    Vapes don’t typically get hot enough to break glycerin down into DHA. The normal temperature range is 400-450F while glycerin breaks down at 536F

    That is wrong.

    That’s an invitro study which is basically worthless.

    It’s in cell models, not in vitro.

    Here’s a mouse study.

    We’ll just wait for the human data to eventually show up, but the studies running on this were killed by Trump when he killed the NIH last year. No way inhaling huge quantities of DHA isn’t dangerous. This is a major concern in sunblock cremes and that’s not even deep ingestion into lungs.

      Bro, they were firing old school clearomizers with a starting wattage that’s at the top of what’s recommended. You can tell by the conversation graphs because EC3 is a more modern tank and it’s an order of magnitude lower.

      There’s a reason why clearomizers didn’t stay around long. They designed this study to produce DHA. You can tell because there was no change in EC3 across the temperatures, yet they scaled their graph to make it look comparable to the clearomizers. And the levels in EC3 were so low that it could have easily been machine error given the way they had to measure it.

      The amount EC3 produced is 50x lower than the lowest amount the mice were exposed to.

      If you use a temperature controlled mod, this is all a non-issue.
