ecig filter??

[jhorne2000]

So I've been vaping for two years after smoking for 10. Tonight, I don't know why, I decided to stuff a tiny piece of paper towel in my tip to see what it would look like after a little vaping. It looked worse than the worst cigarette filter I have had. I was not aware that so much particulate was making it in my lungs! I generally have regarded vaping as much better than cigarettes, but I never assumed they were safe. But dang! I'm now wondering if that is a flaw of my set up or if they are all that way? Has anyone ever experimented with this?

I'm using an Aspire Nautilus on a Tesla.

Glad to be vaping unflavored then...........

Could be the color of the juice, that'd be my guess.

 

[jhorne2000]

what does unflavored vape taste like? and why would it not have any particle?

 

[jhorne2000]

well it is sort of the burnt color of the juice. its so thick on there it doesn't seem like vapor has shaded the paper towel-- it seems like it is just particles of the juice that must be so small I can't detect when I inhale. i'll be using the paper towel from now on.

For starters blocking the airflow will cause your your coil to overheat the juice and can cause some of the ingredients in your juice to caramelize or burn...

I can't help but wonder if maybe, since you're probably having to pull harder with the paper towel in there, you might be pulling some of the juice itself into the tip.

Doesn't sound like a very scientific experiment to me lol.

"just particles of the juice that must be so small I can't detect when I inhale"

well technicaly that IS was vapor is.... micro fine juice particals suspended in air..

I'm no scientist, but wouldn't a much more reliable test to be to blow through a material (ie: paper towel) after taking hits?

It used to have a sweet vanilly taste when I started using it maybe 3-1/2 yrs ago, now my taste buds have adjusted and I mostly just taste the Nic in it. Tastes like a Murlbaro Light minus the burnt part.

I'd think it'd have much less particulate matter in it then after flavoring and coloring is added. Didn't mean to infer that it's clean and totally harmless in comparison.

Not really. The most interesting question is "what is going into lungs?" After this question is answered we can ask "and what is going out?" Then, using simple subtraction, we will know what remains in our lungs. What was consumed.

Well, if the stuff on the paper towel looks different than the juice in the tank your equipment isn't working properly. I suspect, just as Mrs C posted, blocking the airflow is causing your juice to burn.

Condensate or left over juice in the drip tip and or barrel? How about instead of sticking the paper INTO the drip tip and soaking everything up put it OVER the drip tip and draw a couple of times...
