But I do have real facts. There is also no reason to result in name calling, that's pretty low. His wife has been vaping for 5 years and he's been complaining to his doctor about his lungs, the doctor found an abnormal amount of fluid in his lungs and found traces of nitrosamines, he doesn't smoke so how could his lungs have that in it?

So you're saying this article is a lie?

Yes. A properly functioning e-cig/vaporizer does not produce worrisome levels of formaldehyde, and one that's malfunctioning (running hot enough to produce worrisome levels) would be unvapable.

The Portland State study fits right into this dynamic. It is, on the one hand, factually true that vaping at an extremely high voltage will cause formaldehyde-releasing agents to develop.

But this conclusion is highly misleading. People don’t vape at a high voltage because it causes a horrible taste — “a burning taste that occurs from overheating the liquid,” wrote Konstantinos Farsalinos, a Greek scientist and vaping expert, in an email to me. Farsalinos has done human studies of vaping and discovered that above a certain voltage — lower than the high voltage test on the Portland State study — people simply couldn’t inhale; the taste was unbearable.

Yes, we are saying that it's a lie. Follow the funding. These are what you call junk science studies, in which big tobacco and big pharmaceutical, cheered on by government (who are loosing out on tax funds they gain from tobacco sales) tell their scientists to find ways to make their already desired outcome.
Those studies were done under conditions no vaper could or would vape at.
Most of us do show concern for our health in buying our juice from reputable places, since done of the Chinese made juices do contain some undesirable chemicals, but recent unbiased studies have shown those stories like what you linked to for what they really are, deceitful propaganda designed to scare people away from healthier alternatives so they ( big tobacco, pharmaceutical and government) don't lose more money.
