I previously shared an experience about the difference after maturation of liquids aged in glass vs. plastic bottles.
As a reminder:

In the picture, three bottles are visible, containing liquids of different colors and sizes, likely vape or flavored oils. (Labeled by AI)

The difference is also significantly noticeable during use.
During the vaping of 6 x 4.5ml (27ml.), the condition of the cotton after the liquid aged in glass shows a completely different picture. There’s still at least 10ml left in it because it’s just starting to taste good now. I haven’t even changed it yet…

The picture shows a vape device, a part of it, and a bottle of e-liquid containing the "Don Cristo Pistachio" flavor. (Labeled by AI)

The news I heard about microparticles potentially leaching from plastic, even from mineral water bottles, is believable to me now.
At this point, I gave up on Pods and switched to RTAs, preferably made only of metal and glass, because it’s reassuring for me when vaping at 220-230°C. I leave the rest to your imagination, but I think at 80-100°C, what could still be leaching out???
All settings and builds are identical:

Well, the glass is larger and also provides heat protection, I’m not worried about microplastics at this level.

(By the way, liquid viscosity, refractive index, etc.)

You weren’t sure about it until now? Microparticles can dissolve, and perhaps they do. Sometimes even two bottles of the same mineral water don’t taste the same.
This is why I steep my liquid in glass bottles. I only keep the quantity intended for consumption in plastic, and even that not for weeks. :saluting_face: :thinking:

I think it’s completely natural that it looks different in the coil because it’s different in the glass bottle. A factor influencing the oxidation process is the use of glass/plastic bottles, which you also experienced. The detachment of metal particles from the coil due to heating is much more problematic, but this can still be an insignificant amount compared to what a person can inhale during city air exposure. Although in city air, the concentration of particulate matter is a bigger problem than airborne metal particles.

But of course, everyone believes what they want. You haven’t convinced me.

If someone has already quit analog cigarettes, they’d rather vape liquid from a plastic bottle than that poison! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

It’s not that they are wrong, but several other things are orders of magnitude more harmful in this process :slightly_smiling_face:

Many people also tell me yes, and what will happen if you vape this crap for 10 more years, what harmful effect will it have…
They are right, but I haven’t heard of a vaper dying from e-liquid, but I have heard of a smoker dying from cigarettes.

I don’t think my colleague is right. They haven’t substantiated it with a lab test that microplastics detached from the inside of the bottle, but rather they see and think so. Which is not a problem, but these are not scientifically substantiated facts.

Quite a lot of healthy “zombies” are walking among us who have already gone through the 10-year vape cycle…:wink::grin:

The existence of microplastics is fine :slightly_smiling_face: just like microglass, microphone, microbe, micropenis also are.
The order of magnitude is what’s important.

Interesting and thank you.. we’re not all the same, because for example this part doesn’t interest me. It’s possible to live our lives easily without any worries.. I chose this path..:heart:

By the way, I’ve read many studies on the topic, and I found them credible…
I haven’t encountered anything that says it’s not true, only from your perspective…

This page is about this. In my opinion, my experience might affect many people, so I shared it.
I don’t wish to influence anyone…
