Daily Mail running 2 stories on E-Cigs

[andymac]

The Daily Mail have published 2 articles side-by-side on their internet page One concerning a guy in Germany having his teeth blown out when an e-cig explodes in his face and the other warning of the dangers of cherry flavour juice.

I like to live on the edge. I used to smoke, but was absolutely thrilled to find a far more dangerous alternative. If, in the near future, something else is available that's even more dangerous than "e-cigarettes" I'll switch to that.
In the mean time, stories like these give me the confidence to carry on with the e-cigarettes.

ps. anybody know where I can buy benazaldehyde? I'd love to add some to my DIY juices to make them even more risky.

Safety
For a 70-kg human, the lethal dose is estimated at 50 mL.[7] Benzaldehyde has been classified as a hazardous substance by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.[15]

Benzaldehyde is used as a flavoring and fragrance in food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and soap and is "generally regarded as safe" (GRAS) by the US FDA.[16] This status was reaffirmed after a review in 2005.[10] It is accepted in the European Union as a flavoring agent.[12] Toxicology studies indicate that it is safe and non-carcinogenic in the concentrations used for foods and cosmetics.[12] It may have carcinostatic (anti-cancer) properties.[12]

Benzaldehyde does not accumulate in any specific tissues.[12] It is metabolized and then excreted in urine.[12]

And tastes like Canteloupe and may have aphrodisiac properties. It makes you run faster too

I like to take a risk too , that's why I've taken to bungee jumping with just an elastic band round my gentleman parts whilst vaping cherry flavoured juice...
