    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    Correct, though you can control 4 of the variables, to some extent. Power applied, length of puff, speed of airflow, viscosity of the liquid(I'd include in this the vape style, you know, the classic ce4 twist and twirl).

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    I'm thinking of it this way, wire mass(which itself is a combination of gauge, length, and to some extent configuration) is one of the variables that contributes to temperature, probably the most important. Wire mass, power applied, liquid availability, airflow, chamber size all play a part. The...

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    In a tc mod, that 500 is the calculated temperature of the wire, right? When you set it to 500 are you actually hitting 500 or are the other limits, i.e. power available, keeping you below that. If you are hitting 500 at the coil, do we know that the liquid itself is reaching 500, or does it...

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    This would seem to contradict multiple previous studies that only showed spikes from CE4's above a certain power level. I agree that a CE4 is much more likely to spike beyond safe levels, due to the small chamber, poor wicking of a top coil design, and the extremely thin wire. What that doesn't...

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    Have you ever cooked anything on a stove? Do you know the exact temperature of the pan when you set the flame to medium? There are other forms of measurement. You're treating this like a vape is different every time you pick it up. If you dial in a good vape on a particular coil, and you're...

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    For it to be truly useful it would also need a range of airflow and chamber size variables too. Just to give an example, a 1 ohm 28g K 2mm inner diameter coil will vape very differently in the chamber of a kayfun than it will on the deck of 24mm RDA with 6 1mm air holes open, or with 2 of the 6...

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    This is only my opinion of course, but I think you and your wife are fine. I have no doubt in my mind that by now, you both recognize a dry hit, and likely recognize the hit BEFORE a dry hit, which is the important one. You certainly know how to use your devices to avoid bad tasting vapes...

    Some common sense words from Dr Farsalinos

    I absolutely believe a case could be made for vaping as a prophylactic against smoking, but that idea makes a lot of people nervous, to say the least. There are a lot of people, vapers included, who see vaping as tobacco-lite. There's a name for inciting people to take action against...

    Health concerns regarding ecigs? I need clarification, BIG thanks to all for any help.

    Having been a non smoker for over 3 years now, if I take a drag off a cigarette, I can taste how bad it is.

    Some common sense words from Dr Farsalinos

    I get the argument, I really do. I still don't support "health" regulations with no basis in scientific fact. It is illegal to sell vapor products to minors in the US, in some states even young adults. Marketing like this is not going to cause anyone to START vaping, it MAY influence their...

    Health concerns regarding ecigs? I need clarification, BIG thanks to all for any help.

    I'll have to watch the video when I get a chance, it just seems odd to me, that a vaper wouldn't notice the formation of acrid compounds when their average puff is above the "safe zone." ETA: also, if I'm reading that chart right and the x axis is the duration of the puff, those long slow puffs...

    Health concerns regarding ecigs? I need clarification, BIG thanks to all for any help.

    Would it be reasonable to assume that the average vaper would notice the sky rocket like spike of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, likely as a sharp acrid flavor, and not continue to vape at that temperature? I mean, it sounds like you're good, and then you hit that dry hit and boom, you get...

    Health concerns regarding ecigs? I need clarification, BIG thanks to all for any help.

    People have already pointed you in the right direction, I just wanted to propose a thought experiment for you. You said after a week of vaping instead of smoking you were already feeling much better, had more energy, could run with your kids. Have you ever felt healthier after smoking a cigarette?

    Has vaping damaged my singing voice? Can I reverse the effects?

    No one will know if your voice will get better, as no one knows what, if anything, is wrong with your voice. If you feel vaping changed it, you've made the right decision in stopping. Now go see a doctor, and maybe they can put your mind at ease. Best of luck.

    FDA FDA Released New Interpretation of Compliance Policy Guidance PDF

    The FDA does not make any mention of a distinction based on concentration, so I don't either. Also, yes, according to the regulations cotton is a tobacco product component if it is sold by a vape retailer for the purpose of being used in a vaporizer(tobacco product). Firearms have their own...

    Bad news for a B&M I go to

    I don't blame them for not fighting. I would so love to see this go before a judge though and have someone try to prove that the claim "vaping is better than smoking" is false.

    Bad news for a B&M I go to

    Again, I believe FDA attention would be almost guaranteed. However, I'm still not clear how this is a matter for the state AG. (Though the FDA bit does make the discussion a bit moot). I wonder if someone is going to go after Jamba juice for making the claim that "blended is better." Super...

    California Prop 56 - Hidden Vape Tax

    I'm still confused. I think the 27.3% rate is based on the current $.87 tax on cigarettes, and will be in effect starting in April. Then, I think, in June we get a new rate based on the new $2.87 tax on cigarettes. Or am I thinking of this wrong?
