Formaldehyde in vape juice! Hype vs TRUTH!

[GBalkam]

SO ok, yes, Formaldehyde can form (well actually, formaldehyde-releasing agents) can form from heating vape juice. What news paper headline do not say, is that formaldehyde-releasing agents is not formaldehyde. Nor do they disclose the temperature required to form these agents. This article by By Dr Farsalinos explains a lot about the conditions required to create these agents.

The deception of measuring formaldehyde in e-cigarette aerosol: the difference between laboratory measurements and true exposure

To paraphrase, you would have a dry hit effect, with a very hot vape and unbearable taste. But what is not mentioned, is how much formaldehyde or agents are produced at normal operating levels. Even cloud chasers are affected by these limitations. You can't blow a cloud if you are coughing out a lung.

We know. This topic has been beat to death along with the debunking of the junk science behind it.

Yep, agree. Literally beaten and whipped and kicked. Yet still, even within the last 2 weeks, yet another so called medical expert is, I think, copy and pasting crap he found on the internet, probably from a 3 year old forum post, and leaving out little details. Just small ones, like being able to roast a marshmallow over the coils from the actual amount of heat required to oxidize ejuice. Being a long time blogger and owning several of my own forums, one fact remains, if you want people to get a message, you have to keep a fresh thread going. Most info about vaping is new to me, though probably not to many members on here. Now, being new does give me a slight advantage. I'm asking questions and finding answers that other new people will be looking for. For example, after I stopped smoking tobacco, and start vaping instead, will i notice any difference? It took me less than 24 hours to notice a difference. Mostly in my respiration. Im a big guy, and not as young as i used to be. When you get short winded getting into bed or walking 2 blocks to the store, and then suddenly you don't (after switching to vape) you tend to notice. Although it did upset my wife.. now sometimes i can catch her when I'm chasing her around the bed. LOL. Now if only I could find a juice that helps improve my typing, i'll be golden!
