I've been vaping for 11 days and I still cheat on analogs a few times a day. I'm going to try a higher nicotine liquid and order an herbal convection vaporizer and if I ever want to cheat, try puffing on that. I smoke an unfiltered high nicotine rustica tobacco and am surprised I'm able to go well into the day before I give in and roll one. The morning one always seemed like the hardest one to avoid.

Fascinating that through my research into herbal vaporizers, I found out the melting boiling and flash temperature points of PG and VG. How electronic cigarettes work Had my first experience tonight trying to vape out of a dry carto and found it quite disgusting. The acrolein thing spooks me, is that something to fear only if I use a lr atomizer?

Anyway, there's a new portable herb vaporizer which uses stacked rcr batteries, If I do get that one, I'll be careful and not charge them unattended. Thanks to the awareness of a recent tragedy in the e-cig community, I found out that batteries sometimes explode. Here is a chart that shows the vaporization temperatures of tobacco and other herbs.

Hi. I read some surmised info that under normal circumstances, an atty should not produce any acrolein. Seems to me that the temperatures needed are in question, and whether or not there needs to be a catalyst also.

I don't like to go very high with my wattage because of that concern, as I use VG. I get fine results with 2.6 ohms at 3.7v.

FYI, cigarette smoke contains a fair bit of acrolein, as I recall reading.

Also, I thought I'd point out something that you may find interesting, if you haven't seen it:

I wouldn't recommend WTA unless plain nicotine is just not working after given some time.

Those herbal vaporizers do look pretty cool, though. I'd look for a nice tobacco without all of the crap additives.
