Since it has been reported that vaping has been, for many, an escape route from conventional smoking, questions yet arise regarding how to stay safe after delving into the alternative world of e-cigarettes.
Some brands actually claim to make products that are safe to vape and are actually conscientious enough to reveal the ingredients used but there are also issues of safety measures during the pod production process, such as excessive heating and battery blowout.
