I have found a few of these little plastic things scattered around my 15 year old sons room, and was wondering what they are?

What are these kids vaping? Youngins always collapse their lungs.

Anytime vaping and serious lung issues are mentioned (hole in lung, popcorn lung, collapsed lung, etc) it's generally safe to assume it's a black market THC cartridge that has been cut with vitamin E acetate to make it thicker. Teens usually admit to vaping after getting sent to the hospital, but they don't admit to what they were vaping because they are concerned with getting into more trouble. 

The evidence would suggest those issues are incredibly rare from normal nicotine vapes (whether salt nicotine or free base).
