Read at the end of the original study (there is a direct link on the article): "This study is supported by the Cigarette Restitution Fund (State of Maryland; grant PHPA-G2034)."

"The team tested liquids in the refilling dispensers from 56 Baltimore area vapers and found potentially unsafe levels of arsenic, chromium, manganese, nickel and lead."

We should start with this fact then go from there:

As long as you aren't using Big Tobacco's gas station shit cigilike (99.9% of you are not) then this is a non issue.

That may not be as clear-cut as you think because the participants were recruited from "from vaping conventions and e-cigarette shops around Baltimore". So chances are the gear and liquids involved were not gas-station cigalike crap.

However, I think there's a high likelyhood that many of the participants were using "factory" coil assemblies and tanks made of the finest Chinese mystery metal.

Then there's also Dr. F's opinion:
For those asking questions about the latest study on metal emissions from e-cigarettes, here is my comment:
The "significant amount" of metals the authors reported they found were measured in ug/kg. In fact they are so low that for some cases (chromium and lead) I calculated that you need to vape more than 100 ml per day in order to exceed the FDA limits for daily intake from inhalational medications. The authors once again confuse themselves and everyone else by using environmental safety limits related to exposure with every single breath, and apply them to vaping. However, humans take more than 17,000 (thousand) breaths per day but only 400-600 puffs per day from an e-cigarette.

Agreed. Cheap devices with questionable materials inside that leech into the juice is likely the culprit. Poor quality wire, lead solder between resistance wire and non resistance wire, or possibly just assembled in a filthy factory that's covered in various heavy metal dusts.

I have a somewhat hard time believing an all stainless and glass atty, with stainless coils and cotton or even rayon wicking is somehow introducing lead and arsenic into my vapor... And we know it's not in the juice we're buying from North American manufacturers.
