Nevertheless, the results do suggest that FDA safety standards related to the maximum allowable voltage or coil temperature may be warranted.

The correlation to voltage is really bad. You can't spec a "safe" vape by restricting voltage. I can build you a coil that will produce aldehydes at 3V, and one that won't at 6V.

Coil temperature is a much better indicator, but even that isn't ideal. PG/VG ratio and efficiency of wicking also play a big role.

In the end, what Dr. Siegel is unfortunately (and perhaps unknowingly) arguing for here is closed systems, where the manufacturer controls all the variables.

I really like Dr. Siegel, one of the few who has stood up for good research and denounced the false claims of the anti-vaping big tobacco funded misleading "results" nonsense that's been published. Everything you said is true Rossum, we just need to educate these guys with the facts you state.
