I'm posting this cause a friend of mine who has asthma and is allergic to Formaldehyd, described his experience as this to me:

Every time when he was vaping above 45-50Watts he had a sore throat the next morning had to use a special prescribed asthma spray because the symptoms went worse the next day for about a week.

The next week hhe just happened to vape on a prebuilt Lemo with 1,1Ohms at constantly 20-25 Watts and he noticed that he had absolutely no complaints so far and his asthma was completely gone.

I thought this is the study where it was shown they had vaped a CE4 or somesuch at high wattage?

but yes I do expect that if any real problems are found with vaping they will be at the higher wattages. Time will tell.

Your title is completely misleading.

The study didn't find formaldehyde in the vapor, nor did it find any known carcinogens. Read it more carefully.

And it's not surprising that your friend got a sore throat vaping above 45-50 watts; why would you conclude it was formaldehyde that was the culprit?

 

[Bunnykiller]

this is an old study that was forced to create the chemicals.... and it wasnt formaldehyde that was produced, it was a chemical that can release formaldehyde under optimal conditions

Stop posting this bull. There's enough made up crap published by those that wish to control every aspect of our lives out there already...we don't need to add fuel to the bogus fire.

I just got over a bad cold. I think tootle puffing made it less bad for me. Definitely worked out better than smoking during my last cold about 1 yr ago.

Vaping will not work for everyone and the more extreme forms of vaping will for sure not work for everyone. I don't think smoking works well for those with asthma either.

I admit I'm new to vaping. However, doesn't 20-25 W on a 1.1 ohm coil = burnt?

I own a Lemo, and have a 1 Ohm build in now, and I can't push much over 16 W without burned taste.

Required wattage is dependent on the design of the atomizer. So there is no such thing as "this wattage is safe, and this one isn't". Heat is the culprit, not wattage.

Right now I'm using an atomizer that 10 watts would be to hot. There is an atomizer sitting on my desk that is just fine at 100 watts.

Patient: "Doctor, it hurts when I do this..."
Doctor: "Then stop doing that!"

This isn't rocket science.

Thread Closed. You dont post enough evidence for this to be compelling.

Also this was discussed back when the study came out in January. You can read all about it here: Brace yourselves new Formaldehype junk study to be released Jan 21 | E-Cigarette Forum

I will just add into this thread that Dr. Farsalinos is currently conducting an experiment to look at the output of vaping products in real-life use. I'm not sure when he's due to publish but I have heard that early indications are good, and that vapers are very good at detecting when bad stuff is being output (and avoiding it happening)
