According to this article, glycerin produces acrolein when heated.
Acrolein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So is VG even more of a risk than PG?

VG produces Acrolein when the VG is heated to 280 °C ..... From what I have read the atomizer does not run at a high enough temperature to convert VG into acrolein
my RN atomizer coils get red.... i think that is way more than 280C

I have just been looking up the Wikipidea article that this thread relates to and have only just realised that it is talking about glycer 'OL' turning into acrolyn at high temperatures .......we are using glycer 'INE'......and as far as I can tell it is completely different and certainly doesn't turn into acrolyn.
Unfortunately I have also now studied the ingredients list on my bottle of TW liquid and it does say that it is made of 20% glycer 'OL' ...so I guess it is something to worry about.
glycerol and glycerine is the same thing with a different name.
Glycerol - Wikipedia, Glycerol .....second line.
So that's a yes then?
If that's the case then are there any safe vapors?
