Yeah, but maybe avoid the black market weed carts. EVALI was caused by black market weed carts using vitamin E acetate (which isn't going to be in nicotine juice because nicotine plays nicely with vegetable glycerine and propylene glycol, THC doesn't) - the feds busted the manufacturer shortly after people started getting sick and I haven't heard about EVALI since then, so presumably nobody else is trying it at the moment, but the lack of widespread reporting about it being from black market weed carts is frankly criminal.

And still boomers in the government went after legally obtainable nicotine vapes, instead of doing anything for the fact it was black market THC vapes.

In States where it's illegal, it's still illegal. In States where it's legal, they could have cracked down on it.

And in my home state of California, they banned flavored vapes for "marketing to children" but didn't touch flavored alcohol or anything similar.

Or avoid carts completely and get a dry herb vape. Then just add your flower, and it heats it to vaporizing temperature without combusting, no added chemicals at all.

Lots of options but I'd recommend an xmax v3 pro as a good starter one, usually under 100 Usd.

I too went dry herb for a long time, even have a Mighty+ that I really enjoyed, the thing about the pens though... Much less smell, much more stealthy, and one cart can last very long in comparison to dry herb.

In a non-legal state, pen is just safer imo

But yes, stay away from black market as much as you can
