The SRNT Conference has just finished and some information was shared there on Ruyan research.

1.) on page 139, abstract POS5-11:
Laugesen (Health NZ): RUYAN NICOTINE ELECTRONIC INHALER/E-CIGARETTE: BENCH-TOP TESTS
The abstract gives new information on the composition of the mist produced by Ruyan brand, indicating that nicotine delivery (16 mg carts) would be less per puff than from a regular cigarette.
2.) on page 149, abstract POS5-50:
Bullen (CTRU Auckland) et. al: EFFECT OF AN ELECTRONIC NICOTINE INHALER ON CRAVINGS, WITHDRAWAL, ACCEPTABILITY AND NICOTINE DELIVERY
Abstract gives first results of a trial study, comparing Ruyan brand (16 mg), placebo, Nicorette inhalator and normal cigarette, regarding effects on cravings, some maximum plasma concentrations and speed of delivery.
Also, the contact data of the leading authors is given...
I've been asked to see if anyone can help with this question -
"... how would the reported values for plasma concentrations appear in the time vs plasma nicotine diagramm (I remember you had such a standard diagram somewhere posted). Guess the units should read ng/ml (typo?), but values appear somehow weird (very low)..."
I think this is the graph being referred to:
