Chemical characterisation of the vapour emitted by an e-cigarette using a ceramic wick-based technology - Scientific Reports

Fourth-generation ‘pod’ e-cigarette devices have been driven by technological advances in electronic atomization of the e-liquid. Use of microporous ceramic as a wicking material improves heating efficiency, but how it affects the chemical emissions of these devices is unclear. We assessed the...

Were you able to extrapolate from the data, at what temperature did PG and VG break down and increase acr and toxicity levels? I see the comparison of ceramic to other materials but not the temperature splits...

Fantastic research find, thanks for sharing!

Dihydroxyacetone levels in electronic cigarettes: Wick temperature and toxin formation

Recently, we reported the presence of dihydroxyacetone (DHA), the active ingredient in sunless tanners, in the aerosol of an electronic cigarette. DHA has been shown to react with DNA in vitro. The...
