Despite all "love" we have for e-cigs, there are indeed some unanswered questions.
To deny those would be ignorant.
That's why we need real testing done and results on paper.
Here are some of my questions where i'd like to see official tests. Its NOT only about the ingredients in the liquids!!
1) The method of heating the liquids using a metal "wick" as is the case with most standard atomizers: Are any harmful substances emitted or metal particles coming off over time, therefore inhaled??
( Please note that there is no filters in the mouth pieces...you basically inhale right from that chamber where the liquid meets the mesh, right off the glowing "atomizer" wick. )
a) If its the case that harmful metal particles would be inhaled, ultrasonic atomizers would be better alternative!
2) Still unclear about the toxicity of PG in the liquids and especially VG. I read somewhere that VG is actually bad.
Its a whole different story whats IN the liquids....and how they behave when heated and inhaled!
Don't get me wrong, i also strongly think that ecigs are "healthier" than the 4000 cancer causing ingredients in tobacco smoke - but i stil WANT to know.
It would be an irony to smoke e-cigs because they're "healthy"....just to find out that those atomizers give off some carcinogens, aka asbestos..or similar.
Just my $0.02
