Propylene glycol is used as a carrier for many intravenous medicines.

Chances are if you've been to the ER or hospitalized they have injected PG directly in to your veins.

This study has to do with formaldehyde gas created from the metals in the coils using much higher voltage than an e cig uses.

At the normal voltage NO formaldehyde was found+

It's not just propylene glycol in them....but go ahead....keep trying to justify man made chemicals as acceptable over naturally produced products.

My intent is not to defend e-cigs. There is a lot unknown

I'm only referring to the story in the OP and formaldehyde and the misconceptions about PG.

I've vaped for over 3 years and have always had worries. I wish there were more studies but there aren't. So far all the studies show no harm so I feel a bit more comfortable.

Tobacco is a known. I know my grandmother smoked until her death at 87--no cancer My father has smoke since he was 14 and he is 77 today--no cancer.

I quit tobacco for money reasons and I was tired of smelling like an ash tray.

If they end up taxing e-cigs as a tobacco product like they want to I'll go back to cigs..

I thought this would be a spirited discussion..because we do know some things...1)we really don't have proven unbiased long term research on the use of e-cigarettes.....
2)Tobacco companies are losing market shares to this comptetition...although they are getting in the game albeit a bit late.
3)Government certainly cannot allow you to enjoy a demonized product without taxing the living shit out of you for allowing you the privilege of enjoying it.

In the last 6 months of 2013, there were 242 new flavors of e-cigarettes released per month. Currently, there are over 7,500 different flavors of e-cigs. And while this particular segment of the smoking industry is still in its infancy, little research has been done on the hazards of inhaling all of these flavors.

Regarding formaldehyde

The study found NO formaldehyde in the normal 3v-4v range.

The most recent study referring to formaldehyde was done as 5 volts. Nobody vapes at 5v. Most batteries being used today run in the 3.3v-3.7v- range

Formaldehyde gas is naturally occurring. It happens in greater amounts when metal is heated up(in this case at 5v) it gives it off.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 66544502


I vape a sub ohm coil at 30 watts. The voltage reading I get from this setup is 4.3V. So you're right, you'd have to be hitting a custom build with crazy power and super low resistance.

Look at it this way.

I smoked 3 packs of cigs a day. It was $14.93 EVERY SINGLE DAY for a looooonnnnggggg time. So now that I vape I save roughly $450 a MONTH and I don't feel like an elephant is sitting on my chest.

I don't care about getting cancer. I care about saving $450 a month and not feeling like shit.

I believe there is more tar exposure with the e-cigs.

So if it is the tar that causes cancer, then yes it is probably legit.

I do find it interesting that many ecigs sites state that there is no tar but I used to be a dental hygienist and saw the staining first hand. That said, maybe they have changed them because that was about 6-8 years ago.

You do realize that an e-cig is essentially a fog machine (literally) with a flavor added and usually nicotine. There should be no tar since nothing organic actually burned.

There is zero tar production from ecigs.

If they were invented in America this wouldn't be an issue.

Tobacco helped build this nation, going up against them is like battling oil companies.

The effects of inhaling PG have been researched for decades and is FDA approved for inhalation. It's the carrier in asthma inhalers, and was used in air ducts as a germicide prior to UV light.

It's all propaganda. Believe what you will.
