If the Vitamin A Acetate were in a Juul pod, you'd be just as dead. I'm not particularly interested in the mechanics of Juul pods that stop this particular chemical from being used - it probably isn't going to be the only chemical we thought was safe and turns out to be deadly in this new context. Vaping is, in fact, dangerous, and framing it as distinct and safer is, in my view, the misinformation.

Juuls use a silica wick which, while possible to absorb something as thick as Vit A the vaporization process would happen too quickly for the pod to perform properly. You'd have to wait 10+ minutes between puffs and the vapor production would suffer greatly. You would immediately know something was wrong.

Concentrate cartridges use a ceramic stone with a heating element inside or encased. This ceramic greatly reduces the flow rate and allows slower vaporization of the concentrate.

I ran a vape shop for years I am more than happy to discuss safety of vaping but won't participate in whataboutism.

Having given the matter more thought, I do believe I spoke out of turn.

What if you let me choose the risks I take? I'm not hurting you by doing so (no matter if you agree, disagree or if, like most moral crusaders, you are literally unable to comprehend someone making choices different than your own), so what's the problem?

But how can you convince others of this view if you're "not particularly interested" in the relevant facts?
