Hello and welcome!

You will not be able to post any links until you have posted 5 times. How long have you been vaping? What is your current setup?

They are both full of it. Guess what chemical shows up in trace amounts (1-3ppb if I remember right) naturally in your breath when you exhale? Formaldehyde!

Here's some good reading if you get some free time and want to see what kind of info is out there: The Ultimate List of E-Cig Studies: Are E-Cigs Actually Safe? *Updated 2/16/14 » onVaping
The Drexel Univerity study (PDF link is on that page) mentions formaldehyde levels beginning at the bottom of page 8 and onto page 9.

And from this link contained further down that page: BMC Public Health | Abstract | Peering through the mist: systematic review of what the chemistry of contaminants in electronic cigarettes tells us about health risks

Results

There was no evidence of potential for exposures of e-cigarette users to contaminants that are associated with risk to health at a level that would warrant attention if it were an involuntary workplace exposures. The vast majority of predicted exposures are < <1% of TLV. Predicted exposures to acrolein and formaldehyde are typically <5% TLV. Considering exposure to the aerosol as a mixture of contaminants did not indicate that exceeding half of TLV for mixtures was plausible. Only exposures to the declared major ingredients -- propylene glycol and glycerin -- warrant attention because of precautionary nature of TLVs for exposures to hydrocarbons with no established toxicity.

Hope that info helps you and squelches your concerns somewhat
