Dry Puff: How Research Overturned E-Cig Formaldehyde Scare

Instead of demonizing vaporizing off-the-bat, we should be regulating the voltage at which e-cigarettes work

The person that wrote this article does not understand the subject matter either. Voltage is irrelevant. What matters is wire temperature. And wire temperature is self-limiting as long as the coil is kept wet. One can produce excessive wire temperatures (and formaldehyde!) at very low voltages if the coil is allowed to dry out. Regulations that arbitrarily limit voltages won't achieve the desired results.

They are lawyers, not e-cigarette subject matter experts. Yet. But I was surprised to see somewhat balanced approach.

I too was very surprised. I still don't like lawyers though.

What they're going to find out is the overwhelming majority of ecig accidents involve mishandled mech mods. There is no way to prove the battery is at fault. The manufacturer of the mod is some little machine shop in china and the walk in retailer has little capital. There is nobody rich to sue so the tort lawyers will lose interest.

The sidebar is where its at...lawyers fishing for business.

Considering the number of vapers vs. the number of injured vapers ... if they do vape litigation only - they might hit some very lean times.

I saw that and decided not to read their sales pitch

It looks to me this article is the result of their research to sue the vape industry. They need to know both sides of story to be effective in court.

Remember the legal adage, "Don't ask a question that you don't know the answer to."
