     WORK?

TAKE A LOOK INSIDE

Move the slider to see the parts that make a vape work, and how those parts can be toxic.

Cartridge
Vape cartridges hold the vape juice, or e-liquid. Vape juice contains more than a dozen or more chemical compounds, and many are known to be toxic.

CHEMICAL REACTIONS

When you vape, the heated e-juice turns into a vapour. Scroll to see the new chemicals that are created.

Toxic Reactions

As vape juice is heated, the ingredients go through a chemical transformation, creating many new chemical compounds that aren’t found in the e-juice itself.

What You Can't See

Acetone, Acrolein, Butanal. In Canada there is now a law requiring companies to test the new chemicals that are produced when vape juice is heated for safety.

Dangerous Fumes

The end result? You don’t know what you’re inhaling. Vapour is FULL of dangerous chemical byproducts, like formaldehyde, acetone, and butanal.

IT ALL GETS INHALED

When heated, the propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin in vape juice creates toxic chemicals, like acetaldehyde, which can cause serious health effects, like cancer.
