vaped oils containing THC, CBD, or another drug which is illegal (I think) so I can't spell it out - bought from friends or street vendors

It also specifically mentioned dabbing, i.e nothing to do with nicotine e-liquids

Oils. Like coconut oil, or whatever other oils wannabe hustlers dissolve THC into and call e-liquid

None reported using any major brands of nicotine vape products

I wish news stories would emphasize that last part

I quit vaping CBD because it quickly reforms into oil droplets (and did nothing helpful for me, full spectrum cannabinoids are required for the helpful effects for me, personally)

Was in the Newspaper here today with the Headline of 1st Death Attributed to Vaping. And On Monday I am calling Newsday to enlighten them about what these kids were vaping and to inform them that I will be spreading across Social Media and Vaping Advocacy Groups how this is FAKE News if they do not print a retraction or a correction. This is how you Advocate in your own little way by making them print what is right. These fools were trying to get High not Vape. And bought something NOT Approved for Vaping.

Pretty sure they bought carts filled with some getting high stuff, and all and sundry are calling it vaping. And rolling out the dread threat of vaping to teens etc. it’s tailor made for fake news and shills.
Sorry someone died, but it isn’t straight up nic vaping. Doesn’t stop them from harping on the risks and health dangers of nic vaping, though. Because the alternative—smoking—is so much healthier!

Here in the Tampa Bay area I have heard of street dealers selling pods which contain the equivalent to K2 or spice. I have seen video footage on YouTube showing people under the influence of this drug and it literally makes them either uncontrollably insane or comatose. Gee that looks like fun.
