Vapes, or e-cigarettes, have totally taken off over the last ten years. They’re sold as a less gross way to get your nicotine fix compared to regular smokes and tons of young people and ex-smokers trying to quit are into them. But health folks say hold up—vaping’s not risk-free. The Institute of Human Anatomy points out that while vapes dodge the nasty toxins from burning tobacco, they still hit you with iffy chemicals in tiny aerosol bits.
All over the world, governments are slapping rules on vapes. In the U.S., the FDA makes companies jump through hoops to get new vape gear approved. In places like Europe and Asia, they limit nicotine levels and ban some flavors to stop kids from getting hooked.
Vape mist can irritate and mess up your lung tissue. Your lungs are full of these little air sacs called alveoli that handle oxygen swaps and stuff like propylene glycol, veggie glycerin and flavorings can tick them off. Using vapes a ton might lead to rare problems like “popcorn lung” (aka bronchiolitis obliterans), usually linked to a chemical called diacetyl.
The big vaping vs. smoking argument often boils down to nicotine. Regular cigarettes blast nicotine into you fast through burning, kicking out tons of bad stuff like tar and carbon monoxide. Vapes use heated coils to turn e-liquid with nicotine salts or freebase nicotine into mist.
Vapes can pump out as much nicotine as cigarettes, or less, depending on the device’s power and how you use it. Take AIVONO’s AIM FLASH 35000—it lets you tweak power from 16W to 20W, so you decide how much vapor and nicotine you’re pulling in.
Vaping can make your throat scratchy, make you cough, feel dizzy, or speed up your heart in the short term. The long-term stuff is still being figured out, but it could lead to symptoms like chronic bronchitis or weaker lungs. Some studies say using vapes for ages might also mess with your heart.
Vapes skip a bunch of the cancer-causing junk in cigarette smoke, but they don’t kill addiction risks. However, some low nicotine vapes are less addictive than high-strength ones because of lower chemical pull—like AIVONO’s AIM FATBEAR 80K PUFFS with 20ml e-liquid and options from 0%2%3%5% nicotine.
At AIVONO, we’re all about changing the vape scene with cool tech and stuff that works for users. Kicked off in 2018 in Shenzhen’s Bao’an District, we make and OEM-produce top-notch vape gear for markets all over the globe.
We’re big on making our gear comfy and easy to use. Check out our AIM MAGIC 20000 PUFFS: Ergonomic design, comfortable to hold and no tired hands after long-term use. With a private model appearance that avoids aesthetic collision and highlights individuality, this thing screams our love for user-focused gear.
Our dual mesh coil tech gives you a bolder flavor with a bigger heating area for full-on mist-making. Stuff like AIM FREAK 13000 PUFFS comes with a color screen showing battery and e-liquid levels live, so you can dial in your vape exactly how you want it.
We know folks are stressed about chemicals in vape mist. That’s why our devices have different nicotine strengths, including 0% options, for people wanting to ease off while still enjoying the vibe. Our gear’s got safety stuff like child locks (like in AIM MAGIC 20000 PUFFS) and adjustable airflow (like in AIM FATBEAR 80K PUFFS) so you can tweak your puffs.
E-liquids usually have propylene glycol (PG), veggie glycerin (VG), nicotine (if you want it) and flavorings.
PG carries the flavor, while VG makes the vapor thick and cloudy. Both are usually cool to eat, but we’re still figuring out what happens when you breathe them in.
Some studies spot tiny amounts of heavy metals like lead or nickel in vape mist from metal coils. Plus, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like formaldehyde can show up when things get super hot.
The levels are usually lower than cigarette smoke, but hitting vapes a lot can still add up risks over time. Experts say we need more long-haul studies but warn not to assume vaping’s all good.
Teens and young adults are more open to vape effects since their brains are still growing. Nicotine can screw with their focus, memory and make them more likely to get hooked on other stuff later.
For older people switching from cigs, vaping might cut some risks if it helps them quit—but it’s not harmless. If you’ve got heart issues, definitely talk to a doc before using nicotine vapes.
Q: Is vaping safer than smoking regular cigs?
A: Vaping skips the toxic stuff from burning cigarettes but still hits you with iffy chemicals, so it might be less bad but not totally safe.
Q: Is vaping better for blood pressure than cigarettes?
A: It dodges carbon monoxide from cig smoke, which messes with oxygen, but nicotine can still bump up your blood pressure no matter how it gets to you.
Q: Can vaping cause lung issues even without nicotine?
A: Yup. Even zero-nicotine vapes have PG/VG mist that can bug your lungs over time, maybe causing breathing problems.
Q: How quick does vaping start messing with your body?
A: Stuff like throat irritation or a racing heart can hit in minutes or hours. Long-term stuff depends on how often and how long you’re vaping.
