So guys, when I started vaping a month ago I read that PG breaks into Formaldehyd (cancerous) above 120 degrees Celsius, so I migrated to 100% VG. Two days ago I bumped into another thread here stating VG breaks into Acrolein (also highly cancerous) above 280 degrees Celsius.
Now, some people say the temperature of a glowing atty coil is 450+ degrees Celsius, others say 60 degrees Celsius even though a drop of VG does not evaporate on a frying pan at 60 degrees (??). Anyway, it's a naked wire that heats the hell out of the juice anyway.
Others say the coil is like 'water cooled' since there's liquid around it and that's why temperatures reach no more than 150 degrees Celsius (safe to vape VG, quesionable for PG is how a newb like me translates this).
Now, I vape 100% VG on a single-coil 2.5Ω and that's like the coldest I can get on my airy protank without losing flavour, but I'm still woried about these chemicals. I used to enjoy vaping as a healthy alternative, now it seems like it's not so healthy and that sucks because I find myself reaching for analogs...
I read all related threads in this and other forums and still can't find the answer - how hot really does the juice get when vaporised by the coil. Thanks for the help.
