Don’t Vape THC Oil!

Dank Vapes are getting lots of press at the moment. Unfortunately for the industry, not for great reasons. As a result, this is causing backlash to the vaping industry as a whole. However, vaping and Dank Vapes are very different. You may have read headlines such as “Illicit cannabis vaping products could be behind US deaths.”

What is Dank Vapes?

Dank Vapes is a mysterious black market brand selling THC oil cartridges for people to vape. You may know that THC comes from the cannabis plant and has psychoactive effects. This THC oil contains vitamin E acetate, which is a thickening agent. The effect of this thickening agent on the lungs is unclear but is said to create pneumonia-like symptoms. The US Food and Drug Administration has suggested that people stop vaping THC oils immediately. 

The illegal cartridges brought on the black market contain a distilled oil from the cannabis plant. However, sellers can also add other ingredients to make their supply last longer. These additional items could well be dangerous to health. There have been a number of cases of the lung illness and even deaths which relate to vaping Dank Vapes and other illegal THC cartridges. 

One study interviewed 53 patients, of which 80% said they had used a cannabis vape product in the last 3 months prior to their symptoms.
