Why Are Some Vape Pens Dangerous?

Not all vape pens are made the same. Some contain harmful chemicals that can hurt your lungs or overall health. Here’s why:

  • Hidden or Unsafe Ingredients:
    Some vape liquids include dangerous additives like Vitamin E acetate, which has been linked to severe lung illness. Others might have pesticides, heavy metals, or chemicals not listed on the label.

  • Unregulated or Counterfeit Products:
    Vape pens bought from unofficial sources or online may not be tested for safety. They might contain toxic substances, harmful chemicals, or even illegal drugs.

  • Device Quality Matters:
    Poorly made vape pens may release metal particles or other harmful substances when heated.
