[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 723887, member: 1963"] That's a basic, inexpensive, SAFE, vaping setup (and a good one!). The glass bit is part of the "tank" that holds e-juice. Not to worry. He isn't vaping weed. The ONLY type of "weed" he could vape with that setup is e-juice containing actual THC, not marijuana itself. THC e-juice is prohibitively expensive. While I hate that he's started vaping as in his case he's probably working on a nicotine addiction, too. It's still healthier than smoking tobacco. The part that actually heats up and vaporizes the e-juice is called a "coil". On a unit like your son has, the coil fits into the tank and the box below it which contains the battery and controls. That type of coil has to be replaced frequently as they gum up. On a "drip" unit, there is no tank, and the user drips e-liquid directly on the open coil(s) a drop or few at a time. Those coils are often "rebuildable", which means the wicks and wire wrapping can be replaced. (some vapers make a hobby out of this sort of thing, if not a fetish.) Be aware that the more advanced units with replaceable batteries, and/or homebuilt units, can be dangerous. This is where the exploding e-cigarettes you hear about happen. It is almost always due to user-error in the construction process and basically involves a short circuit and battery leakage due to overheating. (leaky batteries, when overheated, release hydrogen) The unit your son has has a built in battery (like the units I use) and is perfectly safe. NO rechargeable device that uses lithium batteries (including your phone) should be left unattended while charging. [/QUOTE]
