A recent video that surfaced online has left many people shocked after revealing how vapes are tested in a factory in Shenzhen, China. The video, posted by YouTuber Machina, showcases the quality control process in which factory workers take a puff from each individual vape before sending it out for sale. One worker mentioned that on a regular day, he tests between 7,000 and 8,000 vapes, but this number can rise to about 10,000 on busier days.
The revelation that every vape is tested by being puffed on by a human mouth has disturbed many viewers. Some were astonished to learn that the devices they use had already been in contact with someone else’s mouth. Others expressed concern for the health of the workers, given that vaping, while often marketed as a safer alternative to smoking, still poses health risks. The worker also admitted to vaping during his free time, raising further concerns about the potential health implications.

Viewers expressed their discomfort with the process, with one commenter noting that they “actually feel sorry for that kid testing all the vapes,” highlighting the potential health hazards of taking thousands of puffs every day. While vaping may be less harmful than smoking, it is not without risks, and excessive vaping has led some individuals to be hospitalized.
The video has sparked discussions about the vaping industry and the conditions under which these products are manufactured and tested. As more people become aware of the quality control practices in vape production, the conversation around the safety and ethics of vaping continues to evolve.
