Vape Pen Lung Disease Deaths: What Exactly Is Vitamin E Oil?
An unprecedented outbreak of vaping-associated pulmonary injury (VAPI) has sickened up to 450 people and killed as many as six in 33 states.
A current suspect in the outbreak is vitamin E acetate, sometimes used as a vape cartridge additive. It’s a popular new diluent thickener found mostly in illicit market THC vape carts. What is vitamin E oil and what makes it dangerous? We explore below.
Vitamin E Oil Has 8 Forms
Eight main types of tocopherol exist, from alpha-tocopherol all the way through gamma-tocopherol.
“The most relevant vitamin E compound is alpha-tocopherol since it is the most abundant and potent of the group,” said Vu Lam, an official with Anresco Laboratories in San Francisco.
“The main difference between naturally occurring vitamin E and synthetic vitamin E is the presence of stereoisomers,” Lam explained. “Naturally occurring vitamin E will only contain the D-isomer (i.e. D-alpha-tocopherol). Synthetic vitamin E will typically be a mix of the D- and L–isomers (DL-alpha-tocopherol).”

Sure a box with a hose on it is not esp. attractive nor cool nor hip but who cares if it does the job and saves your lungs?
Dump that vape pen and get back to basics!
