Brochure: The Facts About Electronic Cigarettes

[Vocalek]

Several folks expressed interest in having a brochure that can be handed out to explain what e-cigarettes are all about. If you have a color printer and purchase trifold brochure paper (available at any office supply store), you can print your own, using the attached document. Print page 1 on the Outside of the brochure stock, then turn the paper over and print page 2 on the Inside panel.

CASAA will be having some copies printed professionally and these will be available for ordering from the CASAA Store.

These are fabulous! Thanks so much for doing this. I just printed some on plain old copy paper and folded them up, works great. Of course, it would be better on good paper, but that's all I have on hand. It'll work to give to people that are interested. Thanks again!

EXCELLENT !....and thanks

One question/comment (forgive my ignorance).

The table has 1 gram e-liquid as a "1 day supply". VG specific density is around 1.25, and pg a bit over 1, so 1 g would be under an ml, or is my math wrong?

It seems like people generally use more like 2 - 3 ml/day, especially someone coming off a full PAD of Marlboro reds, an ounce of juice roughly equivalent to a carton of cigarettes in terms of how long it lasts. (And it's easier to use a lot more, but I'm talking basic maintenance).

(If you're saying that you think people are absorbing maybe 1/3 of what's vaped, then it would make sense to me.)

Just that one item seems ambiguous. Nice job!

Great brochure. Thanks for putting it together and making it available

My specific density is that I only have two college courses in science (geology and biology). If they covered specific density in H.S. Chem, I've forgotten what I learned. Laugesen gave the nitrosamine quantity expressed as 8 ng / gram. And I just went with the conversion I found online for water - 1 ml = 1 gram.

When I first started vaping, I was using a NJOY NPRO, which is a Ruyan model 4081. Someone told me that the carts hold about 1/2 ml. of liquid, and I was going with 2 cartridges per day would equal 1 ml.

So the math might be off, given larger usage patterns or the specific density calculation, but even if you tripled the TSNAs, we are still down in the neighborhood of the FDA nicotine products and nowhere near the neighborhood of the tobacco cigarette.

It's the magnitude of the difference that's important to convey. Even going with triple the TSNAs, it would take 14 years of vaping to equal one day's dose of TSNAs from a pack of cigarettes.

Excuse me, I gotta lot of vaping to do to catch up!

That should say "21 mg nicotine patch" - I don't think they make 24 mg ones.

 

[Vocalek]

You're right.

)mg vs ml mess me up, so I had to check the densities) The chart is good, just that I expect typical would be more like 3 g/day (about 2.5 ml), so the number for nitrosamines would presumably triple (if 8 is the value for about 1g of e-juice).

You see the huge delta relative to cigarettes, and it's definitely same ballpark as the other items on the chart, just slightly higher than nicotine gum if it's 24.

(If we dislike antis overstating things, it's incumbent to not understate.)

Nice job!

Thank you Vocalek, that is superb.

That brochure is Excellent! Very Nice Job.

 

[SuZamme]

Nice work. Thank you.
Maybe I just missed finding it but I don't see any reference to ECF in your brochure i.e. for more information on actually acquiring and using a PV.

 

[Janetda]

This is great Elaine. CASAA really came through with a nice brochure. It should be very helpful for a lot of folks.

Nice job!

Those of us on ECF may represent a more dedicated group of users than the norm. My guess would be that the folks who buy replacement cartridges for retail brands at $2 each are averaging between 1 and 3 carts per day. There are probably more of them than there are of us. Most of these (e.g. NJOY NPRO) hold 0.5 ml of liquid. I doubt they are using 6 carts @ $2 each to equal 3 ml of liquid.

That works -- thanks for clarifying for me (I forgot how little liquid a lot of the street cartridges hold, and you're right, I'm going by what I've been seeing on ECF for use rates.)
