Hey guys!
Ok so I don’t smoke but I’ve tried a couple of friends vapes and liked the flavours so was thinking of taking it up, so wouldn’t be using nicotine. Im in the UK and I have a few questions
-
Some sources say VG and PG can lead to lung disease, others say they don’t - any ideas if VG/PG are actually safe when inhaled?
-
Also looking for ideas on what the safest brand are without known carcinogens etc
-
Different brands seem to have different flavours making it hard to choose, every review website I look at is recommending completely different things from vsavi to v2 to jacvapour to epuffer - I’'m sure there are many more worth considering, any suggestions on a good piece of equipment to start with which with a good variety of flavours?
-
Any suggestions on a VG/PG ratio for someone like me?

Hi @James12344321 and welcome, firstly if you’ve never smoked and have reservations why would you want to start vaping? I can’t speak for everyone on here but I’m sure they have a similar story, personally I vape because I’m an addict (nicotine) I smoked for around 20 years and have been vaping for the last 2 years, in terms of the effects on my health, vaping is preferable to smoking, but for a non-smoker?!?! Sorry I dont get why you’d want to! But I’m guessing you’re an adult and if you want to do it I would suggest you find a flavour you like and go from there. In terms of vg/pg ratios it would depend greatly on the device you choose, surely your friends would be able to guide you a little in terms of what flavour they were using that you enjoyed and the type of device you tried it on. There are so many variants on devices and juices that it is a bit of a mine field and I’m in no way an expert on any of them! Bit like I say if you liked your friends then that might be a good place to start

Firstly, welcome to the forum @James12344321 , secondly, as you’ve probably guessed by @MrMattUK’S reply, vapers generally aren’t on board with someone who wants to vape just for Vaping sake, Vaping is first and foremost a very successful method of giving up smoking, it’s why we do it, it’s why 99.9% of vapers do it, and it’s why we advocate it so much, it saves lives, so for someone to start Vaping who has never smoked before, it raises a few eyebrows. Vaping isnt 100% safe, but its a damn site safer than smoking, 95% safer as it goes, but what you’re doing is giving yourself a 5% chance of making yourself ill when it’s really quite unnecessary.
Nothing is safer than fresh air.
So, it’s hard for Vapers to give advice on something that won’t really help you at all.
If you’re going to insist on taking it up then your best bet is to read what you can, be as safe as you can, and make your own decision on what you learn.
But for my part, I hope you don’t bother

Welcome to the Forum @James12344321 While I agree with my friends I would also say; I don’t know how old you are but I had my 17-year-old nephew staying with me until he got his “shit together”.
Anyway, he wanted me to hook him up with an mtl rig and I said no way hose -A. He said that he wanted to vape because he wanted to smoke… … … … Um, I said. Um, huh? I do have a way with words once in a while and this must of been one of those times.
Basically, he was gonna do one or the other and he would rather vape so I hooked him up. Obviously, if your an adult then you can do what you wish. I am only curious.

A LOT of great posts above, not much that can be added at this point. If (as others stated) you ARE dead set on vaping, AND because you mentioned issues with safety, I would recommend Palm Based VG. Just had to throw that in there.

Welcome @James12344321 and double ditto to all the above replies, it sounds like you have reservations about whether to start vaping or not. I would not recommended it to a non smoker, but if dead set on it, research and educate yourself before making any decisions (way to much info available to put into one post)
