Realtalk on vaping cannabis vape refill thingies
So I need some realtalk by Lemmie's resident stoners and possibly medical professionals on the benefits and risks/harms of vaping cannabis refill things on the respiratory system (using a rechargeable vape pen/battery thingy at the lowest heat setting).
Give it to me straight docs, whats up and how long do I have to live if I use it infrequently but potentially daily in small amounts?

I can't speak as to much from personal experience. However, I do know of an extended family member that had a negative respiratory reaction to a weed vape he got online. He survived, but ended up in a coma for a while and suffered serious brain damage from lack of oxygen. He was a talented athlete, and now he will be lucky to walk and feed himself again.
Don't know if it was tainted product, an allergic reaction, or what, but... I would make sure you can trust the safety of the product itself, ease into use checking to see if you might have a reaction, and maybe be prepared with an epipen or something in case you have a negative allergic reaction.
Just to be clear, I'm not one of those fear mongering "weed kills" types. I'm not a smoker myself, but very much support legalization and responsible recreational use. But I do not trust all of the sketchy companies producing vape products in general, let alone products that are illegal in much of the world.
Holy shit, yeah, I heard there were lottsa sketch places and products fudging the THC numbers with Vitamin E like how they contaminated baby milk in China with bullshit "protein". I really should get the brand names and read some reviews but I doubt that would be sold in the upscale weed store (it really is, like an Apple weed store pree much)
fudging the THC numbers with Vitamin E
It was a specific product ("Honey Cut", a brand of vitamin E acetate) that was sold to black-market cartridge makers by a company based in Los Angeles. It was used as a diluent ("cut") that is thick enough to fool users into thinking they're getting pure cannabis extract. It doesn't affect measurement of THC concentration; unlike lab-tested legal extracts, black-marketeers just lie.
