yes but a tiny fraction of the formaldehyde produced in cigarettes.

I have a question. I am new to vaping. I am concerned about the Aspire Breeze that I bought 20 days ago ( I have been cigarette free...mostly for 20 days now, perhaps 1-2 cigarettes per day now) and I read about Formaldehyde being produced at high temps when vaping. I have searched the internet with no luck on this, does anyone know what temperature the Aspire Breeze atomizes at? I read that anything under 440f is safe but anything over 480f is not safe. Also, I use the Aspire Breeze, would that make me a tootle puffer? :p

I've missed you guys too! I've been going through ECF withdrawal!
Life is back to normal for me. My husband's work is still closed (for the third week) as his building received some damages, mostly from smoke. But at least it's all paid time off and he doesn't have to use vacation time!

Paid time off is good. It keeps employees from looking for new employment. That's cheap insurance for any company. You can bet that an insurance company is footing the bill for continued salary payments.

TC didn't freak my out. the Nickel and Titanium wire did.

Um, it's easy to really freak out about the temperature stuff. I'm not sure what temp the aspire breeze vapes at, but it's got relatively weak power and a relatively high resistance. I'm not sure what percentage the pods are at or if you refill yourself? If you can fill with your own juice one way to be safe(er) would be to use an e-liquid with a fair amount of PG in it, like 50/50 ish.

Also, vaping is safer than smoking, even at very very very high temps, so there are going to be lots of things you can do to improve the SAFETY of your vape (like eventually, down the road, using Temperature Control coils (either in another setup with premade coils, or by using an RTA/RDA where you do your own coiling and wicking, but that day does not have to be Today.

I know the temperature control stuff really freaked me out to begin with and I freaked out and probably approached trying to build my own coils sooner than I should have, leading to my purchasing some gear that wasn't suitable for me and other problems. I STILL don't use TC all the time, and I'm unlikely to do so.

Here are things you can do now to keep your temps lower: try not to chain-vape let your coil and liquid cool down before vaping. If you have a wattage adjustment, keep your vape on the cool side (not sure if the Breeze does) and use a VG/PG mix (PG can handle higher temps than VG) unless you are allergic to PG entirely.

Things you can do now: remember that vaping is safer than smoking, even at higher temperatures. Slowly, and without panicking, start learning more about vaping so that at some point in the future you can use a Temp Controlled mod and tank (if you so desire).

Don't freak out and return to smoking, for vaping to be as bad as smoking for you, you'd pretty much have to inhale dry hits (a burnt coil) 100% of the time.

I wish someone had said to me what I'm going to say now: #1-- Focus on finding a stable vape that you enjoy, quit the cigarettes, and go from there. You have the rest of your life to make vaping safe(er) and it's already much safe(er) than cigarettes, even with the occasional high temperature.

I've only used SS316L for TC. It just works. You can't dry burn Titanium. It turns to ash. Don't ask me how I discovered that! I have some Nickel but haven't even opened that package.

A quick question on my Ego One atomizer,is the inner liner under the metal,glass or plexiglass?
I've got some Cinnamon lite juice I'd like to vape in the Ego One and am worried it may wreck the inner sleeve.
Nice to see you back @ChelsB !
Thanks !

Yesterday I ran a few new attys though the ultrasonic cleaner with alcohol and dish soap. The soak I did without the UC didn't get all the machine oil out back when I bought them.

They all came out squeaky clean with no machine oil taste. The Kayfun Mini V3 is probably my favorite.

The Merlin isn't bad, but it has ticky airflow and juice flow adjustments. Airflow stays where you put it once you tighten the atty on the mod, but juice control floats around with handling.

The Kayfun V5 is much better better designed than the Merlin. Everything stays where you put it.

I'm playing with all three and vaping them here and there, but I have no plans to ditch the Kayfun Lite Plus V2. :)

Stainless steel is the ONLY wire I would use in T C.

no problem.

as I said my Bridge partner Joy T just about twisted my arm to plop down $110 to get the shingles shot.

I saw what she went through so I have a good idea what you are going through

My body hurts and I still have blisters:( I feel like someone is kicking my ribs.
I have every sympathy - my husband described it as having broken ribs rubbing together all the time. I do hope you're over the worst of it and feeling better soon.

I can’t even wear a bra because it hurts. Loose tee shirts is all I can handle right now.

My bad, is it not glass? Everything I saw seemed to indicate it was, except the manufacturer's website which didn't list anything.... Sorry if I'm incorrect.

Anna

The Ego One Mega V2 is glass. Can't speak to any other versions.
