Voltage Mods is Risky!!!

[soulskin]

Beware of Voltage mode mates, high volts and temperatures releases formaldehyde-compounds which increases your risk to cancer up to 5 - 15 times more than long term cigarette smoking. Look it up...and be carefull guys.

 

[ckquatt]

That study has been debunked a million times... Look it up.

 

[soulskin]

The only debunking I've seen is that most vapourisors don't exceed the voltage high enough to cause the formation, but the voltages most guys mention here is way higher than the one's in the reviews. I've only been vaping for 4 days since quitting 40+ cigarettes a day, so trying to get as much info researched as possible while glued to my vapour ........lol

 

[ckquatt]

Here. I'll help you. What they did was dry burn a wick and coil basically and get the readings from that. You can dry burn a coil at 3.7 volts and get the same readings.

formaldehyde is released when the atty is over heated and DRY.

So they spent all that money to learn what we already knew, dry hits are bad.

Here's another one. Read some more!

Umm, I don't have personal experience w/ them, but from the impression I got, the device they used - a top-coil CE4 atomizer - was the issue since the 9W created "dry puff conditions" and I'll have to surmise the top coil part's the part couldn't keep up with the power. Since. The gear used my most folk here that push past 15W are designed with higher power in mind- bottom feeders, etc. No one here- I'll assume- enjoys dry puffs and no one here's reporting dry puffing for pleasure, but people are still pushing the power, meaning the "discovered" formaldehydes aren't being released. But that's just my thinking.

 

[juggler86]

few if any devices can produce the voltage they used in those studies. People dont use CE4s at 100+ watts either, which is what you would need to do to get to 14volts. So ya the study might be true, but isnt something anybody would do.

Be careful breathing into other people's faces as well, since the human body produces formaldehyde which is then expelled via respiration. http://www.americanchemistry.com/Pr...ms-with-EPAs-Formaldehyde-Risk-Assessment.pdf

I can't remember the last time I got a dry hit--and if I did, I build my own coils wicked with cotton so no burnt plastic.

I heard that if that amount of formaldehyde was coming out of the ecig that you wouldn't even be able to inhale it because its so toxic.

Soul skin, welcome to ECF . It's great that you want to learn as much as you can about vaping. We all do! But do try to research the research ... As you can see, many of the "studies" that have been done present very slanted findings, designed to support the anti-vaping point of view. I think many of us believe that vaping is not 100% safe, but we also believe that it is a much better alternative to analogs. Keep reading, and best of luck to you with your vaping journey.

Be careful of that new car small, new carpet, new furniture! It is the same thing..

 

[soulskin]

Wow...thanx for he replies mates, I cant comment on the subject further tho as a moderator sent me a warning for spamming/trolling/forcing opinion for this post. Very odd as I thought forums are for discussions not post and shut up. Or maybe this post was offensive, sorry if it was tho.

 

[soulskin]

How much am I allowed to post on a thread? Anyone know?

 

[Swordsbeer]

Well first have the facts to back up your claim I would say, like a link or something.
The cig companies and drug makers like to post half arssed crap to support their own interest, which is revenue.

 

[tj99959]

If you bother to read the study closely,you just might notice that no formaldehyde was released. Only the elements that produce formaldehyde through an unrelated process were produced.

I can't remember the last time I got a dry hit--and if I did, I build my own coils wicked with cotton so no burnt plastic.

Formaldehyde is produced when burning many organic materials not just plastic.

This is not about voltage. Voltage is just one side of what makes something hot or not. Amperage is the other. Without one or the other, there is no electricity. You can get - say 100 watts - with a 1 volt at 100 amp - or with a 10 volt at 10 amp.

Let me make a comparison: Let's design an imaginary machine that makes fries, "eats" them and analyses them for potentially harmful substances. Be it a perfectly fried fry or a fry burnt to a black little lump of charred something - which contains acrylamide and probably a whole host of other questionable substances. The machine would do this happily; regardless of which you feed it. All the while spitting out concerning numbers on levels of substances humans shouldn't ingest. No sane human with sensory system intact would eat the charred bits. You would spit it out - like you would with "charred" vapor.

These "studies" tell us little more than that machines using e-cigs may produce formaldehyde.

All of this has been discussed in numerous threads on this forum. Here is the latest thread: Brace yourselves new Formaldehype junk study to be released Jan 21
