I hope those companies sue them back and win big money. That's the only way to shut them up, in the courts.
Congrats! Vaping's great!I have not had a cigarette in 3 days for the first time in over 15 years!
Thanks for that. CEH is sneaky with their words, sentences and intentions. I'd like to see them say what parameters they used, either in email or elswhere. I might not be asking the best questions, though.This is a different study but the parameters of time for smoking machines are more or less standard.

Puff duration was 3 s, puff volume 40 mL and inter-puff smoldering-interval 27 s.
Congratulations on your 3 day milestone RobbyRocket! Wishing you many more.

Has he sent you any articles about this yet? I'm looking forward to some expert rebuttals, too.My dad always sends me the articles when these studies come out. Looking forward to the rebuttal, so I can send it to him.
It appears their tests on vapor products were conducted by inaccurate and unreliable smoking/vaping machines, which e-cig company lawyers should challenge.
In the short term, it's terrible. The headlines in the media have been maybe the worst to date. Long term, it could be good, possibly even a breakthrough much like you describe.IMHO, those *inaccurate* tests shouldn't have gone unchallenged to begin with.
So now, in the course of defending against a lawsuit, this gives the ecig industry an OPPORTUNITY to show that ecigs do not, after all, generate high levels of formaldehyde and aldehydes, right?
If anything, a positive outcome of tests, that are PROPERLY conducted, seems like it would clear up a lot of questions, as well as stop accusations from being slung around.
I know if somebody were making accusations about my person, or a product I sold, I would be QUICKLY embarking on showing evidence to the contrary.
So, not sure why this is bad if it has a good outcome?
OTOH, if it has a bad outcome, then it gives the ecig industry something to improve and fix. Again, not sure how this is bad for vapers?
They knew from previous "studies" that aldehydes are easy to get if you misuse e-cigs with smoking machines, so that's what they aimed for, that's what they looked for, and that's what they found.Because they are determined to seize on & find just one scary-sounding chemical from vaping that they can run with and scare the hell out of people & go to the elitist media & fearmonger about vaping & equate it to cigarette smoking. Make no mistake, that's their goal.
