People probably said this plenty of times but just felt the need to make this rant. Had no prior knowledge to vaping (stupid idea) and had no knowledge of the stigma towards disposables. I was using the iget disposables and after experiencing shortness of breath, I discovered contain stupidly high amounts of nicotine (65 fucking mg of nicotine ffs). Fuck disposables they are a plague. My shortness of breath has been lasting for 3 months and the x rays came back normal and doctors said it was anxiety. Guess I have to live with this shit. It’s annoying af but at least I’m not dying. Might have lung damage the x ray can’t see but fuck it I’ll push through it like everything in life, it’s not killing me just annoying as hell. Regardless I probably won’t be living past 25 anyway lol.

Again, fuck disposables, stay the fuck away from them. I’m starting to think that the lung damages supposedly caused by ‘vaping’ isn’t just due to illicit thc carts, but also disposable vapes which shouldn’t even count as vaping. Feels so shit. If I had known beforehand or browsed this subreddit before getting a vape I wouldn’t be in this situation smh. This is why the government needs to legalise it and regulate it so that dodgy cunts aren’t selling shitty quality liquid to unsuspecting new vapers. The government doesn’t care about our health otherwise they would have legalised it and regulated the vapes for safety. The UK is a perfect example of how to handle it.

They talk about “what about the teenagers vaping is killing them!!!” but by not legalising it it’s the reason why teens end up fucking themselves on disposables. I am 18 and from firsthand experience banning things won’t stop teens from doing this (cos we’re stupid ik) but regulating the market will reduce the damage they do to themselves since they won’t be inhaling shitty Chinese liquid. Btw the reason why I started vaping was partly to fit in but mostly due to my depression and anxiety (stupid idea) and bc I didn’t like my meds cos they were making me feel empty inside. Was going through bad shit in my head around the same time I used vaping as a coping method.

Tl;dr fuck disposables and to newcomers on this sub, stay away from them. I wish I browsed this sub before deciding which type of vape to get.

Edit: idk why ppl are downvoting my comments. I’m not advocating for disposables, I’m warning people against them.
