UK E-cig study lab results.

[Kaston]

Results are in! E-juice is safer than analog smoke!

Thanks to Trumpy Bloke for combing over the study. Here is his summarization:

• it is confirmation that compared to regular cigarettes e-smoking is far safer
• it confirms the ingredients apart from nicotine are classified as unknown or harmless
• it does however suggest PG be replaced by glycerol for maximum safety
• it is actually 4 different studies on the 4 different Gamucci liquids
• The Lab specifically mentions it is a "much safer alternative" and the unknowns are flavorings in very small amounts

From the actual study:

"On balance, the Gamucci Ltd ‘Regular’ nicotine solution appears to offer a much safer alternative to
the traditional cigarette.

Using this nicotine solution, the artificial smoke generated by the Electronic Cigarette does not appear
to contain the toxic cocktail of toxic carcinogenic compounds found in traditional tobacco smoke.
Some 600+ chemicals have been identified in traditional tobacco smoke, of which many are
carcinogenic.

The primary aerosol forming solvent (Propylene Glycol) used in the preparation of the nicotine
solution is listed as a suspected respiratory toxicant. should look at changing the aerosol forming
solvent from the suspected respiratory toxicant ‘Propylene Glycol’, to an even safer solvent such as
Glycerol."

That's a toxicology report from the same lab as tested the Wicked eliquid. It says much the same thing.

This e-smoker will stick with PG-based liquids. More study. More potential benefits. Glycerol is fine, and probably safe, but I prefer the decades of PG studies. With H1N1 .. I want my PG.

The more tests with the same results just make our claim stronger.

Yes, that's right, thanks for posting it Kaston.

It's a pity it's Gamucci and not one of the more popular brands that was tested. They'll all have to have this done eventually I hope.

NP my google reader spider found it.

I am guessing it will end up like most businesses that go corporate, a few big dogs and the rest ran out of business =(

Do you have a source for this "UK E-cig study lab report"?

That's another press release we put out . Great news huh guys?

Gamucci provided us the research first hand so we distributed it in a NATION WIDE PRESS and now we have more EVIDENCE to PROVE that this is SAFER than cigarettes. Keep up the TEAMWORK guys. We will win this if we all pitch in. We owe it all to Gamucci for providing us the research documents, the lab study is NOT a cheap one I can tell you that much. There is now only 2 real studies in existence and this one covers all cartridge strengths that they produce.

In all fairness, this is another good move in the right direction so well done to Gamucci for following the lead of others.

But remember this is still a far cry from clinical trials.... all this report really confirms to me is that the ingredients stated as being in their bottles of liquid are correct pertaining to the specific batch they sent to the lab for testing.

This report is an identical copy of the TW report which as positive as it may seem, still does not confirm that the repeated daily use of a 'suspected respiratory toxicant' is not without harm.

The confirmation by LPD laboratory services that their liquid 'appears to offer a much safer alternative to the traditional cigarette.' is however vaguely comforting.
