Basically yeah, it's cheaper to use chemicals other than what's approved to make a chemical vape. We were seeing a bit of an endemic of kids being hospitalised because of them.

It's worth keeping in mind these vapes were coming from the same place where even baby formula wasn't off limits to substitute dangerous chemicals into to save a buck.
