      Lots of good comments/ questions on this tweet- so let’s discuss. “Addiction” is dependent on the person, the environment, the substance/delivery &other factors. Most experts feel it includes varying degrees of dependence, intoxication, tolerance, withdrawal, and reinforcement.

      Many folks focus on “harm” as a defining component of addiction, but addiction in not only about harm. Here is @ASAMorg definition. https://www.asam.org/resources/definition-of-addiction …

      When people speak of the addictive properties of nicotine, much of the focus is on dependence- and a large number of addiction experts feel and consistently state nicotine is one of if not the most dependence creating substance.

      People also question the relative harm of nicotine to other substances. I don’t think it’s a good idea to compare harm. Someone’s loved on dying of smoking or their kid unable to focus in school because of e cig dependence, or their loved one overdosing are all “harm” to someone.

      You say, "I don’t think it’s a good idea to compare harm." In that same vein, is it then fair to compare the addictiveness of different things? Where do we draw the line?

      Is a person dying from an exploding e cig, any better or Worse than lung cancer, or a heroin OD? That’s not for me to say. But it is worth helping young people who are using e cigs and think they can’t become dependent, know they are getting very high doses of nicotine.

          Q. Let's address that here for a moment. First, it needs to be clear that it was a mech mod and not a regulated one that has safeguards to prevent an overload. It's basically a battery out set of them in a tube with the vaporizer attached to the top. There are a few reasons...

          2. that could have caused the overload and venting of the bat. 1-not following Ohm's Law building the coils 2-the bat. could be old or in poor condition 3-the bat. was put in backwards Any of these things could cause venting or explosion. No one should use a mech w/o training
