The Washington Post is spewing rubbish from Consumer Reports -the formaldehyde lie and the metals, and most of the rest.

CR has spewed this garbage several times in the past few years. It makes me sad to see another purportedly science/fact based organization fail this way. I even took the time to write them once with links to the rebuttals.
CR has been without credibility for years.just look at what they did with Tesla cars. They gave it 103% in a review while identifying blatant issues such as doors not being able to open.

    72 mg/ml nic? o_O I know that that level and higher of nic is available, but I've only been vaping for a bit less than a year a half, so I've yet to find a 7.2% mg/ml 'ejuice'.. That's high even for a first gen cigalike, isn't it? They only went up to the mid 50's or so didn't they?

    I've never heard of anybody vaping that high of nic concentration. I've heard warnings about doing that. And warnings about handling anything over 60mg/ml without proper ventilation, gloves and eye protection.

    Washington Post doesn't have much vaping credibility, either. The two have teamed up to present us with yet another pseuodo-scientific article, made of bits of trash cooked up by those that wish to misinform for their own gain.

    These lies will never stop, all we can do is counter them with facts. They are paid liars, and it's all about the money those paying them make on people smoking Morley's and dying from it. Recall the Master Settlement Agreements signed by California and New York, in which they took money from Big Tobacco to overlook the health impact of their products. They spent that money before they even had it in hand, and then tobacco revenues took a nose dive because of vaping. So, yeah, they are going to smear vaping all they can, for the money.

    I think a 60 mg/ml level is the highest one can vape safely. 100 mg/ml is available, but that should only used for DIY 'mixdowns', AFAIK.

    I routinely use 100mg/ml for DIY. I am currently using 10 ml of it in a 100 ml batch, and mix 5 of those at a time. I don't think anyone is actually vaping 100 ml/mg juice. That would just be insane.
