i have a question on the NEJM (New england journal of medicine) study on formaldehyde in ecigs. So as far as im concerned, the study was complete bull and a waste of money to anyone who donated to the cause. they found that a carto at 5 volts and 1,2000 degrees (rediculous amnt of power and heat for a carto) has twice the amount of formaldahyde as pack of cigs. Yada yada. This is just a quick summary of my understanding of the study so if i misrepresented please correct me.

My question, is, as these higher voltage/wattage devices surpassing 200 watts, are we safe in your opinion to be vaping on rda'S/RTA'S at these higher wattage higher voltage devices. SOMEONE PLEASDPLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND lol

Hi zSalty , I don't have the answers, but you might find what you are looking for in here : Media and General News and Legislation News and FDA Regulations and CASAA

Edit : the search box at the top right corner of every page is helpful, type the report name in it and you'll find the answers easier...

Even more lies than you think. they didnt even measure for formaldehyde. they measured for a substance called formaldehyde hemiacetal, which contains formaldehyde but because its in a compound renders it inert and is not known as a health risk. they justify meausuring for it by saying in the context of vaping they THINK it MAY release formaldehyde. the worded the title of the study in souch a way that was misleading and out to push an agenda

It's the temperature to which the e-liquid is heated that determines what chemicals the liquid breaks down to (if any). Watts is about heat, and temperature is much more than just heat. Volts you can basically forget about, they're even farther removed from the temperature in this chain of cause and effect. Just my 2 cents.

Definitely guys. Thanks for your opinions. I know its all just propaganda and media bS. The thing that gets me is they are in a way saying just go back to chemically induced tobacco for now acting like its healthier. I believe the large tobacco companies are major providers for these studies to go in their favor, as vaping is becoming a billion dollar industry, its taking away from the big wig companies.

I think our biggest job is to educate the public on the falsified statistics of what really happened with this study. At the end of the day though, thankfully its just one study that cheated to get the results they wanted to see, my biggest concern is how the media blasted all over ABC like it was record breaking research when in reality, was a test set up for failure, asking how can we CREATE a formaldahyde substance using outdated vape gear.

Reeeeeeaaalllllyy makes me wonder about OTHER studies being done in our world.
Jusg my 2 pennies.

It is a biased study of juices made and sold primarily in/from China, I'm marginally ok with pieces from there but I would never buy juice from there. Also the mediopa seems to have it out for vaping, yahoo publishes a hit piece about every quarter on vaping so I would take it with a grain of salt.

I agree. Again like i said i think a lot of these studies are funded semi secretly by the larger cigarette companies to somehow get sheeple to turn back to cigarettes and away from vaping. totally not trying to sound like a crazy conspirator but fer real dough, people hate what they dont know, esp when the media tells them what makes them comfterable. Dont believe everything you see on the news, kids.
 
Not a conspirator either but I absolutely agree Salty. Here in my state the passed an outdoor smoking ban in Boulder on the eastern side of the state that includes "E-cigs". All the ridiculous explanations I read from their city council were absurd and based completely out of ignorance of vaping. Thank goodness I don't live in Boulder, LOL :blink:

Thicker wire takes higher wattage per ohm to get up to temperature.
