Hmm that one doesn't work either, i even tried taking the link straight from his twitter, and just clivebates.com.

Getting a 403 Error on three different browsers on all the links...very odd.

Maybe try googling "Spreading fear and confusion with misleading formaldehyde studies." That should take you to it.

In the latest article DrMa posted it was revealed that the researchers tested the devices at low and high power and the high power was 5.0 volts for multiple 5 second firings. All of the batteries that I know of only go up to 4.2 volts. Is there something I'm missing in the vaping battery world? Are there actually batteries that go up to 5 volts?

I was thinking in mechanical terms. They must be using a regulated device?

Please note that Greg Conley removed the press release from the AVA site until 5PM today after the NEJM contacted him and requested he do so (because the NEJM had a 5pm embargo on their press release touting the botched study.

Clive posted his letter last night (after I sent him a copy of the NEJM letter yesterday).

The reuters article actually wasn't horrible, though it would have been nice if "For most vapers who use e-cigarettes as intended, he said, the findings show "there are non-detectable levels of formaldehyde ... which means people can use them to help them quit smoking lethal cigarettes." had been the title instead.
