    More details of the study. [url. nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc1413069 Here we present results of an analysis of commercial e-liquid vaporized with the use of a “tank system” e-cigarette featuring a variable-voltage battery. The aerosolized liquid was collected in an NMR spectroscopy tube (10...

    Brace yourselves new Formaldehype junk study to be released Jan 21

    Dr F :laugh: claims the study was made using overheated ecig.I don't see how he came to that conclusion . Seems there is lot of posturing done by people who knows very little about science.

    Brace yourselves new Formaldehype junk study to be released Jan 21

    Not having read what kind of junk the study was supposed to be but got curious enough to google the odor threshold limit. Got several hits suggesting 0.8 ppm is not accurate. Identifying an indoor air exposure limit for formaldehyde considering both irritation and cancer hazards There are...

    113.74 mcg/10ml is 0.0113 mg/ml which is 0.011 ppm and not alarming.It is the same as the limit for arsenic set for drinking water. It is not necessary that vape temperatures be higher to transfer solids.A considerable amount of Solid transfer, mostly occurs via carry over of mist(The vapor...

    the lesser of 2 evils

    If one can do with just a couple of cigarettes (per day) one can skip the complicated and laborious ehookahs :laugh: Studies show inhaled PG can cause Nose bleeds and it has nothing to do with sensitivity on skin .

    the lesser of 2 evils

    To the Op, If nose bleeds happen then the culprit is PG.If you want to give another try the eliquid should be made up with mostly Vg.I would go with following ratio. vg 75 pg 10 water 15 nicotine 12 mg and/or 18 mg. vaporgod has ready made mixes for that ratio. Link

    questions about weird chest pains.

    It is be possible to use higher vg quantites by setting water content at around 15% .

    So is VG only bad for your health or what?

    I read the article in detail and some more(Because the linked organisation represents primarily chemical industry business aspects). Formaldehyde content in ecig vapor is considerably less than in regular cigarettes. I was responding to your assertion and cheeky comment (reproduced below)...

    So is VG only bad for your health or what?

    It is not the same.Formaledyde in lungs is problematic(If indeed ecig vapor has appreciable formaldyde formation). One wouldn't make a leap that stomach has acid (Hcl) and hence it is ok to have it in lungs or blood.

    Another Clueless Journalist

    Ofcourse there are No studies that can pass scientific scrutiny. There are a couple of incompetent people who made some half baked studies proving nothing other than repeating what we already know or make some ridiculous conclusions blissfully unaware of their incompetence.

    So is VG only bad for your health or what?

    Acrolein formation from Vg becomes important when the ecig coil runs dry causing higher temperatures.

    So is VG only bad for your health or what?

    Propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine (Glycerol) are NOT toxic per se .Propylene glycol's deleterious effect on lung and nasal tissue was documented .It dries lung tissue and causes inflammation. vegetable glycerin causes much less lung(and nasal) tissue irritation but It serves as nutrient...

    Oral Probiotics and Propylene Glycol (PG)

    Guess I was not paying much attention. It seems one particular oral probiotic strain is not effected by PG (1-2 propane diol) as per this . It may be prudent to stop vaping at least 15 minutes during usage of lozenge to allow the bacteria to take root ;) .

    Oral Probiotics and Propylene Glycol (PG)

    PG microbiocidal action is limited to Air, for all practical purposes. It is unlikely to cause any killing of bacteria in your gut(Where the probiotics are intended to work).

    Irritated sinuses.

    And Pure Vg (without PG) has the potential to cause infections as it feeds the bacteria.A balance of PG and Vg could be suitable for most people.
