I have not studied the formaldehyde stuff very much but from what i know you only need to be concerned if you love taking lots of dry hits . Most people, (unless your a sick and twisted individual) do not love lots of dry hits .
Keep your wicks wet and your fine

If it doesn't taste burnt, it isn't producing the compounds necessary to create formaldehyde. If it does taste burnt, you'll know it. Warm to hot is one thing. Burnt you'll recognize immediately. the tests that the ANTZ point to was done by overheating a coil way past the point where the wick could keep up. Ignore it.
you can find all kinds of scare tactics used by the anti vaping crowd.but you should learn to ignore them. tobacco contains formaldehyde. vaping does not unless your burning the wick and then it would taste so bad that you could not vape it
I really don't see why anyone needs 33 watts to begin with with, Are you am ex smoker or a choo choo train wannabe.
It's not so much the wattage to be concerned about, it's the temperature.
Get steel coils and use temperature mode.
I was talking to a friend the other day, a couple he knows were concerned about this same thing, she's a big cloud chaser. She happens to work in the lab at the Air Force base with test equipment the Antz wish they could get ahold of! She blew the biggest cloud she could into the test box, clapton wire under .1 Ohm build, crazy hot. NO trace of formaldehyde was found in all three tests.
Same BS as PG is antifreeze, "we don't know what's in them, so they have to be bad!" and any other drivel they can come up with to make people go back to big tobacco.

Hmm. I was vaping at 133 watts Yesterday evening, with six clapton coils! still not dead.... but the flavor and clouds was off the charts.
Others have already stated, all the "research" where all done by anti-vaping people... the "tests" were done under extreme conditions that not a single vaper would do voluntarily, even under terrible conditions. They burned the coils and winks and boiled the liquid to extreme temperature, and using methods that not a single vaping device could do similar.
Even the "bad" chemicals found, where so small in quantity that everyone actually inhales a lot worse from simply walking down the street next to cars or living in cities. Even new carpets and other items gives off trace amount of chemicals that are higher than what registered for vaping.
So as others have already said, unless you get dry hits, there's absolutely nothing in vaping that any single person, lab, scientist, has been able to find as being bad for anyone. At this time the popular saying is "it's 95% safer than cigarettes, and for that 5%, we have no idea." In other words, they are keeping that 5% for the witch hunt... odds are that IF there is something discovered, it could be 3%, 1%, 0.01% ... or nothing at all.
At this point the only real negatives have all been human error with mech mods/coils being badly done, batteries left in bad circumstances that caused them to blow, people using wrong chargers on cheap crappy e-gos (mostly fakes), people using bad stuff to vape instead of proper liquid..
Even the diacetyl scare.. the "huge and scary" quatity found was something like 100 times less than in cigarettes, and less than in a LOT of food products that people eat every day.

All depends what kind of mod you have. Like I have a 200 watt rx200 and it barely hits under 30. Same with my sigelei 75 watt
This really depends a LOT on the coil/tank you use.
With a small low wattage tank like the Kanger Aerotank2, about 13-15W is fine (depending on coil and liquid) but a larger sub-ohm tank with a much larger coil, under 30W barely gives anything out. I run at 45W as my standard setting, but use temp. control too.
And I love going around my house puffing away and going woo-wooo!
Me and my daughter have fun doing "dragon fights" now.
You need a different Topper... maybe a KF3M?
What kind of resistances do you use and what topper are you using now?
^^This^^ Right now I don't even own a device capable of 33 watts and don't need one. Yet I'm vaping and I'm smoke free. That's what these devices were invented for. Then the Chinese manufacturers discovered that in the gluttonous American market all they gotta do is build something they can promote as having more of this or more of that the sheep will follow and they can sell 10,12 or 20 products over and over to the same customer.
I have an aspire Atlantis on my sigelei, , and a aspire cleito on my ipvd2, and a crown tank on my rx200
Not everyone chooses to vape the way YOU do. There are many different ways to vape, and whichever one works for each person is the right way.
Sorry I wan't clear...
WHAT are the OHMS/Resistance of the coils you are using?
For example, the 1.8Ω Aspire coils should be a fine vape below 33 watts.
You need to remember that the studies that found formaldehyde were flawed to begin with. In some of the studies, they purposely overheated the e-liquid to obtain the results. Even sub ohm devices don't heat the e-liquid to that point if used properly.
In other studies where formaldehyde was found, they never stated what the amounts were. Come to find out, the levels were within acceptable limits and far, far lower than what you'd find in cigarette smoke.
It's the topper & the coil (not the mod) that determines how high a wattage you will need.
You can use a protank (at 8-10 watts) or a nautilus (at 12-18 watts) on both your mods and they will perform very well (for what they are).
