An estimated 50 million people are now vaping worldwide with thousands more joining their ranks every day. In the US alone that number is nearly 10 million. Despite the fact that vaping is not smoking, that flavored ejuice that contains no nicotine is not a “tobacco product” and that there is no scientific evidence linking vaporizers to the kind of health issues caused by cigarettes, the media in the US continues to use the words “vaping” and “smoking” interchangeably and rail against phantom health concerns that have no basis in fact. On the other side of the Atlantic, however, things are very different.

Contrary to what you’ll hear in the media studies show vaping poses virtually no significant long-term health threat. In fact, the UK’s National Health Service recommends people take up vaping as a way to quit smoking. In addition, the CDC’s own data contradicts reports that e-cigs are a gateway to smoking for young people. Still, too much of anything is usually not a great thing so we were wondering: is there such a thing as too much vaping? In this article, those of us at your friendly neighborhood vape shop in Parker will answer the question.

Since it first reached our shores in 2007, vaping has helped countless smokers free themselves from their addiction and provided millions of others, who 20 or 30 years ago may have taken up smoking, with a viable alternative that won’t lead to a gruesome, premature death. For those reasons and more you would think public health officials would be singing the praises of vaping. Instead, they have aligned themselves firmly with the anti-smoking lobby and propagated numerous myths that have muddied the waters and unjustly stigmatized vapers. In this article, the team at The Smoking Buddha vape shop in Parker take on some of the most egregious myths being promoted about vaping.

It’s fair to say that the majority of people under age 50 know what a bong is. In fact, most of them probably have personal experience with a bong, either as a regular thing or something they tried at a party once or twice. But it’s also fair to say that most of those people have no idea what desktop vaporizers are, and the questions that we get from customers in our Parker vape shop confirm this.

What we find maybe most surprising is the number of people who are under the impression that “desktop vape” is just a 21st-century term for “bong”. But the two devices are actually quite different. In this post, we’re going to take a close look at the difference between bongs and desktop vaporizers.
