Yes, that's the kind of vapes I had in mind, not this artificial peachy nonsense, let alone tobacco liquids <shudder>. Though not necessarily "old-school": my vaporizer is a pretty modern and "cool" (literally!) high tech tool. I can afford such luxuries since I don't have to maintain a stinky car.
But even then I'm far from recommending or white washing the risks, hell no! And definitely would prohibit it for younger people below 18. It's said to hamper your brain growth. You definitely don't want to end like me, young boy (if you are listening. It's an old fart '68 thingy, so don't be silly). The way I'm consuming is also somewhat unusual, but works for me: starts with about 3 weeks on full high all day long [1] followed by about 7 weeks of total abstinence, which has a plethora of advantages compared to regular consuming. One of it being a safety guard against addictions (the rest would be too much out of topic). Works for all sorts of addictions btw, even for playing ED...
[1] Yes, that's my weak spot, I can easily switch habits on and off but have a hard time when it comes to moderation. That was actually the main insight and incentive to stop smoking. Not that I was ill at this point - even after more than 30 years of chain smoking (70-100 cigs a day at the time when I stopped) but my wits told me that my lack of temperance will kill me on the long run.
That said, I've currently doubled the abstinence phase due to my eye surgery and I'm still sober like a tibetan monk right now. No issues whatsoever. I feel great!
Btw, always gives me a warm feel when meeting people who are thinking out of the box (without being downright daft, that is).
