New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

[mikepetro]

Did not make any progress on PG tests, sorry...

Laying my new sidewalk took longer than I thought. Now I give a it day or two for the cement to set, then grout between the stones. Needed to get this done before the weather got too cold.

Also installed new floodlights, now I can smoke Boston Butts at midnight if I want.

Cross posting here:
I got the recipe from the Vermont Vapor site after they closed shop, only I used PG instead of Distilled water. They were very kind in posting many of their recipes and techniques after they closed. Formerly Vermont Vapor, Inc. - Recipes


For those following the aldehyde thread, notice their recipe for 100% VG base.
Thats 20% DW!

e-liquid Base

0 mg/ml Unflavored Base (June, 2009)

4 ml Glycerol USP
1 ml Distilled Water

Blog has been tweaked and posted:

How to measure the temperature on your own atty.

This is a good read read. Remember I said finer wire was faster response, and placement was critical.

This article sort of puts it in perspective, nothing to do with vape, but everything to do with thermocouples. (Keep in mind the probes we are using are NOT sheathed so it takes that variable out it)

MB always blocks anything outside of the summaries on that site. You can safely add it to your exclusions, and that will stop. Obviously it doesn't like something there, but it's fine.

Katyayaya, I had a prob with the link originally as well (and notified Phil, who originally posted it). Now it's working without issue.

It's MB, Katya. I have the same problems. It's sensitive, which is good (but sometimes annoying).

Old business. I added the address to my exclusions, still didn't work. Opened a ticket, and got this response:

My name is X and I'm from Malwarebytes Technical Support. I will be helping you with your ticket # x.

If you feel these are falsely blocked, then there is a more direct place for you to find out why they are blocked.
The team responsible for issues such as this is better reached thru the forum, where that team monitors on a regular basis.
The suggested practice is to post in the *False Positives forum * to get any information as to why it is blocked and how it can be removed.

Just FYI--and thanks again for your help!

A locked & loaded 9mm should fix the problem nicely, at this point.

Now here's a nice article for a Friday.
A comparative assessment of e-cigarette aerosols and cigarette smoke on in vitro endothelial cell migration - ScienceDirect

Always nice to see an in vitro study to turn favorable, even though we tend to criticize them as not realistic models.

I have a sneaking suspicion it won't feel good at all...

Wonder what the nicotine rush would be like?

I have had "vaping" strength all over my hands, even when scratched, never noticed any pain.
Just dont rub your eyes! Yeooooow!

Sorry for my absence but I got mired down in some personal drama the last couple weeks.

OK, so I found this Mettler/Toledo PB 303-S/FACT Precision Digital Scale on eBay and bid on it. Its an $1800 scale and I got it for $140, nobody else bid on it!

Unfortunately, while the scale itself arrived in great condition, the draft shield was smashed to pieces. The guy wrapped the scale well, but didnt do such a good wrapping the draft shield.

A good cleaning, and $10 at the local Glass Shop, and I have it all back together.

Repeatability is excellent, +/- 0.001g every time and usually dead on the money. Plus it has its own self calibration weights built it, it calibrates every time you turn it on. Matches my own calibration weights +/- 0.001g every time.

So testing of 75/25 PG/VG will commence this weekend, followed by testing of 100% PG.

What a great find! Good luck with the testing...

Now that's a nice scale for that price (ignoring the glass). Mettler has always offered exceptional scales and scoring one of those for $140 on auction is pretty amazing.

You got a good Glass Shop there - some have a minimum charge for any size glass and it isn't anywhere near $10...

 

[Semiretired]

Oh, by the way- did you get your sidewalk finished???

@mikepetro
It looks like the edges of the glass are polished, they will charge you by the inch for that.
Still, for what you have it's worth the cost.
