Vaping Survey: Moffitt Center

[Spazmelda]

I did the Geneva study, and I haven't gotten my results back yet.

 

[meanckz]

gonna have to do it from home
emailed it to myself

 

[Spazmelda]

Oh, I thought it said cartridges per week. I put 6! Yikes. I use about 3 ml a day. I should have put that in the comments.

Oh, I went back and did the survey again (only up to this question) and it did say cartridges per week. I had answered more than 5, so I guess that's about as accurate as I can get. I still wish I'd left a comment about ml/day.

Done and Bump.

Under the brand of ecigs, I entered Provari under other. If they Google it maybe that will make them realize that there's more to vaping than Gas Station brands.

Several side notes here...

The Moffitt Center is an absolutely awesome organization!

When I spoke with the contact phone lady (undergrad, I presume), I did mention that the survey could be improved with a bit more refinement. Since she was a contact person, she had no concept of my intentions.

The Moffitt survey is ever so much like all the others I've completed (including the Swiss survey to which I 'donated' my saliva for data evaluation). Puffs per day, carts vs. cigs & etc. are kinda meaningless when it comes down to those that are experienced and hardcore.

I have no idea if the comment sections have an impact. But I do utilize 'em!

Nonetheless, I'm glad that I can contribute to the research!

I also used the comments section to suggest they contact CASAA, Bill Godshaw and Dr. Michael Siegel. I hope they are serious about expanding their vaping knowledge.

In the comments section, I told them their "how many cartridges" question was difficult to answer for many vapers who don't use cartridges and that a more appropriate question would be "how many milliliters of e-liquid do you consume. (If you use cartridges, assume 1 cartridge = 1 ml.)" Also pointed out in the brand question 1. that "ego" is not a brand, and that 2. they could have at least included some "advanced" brands such as Joyetech, Smok, Provari, etc.

All in all, though, a good survey despite the obvious fact that no vaper participated in designing the questions.

I'll definitely do this later after work.....

i struggled with "how many cartridges a day do you use".

T

I gave that a and a and went for the highest number. Hopefully they'll figure it out. I suspect they were expecting 99% of the responses to be from people using small PVs and that's probably the case until a few of us respond.

Done. Interesting survey, but could definitely use some updating. Definitely utilize the comments section.

Question, Iffy.. have you gotten your results back from them ( if you requested it?) I haven't, that's why I was curious. Thanks!

I did the Geneva study, and I haven't gotten my results back yet.

I haven't received my results. Considering the time lapse twix their survey and the sample tube mailing, I don't expect results anytime soon. Just glad that they're conducting the study.

Good point. I don't even remember when I took that survey, but when the envelope with the sample collection vial arrived I was completely confused. I had totally forgotten about it.

Done and used the comments section vigorously!

 

[meanckz]

How confident are you that you could stop using e-cigarettes if/when you wish to stop?

Completely confident. My wife has cigarettes in the freezer.

Answered: not confident

Lets see if we can get some more people to fill out the survey.

 

[glointhedark]

Done. Thanks for posting.

 

[wv2win]

Done. Thanks for posting.

Let's hope it helps spreads the truth about the importance of vaping.

 

[wv2win]

bump for more members to take the survey.

 

[Pyrate]

Done. Pretty comprehensive survey. Though some questions were vague or hard to answer correctly (ie- How many Cartridges per day).
Still, hope it provides useful information
