So they said there is about 1/10th of the formaldehyde than in a real cig. That's not too bad, but its certainly not the "zero" levels that were being mentioned before. That's just what I heard from the audio. We'll see what the actual study says.

That 1/10th is from high temps. At lower temps there is zero levels of formaldehyde. Even at somewhat high (1.5ohm at 9.5Watts) they said it wasn't any more than the air we breathe. The zero level, was reported in a study by Peter Hayek, et al. One of his comments on the Pankow/Peyton.. Portland State U study:

"When a chicken is burned, the resulting black crisp will contain carcinogens but that does not mean that chicken are carcinogenic. Without overheating the e-liquid, no formaldehyde was detected."
