You need to read what you quoted more literally to see how they're attempting to mislead with that statement.

Yeah.... I did a search for 'historical smoking attributed deaths' - not easy.... but in a few different sources I saw (recalling) 1980 - 1984 @216,000 smoking related deaths. 1995 is when the 480,000 number came up and they're basically still using that, despite the fact that adult smoking has dropped precipitately since. They like to take credit for the drop from @23% to now 15% but that has happened since the advent/boom of ecigs mainly(and it had leveled off just before that). We know NRT's didn't budge that stat, except for perhaps the suicides from Chantix.... which we're likely counted as part of the stat :facepalm:

The media scare headlines are rolling in. War is being waged on us from Government, tobacco Control and other Public Health, and others, not the least of which is the media. Here's a particularly bad article:

Experts: E-cigarettes contain dangerous chemicals
http://kron4.com/2015/09/02/experts-e-cigarettes-contain-dangerous-chemicals/
Experts said the levels of dangerous chemicals is shocking.
But what is in them could kill you.
“Our study showed high levels of formal and acid,”
lol ... Author went off looking how to spell 'aldehyde' and forgot to finish upon return.
KRON4 reached out to a consumer group advocating e-cigs. They said the study had no basis.
lol
Great journalism!

    Probably either the author didn't check his final before submitting it, or the editor didn't do his or her job.. I'm sure there was an electronic version of the article and the spellchecker routine (if one was even used) didn't put a red underline under (or whatever) the word because 'formal' is a 'normal' word.. Besides, even potentially fatal chemicals have to be formal sometimes.. :lol:

    There's a reason pharma always used nebulizers or pressurized containers to dispense their stuff-to-be-inhaled.
    why add the cost of electronics? it would cut into the profit margin
    and triple the cost per unit getting the battery approved for use
    in a medical device.
    having to prove battery vapor is safe to inhale would cost bu-ku
    jingwat.:D

    The real reason is that since the substances inside the pressurized container will not get heated at 200 Celsius while dispensed, what you have inside the container is exactly what you'll get out of it.

    the coils may reach 200 C but,the liquid in an e-cig starts vaporizing at about 84.4 C when the residual
    water starts vaporizing atomizing the base mix into an aerosol.optimal vapor production is at about
    90 C.
    this is beside the point as theoretically they could have used ultrasonic methods too.
    its still a cost thing.

    It is a scam to make money by suing companies selling in California who don't have the warning. Adding the warning solves the problem...

    It's a scam anyway you slice it

    Also helps explain how labels could be a bad idea for industry

    And helps explain how labels for other products could be based entirely on lies

    I think it helps to know that rats and antz are in bed together. Making sweet pseudo love with each other.
    Know how many rats and antz's it takes to screw in a light bulb? Well, only 1 of each, but it's tough to squeeze them both in there.. :rolleyes:

    You'd be surprised at how hot the coils get, even when the wicks are saturated.

    One of our mods got his hands on a Fluke Ti-20 and did some testing on a Cyclone dripper.

    - 2 ohm coil, two activations, 243C and 261C
    - 1.1 ohm coil, two activations, 230C and 246C
    - 0.6 ohm coil, two activations, 240C and 268C

    That's with a wet wick. Dry burn?

    - 2 ohm coil reached 360C in around 2 seconds
    - 1.1 ohm coil reached 360C in less than a second
    - 0.6 ohm coil reached 360C almost instantaneously

    360C was the max temp range of the device.
