I recently opened a discussion about slightly brown cotton after few millimiters of vaping.
I found somewhere an used coil of my Ovale Elips C use silica instead of cotton.
For sure i used this coil for at least 30 ml minimum but the condition was way worst.
I can't understand what material are this black parts and dirty some come off and some stay even if i clean under water.

The strange thing i use plain liquid with no flavour only 80% glycerin 20% water and 9mg/ml nicotine no other ingredients are in my eliquid wich is completly clear...

I also try to burn with lighter a piece of white dry silica wick and nothing happen
so i believe silica can't take on fire.
Whats create this strange dirty on my wick material?
Temperature to high modify structure of my eliquid instead of just vaporize it?

Anybody or study out of here examinate what are this black particles?

Check the pictures before and after i washed with water and judge yourself...

Burnt wick...or possibly the carbonized sugars in glycerine.

Actually you can burn SILICA wick?
Cause seems really hard to burn a piece of silica?

I'm really concerned about health problems...
The strange thing i never experienced dry hits with this coils...
The flavour changed after a lot of millimiters vaped much more intense but nothing you can say burn taste....
What is carbonization of eliquid? sounds bad...
I'm scared of cancerogin formaldeyde and acrolein...

Sugar burns. Glycerine has natural sugars in it. Coils "collect" said sugars and burn them. You're more likely to get cancer from smoking cigarettes.

So there are study about this burned sugar and they are not risk for vapers health correct?
Nothing having to do with formaldeide and acrolein found at very high temperature wrong vaping styles?

There is no formaldehyde or acrolein in e-liquid!

In Eliquid no but if you heat this eliquid over 280 degrees celsius you can generate acrolein and formaldeide...

There are studies comparing the same coil working at low voltage and high voltage and higher was the voltage higher was acrolein production
