Err... So do I! That's why I said 'I don't bother to convert'.... To fahrenheit :D

The problem with nitpicking one line is that you often miss other important details.

Farsalinos himself mentions that even at low power levels and temperature aldehydes are present, they are never gone. What happens when you increase the power? You're burning through larger volumes of juice throughout the day, hence increasing your exposure to aldehydes. If you couple this with the uncertainty of inhaling various flavours at high temperatures then it gets interesting.

Well they made a study that's published in a scientific journal concerning the levels of formaldehydes in normal vaping conditions and dry hits, so they can't really ignore it.

E-cigarettes generate high levels of aldehydes only in “dry puff” conditions (irrespective of the power levels)
This is the study I was referring to earlier.

the major thing to note is that it says 'high levels' not that aldehydes are only generated under dry puff conditions! The devil is in the detail!

The aldehydes are created more through heat then volume, hence why the dry hit creates them in greater quantity... And hence why the one running the tests himself felt the need to mention higher power doesn't correlate to increased aldehydes. Think I'll go ahead and trust him over pure speculation.
This is the very reason optimal temperatures for juice types was being discussed earlier. With a tc mod and that knowledge, we could tune our vapes to optimal safety if desired.

We should really be using degrees Kelvin I reckon...

Correct but considering that people are increasing their power levels, hence consuming more eliquid, their cumulative exposure to aldehydes is increased. If I remember correctly I used to go through 2-3ml of liquid everyday approximately 5 years ago when I started vaping and this hasn't changed much until today. On the other hand, I've heard from people using "cloud-chasing" (hate this term) atomisers and higher watt devices, going through more than 10-15ml on a daily basis.

Anyways, here is the podcast with Farsalinos where he goes through his study, future studies, flavours and many other topics. I think it's a very interesting conversation if you haven't listened to it.

25% humidity here and that is high for here but it is monsoon season. It doesn't rain hear but a lot of moisture comes up from the Gulf of California. But then I don't have my own private beach 5 miles away. Hmmm... I have been watching Shark Week the last few days. No way in He!! I would go in the water anyway :danger:. Cancel the Beach Envy. :rolleyes:
