According to a new report on patients in Illinois and Wisconsin who experienced severe respiratory illnesses after vaping, 83 percent admitted using black-market cannabis products. While 17 percent said they had used nicotine only, some of them may have been reluctant to admit using illegal drugs, and it's not clear that any of them were using standard e-cigarettes.
Vaping has been a thing for about a decade now. It seems odd that suddenly there's a slew of illnesses linked to it, and not from known vape devices like Juul or any of the other e-cig companies.
Of course, the health nazis would like you to think that ALL vaping devices are evil and will kill you within a month, but sorry, the evidence on the ground shows that's just not so.
It's not clear whether any of the products in the THC-only cases were closed-system devices such as Juul, as opposed to refillable vaporizers. Nor is it clear whether the cartridges or e-liquids used in the devices were legally produced, illegal knockoffs, DIY solutions, or mystery fluids concocted by third-party suppliers.
Let's go with "Illegal devices and mystery fluids", folks. The bottom line is that if you're a vaper, and you use legal vape devices/liquids, and don't try to get high with a mystery batch that you bought off a street corner, you're not going to come down with the illnesses that have come to the forefront of the American consciousness.
Sometimes the stupid really do take themselves out of the gene pool.

Market Ticker just posted on this and shares your viewpoint.
So - we had the same discussion and I said, "What are the chances that the tobacco industry is supplying the crap (probably Chinese) vape juice?" Think about it...
Damn near zero, for the American companies. 99% of them won't sell to your average unlicensed pharmacist.
Ah. I see what you did there.
