In St. Petersburg, USA, a man died after a Pinoy-made vape pen exploded, sending two pieces of the device in his skull. His body ended up 80% in burns. The victim, 38-year-old Tallmadge D’Elia, was found dead in his apartment. His apartment was also in flames at that point.

It was invented in 2003 by a Chinese Pharmacist, Hon Lik and first sold in 2004. Also known as e-cigarette, it became a global hit. It was said that vapers are better off than cigarette smokers because vape only emits vapor.  As of 2018 most vapes are manufactured are from China. 

The first good research on vaping showed that vaping isn’t as safe as most people seem to think. In a study published this week in the journal Pediatrics, scientists at the University of California, San Francisco found evidence that e-cigarettes expose users to high levels of hazardous chemicals. These same chemicals are found in products such as acids and Styrofoam.

Also, in most e-cigarettes, the liquid used is normally composed of these four main ingredients. Nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerine, and flavorings. We all know that nicotine, found in cigarettes, is highly addictive. Propylene glycol is a preservative found in ice cream and coffee-based drinks, while glycerine is used as liquid sweetener. All these ingredients are highly addictive. 

According to Mark Rubinstein, a professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco, “Teenagers need to be warned that the vapor produced by e-cigarettes is not harmless water vapor, but actually contains some of the same toxic chemicals found in smoke from traditional cigarettes.”
