Vaporizer Design Company located in Denver Colorado. Until very recently, vaping has been viewed as a safer, non-carcinogenic way to use cannabis products as well as a healthier alternative to smoking cigarettes. This is partly true. Vaping can be a safer way to avoid carcinogens, but it depends on the ingredients companies use in their oil formulas and the materials used to make vaping devices.As cliché as the saying has become… it is true: Not all vapes are created equal.It is now well known that companies are using ingredients that they don't understand and unwittingly placing customers in harm's way. There are dangers in any new and emerging industries. Particularly when regulated as poorly as the cannabis industry. But it is no different than how the dietary supplement industry started; packed full of untrained self-proclaimed "experts" practicing what the cannabis space as coined as "bro-science". It's fair to give the benefit of the doubt that these manufacturers' intentions were never to harm anyone. However, haphazardly formulating with questionable ingredients with little thought given to how these ingredients may affect someone in a delivery such as vaping, is indeed negligence, and very serious.Professionally trained manufacturers in the vape industry have been warning consumers and regulators of bad behavior for some time. Even lung doctors have been seeing signs of vaping's potential dangers for years, but have not known where or with whom to register their concerns.We now see the behavior of a handful of bad companies leaving a wake of damage just as the industry is starting programs to self-regulate. In the interest of mitigating damage as much as possible, and preventing unnecessary red tape from being instated, the industry may want to take a look at areas obviously ripe for improvement… and make improvements.
