Managed to get to the report through a different link direct at the uni...Yay

so they are using Vapouriz, Dekang, Nicolite and maybe Aulola (not heard of any of these guys personally) Sourced from
Amazon UK: e-cigarette refills.
Superdrug, Manchester, UK: Nicolite refills
I also noted they didn't trial VG in their method notes? If these are pre made no way they are running 100% PG? Or did I miss that somewhere
Suffice to say the flavours used didn't perform well. Whilst this study is thourough (ignoring my earlier comments apologies again) the intro sections definitely are worrying to read, I still cant help but think how does this compare to DIY where you are sourcing the ingredients and putting them in yourself ...if they do that one next that would be awesome especially using the well known flavour brands like FA, TFA, INW, FW, CAP etc
Also try different mods and tanks
I know you can only test a finite amount but what needs to happen is someone somewhere needs to start piecing this evidence together to put a safety net around consumers buying this stuff
More and more we are seeing higher wattage mods coming out, new flavours left right and centre, tanks using up to 10 coils (questionable) there needs to be a line in the sand that shouldn't be crossed for the mass market. These guys whether we like it or not are in it for the money. Whilst I have no doubt vaping is better than smoking, it's early days and left unregulated the market is in free for all mode where a few will spoil it for the many ...so rooting them out and banning them can only be a good thing
