Disposable v**es are often marketed as a “safer” choice, however new research tells a different story.

A study from the University of California, Davis (published in ACS Central Science) tested seven popular disposable v**e brands and found alarming levels of toxic metals like lead, nickel, and antimony.

⚠️ Four devices exceeded safety limits for lead and nickel, both linked to brain and lung damage
