*CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A BETTER VERSION OF THIS MODEL, WILL UPDATE AND PUT INSTOCK WHEN BETTER QUALITY PRODUCT ARRIVES*

*WARNING** This mod WILL fire 0.1Ω and lower, but this can and WILL harm the chip. The ideal resistance limit for the VariAnt is about 0.2Ω for maximum wattage and minimum risk to the chip.

This does not make me feel good about this mod lol.

Literally beginning to burn. as in to the point of fire happening. If you've ever gotten a massive dry hit, take it to the next level. I'm doubtful one can even inhale it without vomiting.
I did once from an RDA , i forgot to saturate it LOL , I closed it down and turned my unregulated box mod on and took a massive hit , half way through I felt like dying . I didnt vape for hours and hours after that . Another case which is kind of bad too and its even more stupid , that time again it was with an RDA , that time I didnt even put cotton on , I just had the base screwed on my mod , fired it up thinking I have evreything the way it should be , and while my coils are glowing red i touched my lips to them thinking there is a drip tip . There was no pain from the burn though because I peeled off the skin that got affected but the spot became black and lasted for like a week or two

And there's your formaldehyde lol. It's terrible. Did you already post about the coil burn? I guess it could have been someone else, but I saw someone telling the same story a little while back.

Where is that video of the idiot with the 350w mod he set on fire and such? I would say that he got a good dose of formaldehyde.

Well, not quite.
Formaldehyde is a lung irritant. No way a vaper would keep on vaping without realizing it. Ever tasted a dry hit? :)
If that 350w was used with an atomizer capable of *vaporizing* a full gallon of juice, there would still be NO formaldehyde. Only a stormcloud of *vaporized* juice.
Formaldehyde is formed when juice drainage is not enough to keep up with the heating. Therefore, the juice starts *burning*, instead of *vaporizing*. That's the real difference.

Did anyone on that study offer a taste of that atomizer to a *real* person, not simply a pump machine, when that formaldehyde started to show up?
Would that person even be able to vape it? I doubt it.

I have made the experience myself. With a cheap cartomizer, I can feel a burnt taste at 11-12 watts. With a properly wicked Kayfun, I can go up to 17-18 watts and still be good - even with a single coil. Voltage is ONLY a part of the equation.

If I had an agenda againts eggs, I could analyze a rotten egg. Sure, I would find many nasty things there. But would anyone eat a rooten egg? What people do NOT eat will not make them ill.

I'm not really interested in "fair" studies when it comes to ecigs..I AM concerned with VALID ones.

"they" couldn't prove they're bad for us and lower wattage (which I'd venture to say invalidly that most of us do) so they're going after the ones they know do.

I keep my wattage down being a Tootie Puffer (or Toodle?..too close to Poodle but ok) *lol*

tank systems were "looked at" and of course found the disposable ones (say like the ones Big Tobacco sells) to be "safer" now..that they sell them too. *lol*

Both studies examined only a handful of carcinogens. Traditional cigarettes, by contrast, create thousands of chemicals and dozens of carcinogens, according to Prue Talbot, professor of cell biology at the University of California, Riverside. E-cigarettes do not tend to generate enough heat to create combustion, which is a big reason that many public health officials and researchers predict they will prove less harmful than cigarettes.

I know this might piss some people off, but a fair study was done, and found that on high voltage tanks and MOD's produce high levels of formaldehyde

I LOVE the way you broke that link! Effective, yet very easy to copy and paste! Why didn't I think of that? LOL

Neither side is interested in fair studies.

LOL my husband has one of those - I doubt he'll be trying this tho!!
Last Halloween, while shopping with my son for a costume, I was SO SO tempted to get one of those (on sale, $29.95). Cheaper than my MVP! But I couldn't find a deep-sea diver's helmet that would go along with it.

I disagree, respectfully. Dr Farsalinos has done some great studies, and his work is very much appreciated around here, even though they aren't all positive about vaping. But they are scientifically sound, and done with good background knowledge of vaping and vaping gear.

Unlike the idiots who light some e-liquid on fire and then write it up as their doctoral thesis.
