"Goniewicz’s research was funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the National Cancer Institute. Goniewicz also reported he received grants from pharmaceutical companies that manufacture smoking cessation drugs and has served on advisory boards for some of these companies."

Even know there is conflicts of interest this scientist is known to put out some pretty legit info on vaping over the years.

Nicotine carrier PG-only or Unknown (Which is no doubt PG Only)

I wonder if the results would have been different if the added High VG or Max VG eliquid versions?

Strawberry:
Nic Content: 24
Ingredients:
Benzyl alcohol 100-51-6 Alcohol
γ-Decalactone 706-14-9 Cyclic ester
Methyl cinnamate 1754-62-7 Ester

It's also odd that they chose a strawberry flavor that uses Methyl cinnamate when it is already known that cinnamon is more toxic then other flavors.
