I believe plastic fumes can be very toxic to inhale if exposure is high enough. It can damage or scar the tissues on contact. Remember that kid that destroyed his lungs smoking out of a Pez dispenser? Not quite the same thing, I know, but... I don't know the toxic difference exactly, and I'm sure the type of plastic matters too...
Pretending the problem doesn't exist or is too rare to care about only looks worse IMO. It seems to imply DV has NOT identified it, or if they have, do not want to admit it for fear it will hurt sales. I'm sure that is not the case, but they need to tell us!
I forget what this is called, but it's not logical. Just because the guy across the street beat his wife doesn't mean all husbands are wife beaters. As you so rightly point out, details matter.
Consider darn near every (tobacco) pipe made has plastic in it. I don't recall that ever being an issue. There are appropriate plastic materials available, or don't you trust TV and Iolite?
I see no evidence whatever they're "pretending the problem doesn't exist", or that they don't care. And I certainly see no grounds at all to even suggest they know there's a health issue they're sitting on.....
especially if you're "sure that's not the case". If you're sure there isn't and are not trying to stir stuff up, just why say that.....in any color?
I think the thing that bothers me most about these new vape units is that there is no option for a refund should they end up being unsatisfactory like this unit. Lesson learned, wait a few months before purchasing new vapes.
Can't really blame a consumer for being excited about a product due to false claims and hype by the manufacturer.
... just saying, there isn't enough oversight on these types of products and it really should be a device that gets approved by the FDA before you can sell it in a medical state/community
I get it you want a refund, was that part of the deal when you bought it? It was a contract you know, it gave you rights of return or did not. You agreed to the terms up front. It's the way it works. If you return it for refund, they have to scrap it out (taking a loss), right? I'm glad it's a "Lesson learned", I hope your concerns turn out to be unfounded (for a lot of reasons) and it doesn't end up being an expensive lesson.
I see no evidence at all of "false claims and hype by the manufacturer", on what do you base this charge?
I understand your opinion that regulations and oversight are needed, many will differ of course for a number of reasons. But that too is an opinion. I'd like to point out, this is NOT a medical device, nobody ever made that claim. And I, for one, would be dead set against added restrictions on my state simply because of our legal MMJ status.....why should it be banned or restricted to me, with a Doctor's recommendation in hand, over a recreational user elsewhere?
I understand the concerns, guys, but this really is speculation. Mixed with kind of a scary assumption that something evil is up. I suggest those so concerned avoid this product, although I'd be hard pressed to suggest a guaranteed 'safe vape' except maybe Eubie. No, wait, that might use a butane lighter.....
While I'm big on educated guesses and speculation, I'm suggesting we keep it between the ditches until we have some facts to work with? Either trust the man or not, but don't call him names until you can back it up?
Thanks for listening.
