So guys, Dr faraslinos did a study, and he found formaldehyde in vapour... Is this when it is overheated? Or is it present in the heating process?

I don't have study links right now, but I believe it was when they overheated the coil and wick causing a "dry hit" that it was measurable. The ANTI's did the original study and it was immediately retracted because they omitted the coil overheat to "dry hit" part in the conclusions, and made it look like it was occurring during normal operations of an ecig.
Keep going.
In addition, the levels were far below the standards set for exposure as well.
Rather than cherry picking and posting misleading threads, exercise some due diligence and read up thoroughly first.
I vape, but dr faraslinos has just messaged me back and said that formaldehyde is found at low levels of vaping and high levels at high levels of vaping... Im not convinced that vaping at 3.5v can produce formaldehyde
The whole thing is blown out of proportions with the sole purpose of feeding the alarmist frenzy among the media and the anti-vaper's movement.
from the above statement messaged to you by Dr F it would appear you are correct. I smoked 30 to 40 cigarettes each and every day for over 40 years before I discovered the miracle of vaping so i would imagine I have a high tolerance
are you trying to determine if vaping is harmful to you? is vaping a new hobby? are you a previous smoker?
Unless you crank up your heat to near dry hit/burning wick levels you get less exposure to formaldehyde than taking a whiff of a dryer sheet. Dryer sheets have no stigma on them but they contain a constant level many times that of vaping.
Yes, glycerin can break down into -aldehydes at high temperatures. At these temperatures, however, you're not "vaporizing" so much as you are "burning" your juice. It'd likely taste like garbage, and you'd be hard-pressed to not notice that "bad, nearly poisonous taste".
So yes, in extreme situations, glycerin can produce -aldehydes. Keep your temperatures out of the "excessive" range and you should be fine. I can't speak for .1 sub-ohmers though.

Oh and by the way, formaldehyde is 1 of the thousands of carcinogens found in cigarettes.
Smoked allot of them for 39 years.

What if for long time smoker just additional 1 mkg of formaldehyde is enough to trigger cancer?
Ex-smokers should be especially cautious with carcinogens.
i believe the good doctor also noted at normal operating temperature
the amount of formaldehyde found was so low as to possibly
be what was found normally in the breath as a result of natural
human metabolism.
its hard to watch those carcinogens when your own body is
making them.
from my soon to be regulated by the FDA body regards,
