e cigarettes & formaldehyde

[scrappy69]

Any thoughts on the study that says e cigarettes contain formaldehyde? I think it's a BS study in my opinion

Hmm, only place you'll find the F word is likely in the poly fills of some carto type atomizers, and one needs to burn the poly to produce any. Mainly BS. I mix DIY juice, and have never ordered the F word. Just VG, PG, Nic base and flavor extracts.

vape long and Prosper.!!!!!

That study was challenged on the basis that they were using unrealistic testing methods and burning the coils and wicks.

I read about that and am also concerned. My personal opinion: It's POSSIBLE for the F word to occur (have you seen how hot the coils can get?). Therefore, the risk is higher for high wattage users cloud chasing (you use ALOT of firepower = high heat). I now vape low and slow until further concrete scientific research is established.

If you fire 200 watts into your carto or clearo, you're likely to burn the plastic. So don't do that.

I have yet to see an explanation of how vaproized vg or pg can yield anything like formaldehyde.

My thoughts exactly.

See the video two posts up. No one is vaping formaldehyde.

BTW, high watts does not equal high coil temperatures, if it's done right. It equals a lot of heat (watts) delivered to a lot of coil surface area so you vaporize a lot of juice quickly with no burning. You can also burn juice at 7 watts if you do it wrong.

And again i say they didnt even find or measure formaldehyde. it was formaldehyde hemiacetal which as yet is not a known health risk...
