Bootleg marijuana vapes produce vapor tainted with formaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide, tests show
A CDC spokeswoman confirmed to NBC News that it has not yet tested the aerosol emissions from vaping devices but plans to do so in “the next couple of weeks.” Karen Hunter said CDC researchers have focused on analyzing the lung fluid from patients stricken with vaping-related illnesses.
"It's a great idea to test the vapors," Pirzada said."That tells you exactly what people are inhaling."NBC News commissioned the lab to analyze THC oils CannaSafe tested the vapor from two counterfeit THC oil cartridges, knock-offs of the brands Kingpen and STIIIZY, revealing the presence of significant levels of carbon monoxide and formaldehyde. The vapor from the counterfeit Kingpen cartridge was also found to contain hydrogen cyanide.
"We found actually five times the amount of the legal concentration of lead in the Maui Waui [oil]," Frasier said."Most likely that's the hardware leaching back into it over time. I'm sure that's why these numbers are so gross because the hardware isn't controlled."
