I would ask whoever told you not to what their reason is for saying that.

Hi

Some reading material,

Whether you accept the risk and act accordingly is your choice.

Enriched oxygen with a purity of 90% plus will intensify a fire beyond your control very quickly.

Brilliant stone. What would we do without you.

Thankyou.

I thought to myself why would anyone even do it.

Thank you for that,itwas very interesting. It says you should not use your oxygen near any charger. I have 5 chargers around, phone,oxygen,e-cigs, tablet and kindle.

My e-cigs stay cold when in use.

Hi

The risk is well known with charges, they can and have set on fire.

Where as the product comes under some legislation, for some reason this those not apply to the charger and batteries.

Which is well known for being the biggest risk factor.

At the end of the day common sense rules

Your oxygen provider would have given you a manual explaining the use and risk, with regular news letter updates, which did include e-cigs, if you are with Air Liquide.

Becaues of the batteries as when you press the button you are useing a heat plate it will be like useing it by a elect stove .and there is a lot off batters out there which are not that safe

I must admit I never hear of that the only thing is with E ciggies is not enough known about them or the effects

I can only say that both my doctor and nurse are fine with me using them. I think there is a question around the flavoured liquid used in vapes but I believe that is already under investigation.

my husband had one but he travels all over the world and after being on a flight he found it damaged not sure if was the pressure in the aircraft.

If it helps you quit cigarettes its a bonus

Easier to stop don't you think? E cigs are more trouble than they are worth.
