We think it's a bunch of hooey unless we see this article (so called research) for ourselves. Sorry, but I don't trust hearsay, I'd rather be able to see the actual thing and then do some research/digging around to get more information.

There probably is more nasty chemicals in the air of a large city than there are in a e-cig. I even had one person try to tell me the LED light on the end of a cigalike causes cancer, there's a lot of misinformation on vaping being taken as fact.

I'd be interested to see a source on the article. You have to keep in mind there are many brands of e liquids from many parts of the world. Most decent vendors will provide you with a certificate or analysis (these days) and MSDS when requested. That way you can set your mind at ease and decide for yourself if you're willing to purchase said product. 

(And for the record, we have both)

My DYI list is the same I know exactly what goes into my juice.

The only other three places that occasionally I get/got juice from are also certified (VT,VW and CV) SO, I have absolutely no concerns as to them being thousands of times safer than cigarettes.

Thanks....I asked a manufacturer and they use the same. So my understanding is most brands now are like that. Not the cheap brands. Do u agree?

No, it all depends on the manufacturer. Some (or even many) of the "cheap" brands also use the same ingredients but, like I said, you'll need to double check each one.

The only thing that I put in my DIY juice that may contain chemicals is the flavoring, Most flavor makers list the ingredients of their flavors.

I use Flavor West mostly, and they have MSDS sheets on their products, also certificates of analysis which lists what is in the flavor.

I also use flavor west or TFA and they also have MSDS sheets or list any questionable ingredients in their product overview then it's at purchasers discretion.
