another thing to mention, with thc/cdb vaping, getting cartridges off the street is so dangerous because they are more likely to be not just watered down but full of chemicals and sometimes even laced. so if you are in a state where thc is illegal, or too young, buying it off the street is a huge huge risk many may not realize. this is the same with buying juul pods or nicotine vape cartridges off the street when you are underage. its all so dangerous.
((of course vaping is a good way to help quit smoking for people who were already cigarette addicted, but now with all the chemicals being put into it... im not so sure! ))

all in all, i think there should be MUCH more regulation on these.

anyone else have any thoughts?

The reason 1 juul pod has more nicotine than a pack of ciggarettes is because a single juul pod lasts for about a week. When I was smoking I when through a pack every 5 days. How much nicotine is relative to how long the pod lasts. Not to mention the issue with people dying is from Vitamin E Acetate. This is not found in commercial Vape juice. It is only found in black market stuff. Also I agree that there needs to be regulation, but, and this is a big but, banning flavors is not the answer. That will just push people to buy on the black market.
