There's never been a single reported case of popcorn lung caused by vaping, and the vape manufactures have basically all chosen to switch to something other than diacetyl out of an abundance of caution. It was only ever in some of the "creamy" and popcorn type flavors anyway.
That said, don't start vaping. It's great as harm reduction because it's better than cigarettes, but unless you're using it to stop smoking cigarettes, don't vape.
And I gotta say, I went from gigs to vapes 5 years ago and now I'm just stuck on fucken vapes. I can't stress how important it is to just never smoke in the first place.
Idk if anyone will take anything useful from this but I tried smoking and loved it. Did it for years, thought it was great. Slept like crap, was stressed all the time, couldn't be athletic. It was so awesome.
I finally quit nicotine completely 5 years ago and all that stuff I thought it helped with? Yeah that was just withdrawal. Now I'm stuck with cravings I don't think will fade any time soon and elevated cancer risk.
Just don't smoke, it's not worth it. Do fun drugs that are easier to quit instead.
It is also a cleaner delivery mechanism for THC than combustion.
Yeah, but maybe avoid the black market weed carts. EVALI was caused by black market weed carts using vitamin E acetate (which isn't going to be in nicotine juice because nicotine plays nicely with vegetable glycerine and propylene glycol, THC doesn't) - the feds busted the manufacturer shortly after people started getting sick and I haven't heard about EVALI since then, so presumably nobody else is trying it at the moment, but the lack of widespread reporting about it being from black market weed carts is frankly criminal.
I do get sticky fingers from my gummies sometimes, but maybe cleanliness is not the sole quality I should focus on
Wait actually? I was always under the impression that disposable thc vapes were fucking terrible for you. Do you have any links for me?

There's more diacetyl in cigarettes than in the most buttery of desserty vape aromas.
its actually because the condition makes your lungs look like popcorn
bronchiolitis obliterans
That's the real medical term and I love it. Obliterate your bronchioli!
I need the previous posts in this conversation
I can't exactly share them, but it was originally about how you should be aware of what's going into your body, and how while weed isn't as bad as tobacco, it's still not something that's great for you to inhale.
Then a series of jokes of how "I can't inhale cum?" "I can't inhale crack?" And then somehow this one.
Wasn't there one guy who ate a stupid amount of microwave popcorn a day who actually got popcorn lung from the consumer side, but yeah it's mostly factory worker?
I propose it should be called FAKE BUTTER LUNG
Now I want to try huffing the air from microwave popcorn bags
