Debunking Myths About Vaping: Separating Fact from Fiction

Julia Roberts

If you’ve been on the internet lately, you’ve probably heard all sorts of wild claims about vaping. From “it’s worse than smoking” to “vapes contain antifreeze” (yes, people actually believe this 😳), misinformation is everywhere. So, let’s get real and separate the facts from the fiction—especially when it comes to GeekBar Vapes and their fire flavors like Berry Bomb, Lemon Heads, and Strawberry Banana.

Myth #1: Vaping Is Just as Bad as Smoking 🚬❌

Fact: Nope. While vaping isn’t completely risk-free, it’s nowhere near as harmful as traditional cigarettes. According to major health organizations like Public Health England, vaping is estimated to be 95% less harmful than smoking. Unlike cigarettes, which burn tobacco and release thousands of chemicals (many of them toxic), GeekBar Vapes and other disposables don’t produce tar or carbon monoxide—the two biggest villains in smoking-related diseases. Plus, vapers typically inhale fewer harmful substances, making it a better alternative for those looking to cut down or quit smoking.

Myth #2: Vapes Contain Antifreeze 🧊😱

Fact: This myth comes from a misunderstanding about propylene glycol (PG), a common ingredient in vape juice. PG is also used in food and medicine—not just antifreeze. The key difference? The type used in vaping is safe for inhalation, while toxic antifreeze contains ethylene glycol, which is completely different. So no, your GeekBar flavors are not secretly packing antifreeze. In fact, PG is commonly found in asthma inhalers, which are designed for lung absorption. If it were dangerous, doctors wouldn’t be prescribing it to people with respiratory conditions.

Myth #3: Vaping Causes Popcorn Lung 🍿💨

Fact: Popcorn lung (bronchiolitis obliterans) is linked to diacetyl, a chemical that was once found in microwave popcorn flavoring. While some early e-liquids did contain diacetyl, modern vapes, including GeekBar Vapes, do not. Studies show that cigarettes contain way more diacetyl than any vape ever did, yet no one ever blamed smoking for popcorn lung. Plus, the levels of diacetyl found in vape products (before being removed) were hundreds of times lower than what factory workers were exposed to when they developed the disease.

Myth #4: Vaping Gets You High 🤯

Fact: Unless your vape contains THC, no, it won’t get you high. Nicotine vapes like GeekBar Pulse Strawberry Banana 15000 Puffs or GeekBar Pulse Peppermintz 15000 Puffs are designed to provide a smooth, flavorful nicotine experience—not a psychoactive trip. Nicotine is a stimulant, much like caffeine, but it doesn’t cause hallucinations or impairment. If someone claims they got high from a nicotine vape, they probably just took too big of a hit and experienced a nicotine rush, which can cause dizziness or a head buzz.

Myth #5: Vaping Is Just Water Vapor 💦

Fact: Vapes don’t just release “water vapor.” They produce an aerosol containing nicotine, flavorings, and base liquids (PG/VG). However, the levels of toxic chemicals in vape aerosol are significantly lower than in cigarette smoke. So while it’s not just harmless water, it’s also not the toxic cloud some people make it out to be. The difference between vape aerosol and cigarette smoke is like comparing flavored mist to a burning bonfire—one is much cleaner than the other.

Myth #6: Flavored Vapes Are Just for Kids 🍭🚸

Fact: Let’s be real—adults enjoy flavors too. The idea that only kids like fruity or dessert-inspired flavors is ridiculous. Grown-ups love their GeekBar Berry Bomb DigiFlavor LUSH 20K or Day Walker Digiflavor BRK 20000 Puffs just as much as they love their morning coffee. In fact, flavors are what help many adult smokers successfully switch from cigarettes. Studies have shown that flavored vapes increase the success rate of quitting smoking since they make the transition smoother and more enjoyable.

Myth #7: Vaping Has No Impact on Quitting Smoking 🚭✅

Fact: Vaping is one of the most effective tools for quitting cigarettes. Studies show that vapers are twice as likely to quit smoking compared to those using nicotine patches or gum. The key? Finding a satisfying vape—like a GeekBar Pulse X 25K Puffs Lemon Heads—that keeps cravings at bay. The ritual of inhaling and exhaling vapor, combined with the right nicotine strength and flavor, makes the switch much easier for former smokers.
