Actually the study was done by the California Dept of Public Health, Evolv was just quoting it. Although John signed off on the validity of the study.
An interesting thing in Bellenger's tallk is the data he's collecting from customers. how many of his customers are vaping above 470 degrees? i wonder if his board collects temperature data for vapers in power mode?
Would it be reasonable to assume that the average vaper would notice the sky rocket like spike of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, likely as a sharp acrid flavor, and not continue to vape at that temperature? I mean, it sounds like you're good, and then you hit that dry hit and boom, you get blasted with nasty stuff. I'm also assuming that acute exposure isn't as much of a concern as chronic exposure.
I'll have to watch the video when I get a chance, it just seems odd to me, that a vaper wouldn't notice the formation of acrid compounds when their average puff is above the "safe zone."
-love this one...my input...sit in congested traffic in a car in a big city, and tell me its healthier than sitting in a restaurant in a small town in the smoking section. Analog smoke. Come on. Smoking ban, eh maybe. Vapor ban, wow, really? Get with the program.
-Steam Engine. Coil wrapping recommends that the nominal temperature for vaping is around 250 Fahrenheit I believe...check it out for yourself...1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, not even if you had a car battery jerry rigged to a mechanical mod I don't think. I don't know, just saying check out steam engine when you build coils and it will tell the wattage to vape at for what temperature. I think 325 is way too hot...I know I know. TC temperature control on most APV mods goes up to 600 plus degrees. But for how long. See what I mean. How long can you take a drag at that temp. I tried it. Once. On my SMOK HPRIV. The wick lit the e-liquid and cotton, and made a sound like an explosion. And I felt the heat in my mouth. Instantly. Didn't hurt me. But my point is, what wick was he using, and what kind of coil, and how much battery? I have read this somewhere else, about purposely overheating the e-liquid just to find out how harmful it can be. Cant imagine what a monster build that was. Cl"ow"ds for daze.....lol
May be it will be not very much noticeable. It will be about the same amount a smoker gets, and smoker has no bad feelings about it.
I do not know how you get 470 degrees, because a paper we are discussing shows that emissions start at 415 F.
Having been a non smoker for over 3 years now, if I take a drag off a cigarette, I can taste how bad it is.
The first poster gave me an impression that 470 degrees is a break point. Looking at the graphs i would choose 400 degrees but that's convenient for me since my temp control setting is 400 degrees. I'm interested in thiis study but not alarmed. Coinciidentally, in the past few days I've been playing with Arctic fox fiirmware on a pico. it let's me see max temp and max watts for each puff and that's been very interesting. I recommend the same to anyone with a compatible device.
I am also not a scientist, well I am/was a secondary science educator but cannot give you scientific data to support the health benefits regarding vaping compared to analogs. But I can tell you that in the last 4 years since I've switched to vaping, after smoking for 20+ years, I've never been healthier. I was plagued prior with chronic bronchitis as well as pneumonia since birth, & since the switch I have had neither. I hadn't gone 1 year in my entire life without being in the hospital w/either illness, & in fact 6 years ago spent 6 days in the ICU, & 9 days total in the hospital w/antibiotic resistant pneumonia.
Yes, Will Power helped me get through it too! Cigalikes and egos were pretty much all that was out there at the time! I just stayed stubborn and quit cigarettes! I was so done with them! Over 2 years later, still have not had 1 cigarette - The devices that are on the market now are fantastic and so are the prices! So many eliquid companies out there now- and much better DIY eliquid advice too!
