Vapes don't actually produce vapor. They atomize the liquid, basically like how an essential oil diffuser functions.

    O... K...

    I don't think the distinction is relevant... Either way we're talking about particulates that are small and light enough to be airborne, be breathed into the lungs, and to interact with lung tissue such that some of the chemicals are absorbed into the bloodstream (which is how you get the drugs from the vape into your body).
