Unhappy with paper by Dr. Farsalinos

In case you haven't noticed, i have co-authored with Polosa a review paper focusing on safety issues, and with more detailed presentation of evidence and misonceptions.
It is available with free access to the full text on pubmed.
Safety evaluation and risk assessment of electronic cigarettes as tobacco cigarette substitutes: a systematic review

There were many times when I’d light the dang thing and never take another hit off of it before stubbing it out.

I didn't have that problem when I started rolling my own. They would go out instead of buring up.

I concur with the self regulate observation. I smoked a lot less when rolling my own v/s pre-made.
And some tobaccos I consumed much less of than others. Had a turkish tobacco once that I'd take 3-4 hits and put it out. Great taste, not harsh, just didn't want any more.

I'm finding similar result with extracted tobacco flavors v/s the lab flavors.
24mg/mL NET hits like no lab flavor ever did. I can chain vape the lab stuf all day with nothing. 3 hits of a NET and it's like the first smoke in the morning or after a long plane flight. Something in the extract changes the effects.

Nope. I rather like this paper.
