WARNING! Do NOT under ANY circumstances use street purchased vape cartridges or any cartridge where you are not 100% sure of  the cartridge being CERTIFIED for content integrity and purity, and v/v ratio/percentages of additives to that of the primary ingredient. Using a street purchased cartridge can lead to immediate and permanent lung damage, or even death!

Due to a recent dramatic rise in serious lung disorders from the use of some vape cartridges, the CDC has issues a request that all vape users refrain from vaping until the CDC has determined what is causing the medical crisis from their investigations. This warning is the  blanket warning from the CDC and FDA and initial indications are that the health crisis stems from illicit carts purchased on the street or from uncertified sources….. in  such circumstances the user has no way of really knowing what they are vaping and they are taking the risk of their health into their own hands. This has lead to some very serious recent health problems in young vape users.

If you still want to keep vaping…..

Steps you can take to protect your health if you want to, or need to keep vaping:

• 1. If you own some illicit street vape cartridges of any type, or a cart where you are not 100% certain of the contents, throw them away safely – NOW! The CDC, FDA, and HHS advised consumers Thursday 5th September 2019 to avoid buying vape cartridges especially using products via unregulated street sources. They are unregulated, untested, could be contaminated and could do serious damage to your health and in some recent cases they have proven fatal.
• 2. Be warned! If you purchase an illicit market disposable vaporizer cartridge— THC, CBD or nicotine—and it’s filled with some unknown liquid for the primary content or dangerous additives at the wrong amounts, using it carries the risk of immediately injuring your lungs. At least three users may have died as a result of tainted cartridges.
• 3. To be as certain as you can to protect your health, use only certified and pure CBD or THC oil from a reputable source or company. If you want absolute assurance, ask for the lab testing reports to verify purity and content. If they don’t exist or are refused, don’t buy the product.  At this time, if you are worried about reports, it may be wise to avoid all additives for flavor, cloud, thickening etc., even though there has been no dramatic health issues of the kind that have recently emerged in the last 10 years. For now this may  be wise and until further notice from the CDC and FDA about their findings.  If you are a medical card holder, to be safest, use certified items purchased from a legal and registered government dispensary, if you are fortunate to reside in a state which have these.
• 4. Be sensible and use your vape responsibly at the correct temperature setting with a quality device. Some vape devices maybe running too hot and this could cause unwanted chemical changes in some additives. Vape devices that offer a temperature regulation option are preferable. If you are not sure, ask your vape device supplier, the manufacturer or check the internet for information on best temperature settings and how to use your device properly and safely (do not over-heat the material being vaped and practice battery safety).
• 5. With medical usage, use according to the correct and safe amount advised by your health professional and if a recreational user, use responsibly and seek advice from a health professional about how much is Ok without compromising your health. If you insist on ‘going it alone’ start with a verified source of what you intend to vape in a cart, stay away from unnecessary additive and start on a low dose and cooler vape setting. Do your homework about what to expect and what is safe.

It should be noted that from our reading of what has happened, dry herb vapes are not the problem and desktop vapes maybe one of the safest vaporizers you can use.

We are following what is happening with the CDC and FDA investigations and we will post any important information as it is issued.

Remember to think about your health and safety first, be responsible and keep your vape and materials away from underage youth and thanks for taking the time to read this.
