It was a butter flavoring. Diacetyl. There was also a Vit E acetate problem for a short period of time related to bathtub THC vape cart refills, and it was used as a thickener.
From what I understand, most of the hospitalizations in the USA from VALI, were actually from these bathtub THC vapes.
A bunch of people pointed at popcorn lung and diacetyl, which I am not aware of any cases of that additive creating any issues for anyone at any time. Since it could, the industry stopped using it anyways.
Most of the people involved in the social media campaign where VALI patients would hold up a sign that reads something to the effect of starting an anti-vaping thing, are basically all from vit E acetate.
Afaik, that didn’t end up in the news, since they just don’t do follow ups because they’re not sensational enough.
Diacetyl was out of use for a very long time before the VitE acetate thing came up. I want to say there were something like 12 hospitalizations from VitE acetate? Most of them admitted to using THC vape carts, there were like three or four who said they didn’t.
That was weed vapes with vitamin e acetate as a thickener. Not a thing in legit and regulated nicotine vapes.
I think you’re mistaken. It was actually a butter flavoring that caused popcorn lung.
Sounds like bullshit, but it is the truth.

Patients lie.
Bathtub?
Colloquial for “homemade and unregulated,” as in the phrase “bathtub gin.”
I see, thanks.
