Rule of thumb is to not trust any vape you didn't buy at a legal dispensary.

Fake packaging, and even prefilled fakes can be purchased in bulk online.

You only get one set of lungs. The mediocre high you might get isn't worth the potential long term damage.

If you can source clean concentrate, you can learn to fill your own with a few basic items. Much safer than BM carts.

/r/fakecartridges on reddit has a lot more info, I'm not sure what the lemmy equivalent is.

Unfortunately legal isn't really an option in my country 🤣 you can't just go and buy these things.

My lungs sure do feel tight after just one toke.

It does look refillable but I have no idea where I'd get anything to fill it in the UK.

That's why I'm using random unknown vapes from a friend.

It came from your friend, and try it to see if it's any good.

What does it matter if it came from a friend?

I have an otherwise intelligent friend, well educated and runs many successful businesses. Casually during a conversation, he pulls put a fryd vape and starts smoking it. I educated him on the potential risks.

He was completely oblivious to the risks. The veneer provided by legit looking packaging, websites, store fronts lure the consumer into a false sense of security.

These gray market vapes contain boof juice that's has zero form of regulation on what you're inhaling into your lungs.

Legal dispensaries require very strict tracking, testing, regulation, enforcement.

I think a manufacturer that shady wouldn't hesitate to use somebody else's logo.
