Fruit squirts? That sounds like a horrible form of diarrhea. Basically, when this showed up on /r/science it was called bullshit due to the levels of diacetyl in the e juice. I've never seen the term 'popcorn lung' used seriously more than in that thread. I'm still skeptical about these things. You're doing something that's pretty far outside what the delicate tissue in your lungs was meant to do. And we didn't know about the dangers of cigarettes until people started getting sick. In 20-30 years we'll know how safe e cigs are and I won't listen to anyone who says they're 100% safe until we get real world epidemiological data.
