Chemistry question...

[breatheagain]

I just read a thread on another site where they were discussing the chemical make up of PG and VG and what happens to these when we smoke them. One person who said he had some chemistry experience was talking about flash points and said there is alot of carbon monoxide in what we're smoking due to incomplete combustion and the confined space of the atty.
I haven't heard anything about this before, but it certainly got my attention. Does anyone know about how this works?

That surprises me greatly! It certainly is not consistent with this study:

[Search for "carbon monoxide" to see a graph of an illumating study comparing CO in analogs vs. e-cigs (with PG liquid).]​

This thread presents an interesting ad hoc "analysis" conducted by one of our newer members, e.g.,

And here are the relevant links provided in the ECF Library.

BTW, those of use who use personal vaporizers (i.e., e-cigs) are not "smoking" anything.
