More details to this question:
I bought a vape pen chamber from a local store and when I went to use it, it was smoking and burning something plastic when I inhaled the vape pen I inhaled toxic smoke. I ask because I may have irreversible lung damage.

If the product was defective, and if you DO have an injury, then you can sue.

Possibly. I just looked up "vape pen" on the 'net, never having heard of it before, and it appears that if you were using the device in the manner intended and it malfunctioned causing you injury, then you should have a cause of action against the manufacturer for selling you a defective product. But: these cases are not easy. They are expensive, difficult and time-consuming. You state that you "may" have irreversable lung damage. You can't go into court on a "maybe", you need proof.
