They may look like travel shampoo bottles and smell like bubblegum, but after a few hundred puffs, some disposable, electronic cigarettes and vape pods release higher amounts of toxic metals than older e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, according to a study from the University of California, Davis. For example, one of the disposable e-cigarettes studied released more lead during a day’s use than nearly 20 packs of traditional cigarettes.

Because it’s the same headline on every article. Also, someone else posted the study.

    Like I said, the three companies named there are not the same companies, but you claim they are, and are sourcing it from the same Chinese sweatshop, even tho they don't even seem Chinese.

    https://www.elfbar.com/

    https://www.escobarvape.org/

    https://mipod.com/collections/

    So, again, can I get a source for your claim that all these are the same company sourcing their stuff from Chinese sweatshop?

    Since nobody else will provide the actual clarity

    EscobarVape and Elfbar are created by two separate Chinese companies, Shenzhen Innokin Technology Co. Ltd and Shenzhen iMiracle Technology respectively. Mi-Bar is created by an American company but has partnered with Elfbar to distribute Elfbar products in the US

    Really wish more people would just provide the facts that speak for themselves, rather than point fingers about who is and isn't doing their research
