Thanks for coming in, antman. We love having you. The vaping illness/deaths is a significant concern in the industry. From what we have been able to gather, the primary concern health officials have is with untested "grey" market vape carts. Many have suggested that residual pesticides in the distillate are the cause. However, no one official has been able to point to a single cause. Vapes are difficult in that some chemical may be considered a non-issue...but then it gets heated...mixes with another heated chemical...and turns into something nasty that no one expected. Currently, carts are being tested at government labs...vaped by machines...with the clouds being filtered and tested for the resulting chemicals. Those chemicals will then be compared to samples taken from the mucus membrane from the lungs of those that have experienced vaping illness. At that juncture, they hope to be able to pinpoint the cause(s) of this phenomenon. Until then, no one knows for certain. To minimize your risk, it is recommended to avoid trap houses and only buy your vapes from state-licensed retailers...that way you know the product has been tested for pesticides and other contaminants that health officials fear may be behind this. To avoid the issue all together...do as you're already doing and stick to flower until this is settled. Stay safe...and stay lit. Thanks for the kind words...and we hope our little bit of info helped. UPDATE - The Center for Disease Control just announced that Vitamin E Acetate was the only substance "universally detected" in all samples associated with vaping illness.
