Dry buffs are essential for formaldehyde and E-cigs

In several debates about formaldehyde in e-cigs, the "dry puff" effect is the key aspect. As the name means, you attempt to vaporize if there is not enough solvent in the wick. We can first look at what happens during ordinary vaping to explain this.

When you have plenty of fluid in your wick and trigger the bob, the resistance of the bobbin transforms energy into flame, which is released by the bobbin. This energy is consumed by the solvent in your wick and it vaporizes it. The e-liquid vaporization process involves heat, and this holds the temperature down.

Then what if the wick doesn't have enough liquid? The heat is still produced, but the vaporization and the temperature are considerably less liquid. The wick and spiral get heater and this additional heat "overcooks" the PG and VG and gives them ample energy to obtain reactions and convert them into formaldehyde, acrolein and other chemical substances, as stated in the last section.

For a vaper, the most remarkable thing about a dry puff is that it tastes bad. The scent of your e-juice seems to diminish at first, but then it becomes nasty. The concern is not so much the taste, but rather the feeling of stinging, nearly burning as you inhale formaldehyde and the like chemicals. It's unbelievably unpleasant, so no vapors like this.

If your voltage or wattage setting is too high, one of the most known problems causing droughty puffs, it may also occur in a somewhat different manner. If you puff too frequently, for example, the wick does not have enough time to fill up, and that would create the same problem. This is particularly probable for a top-coil atomizer configuration. Too little juice or a too viscous juice (i.e. a high VG blend) can also create the same problem.

There is some formaldehyde in electronic cigarette vapor, whether or not it is a dry puff. Dry puffs boost the level significantly, but formaldehyde also remains in usual circumstances. Chemically, certain molecules still have ample energy to undergo the reaction. Raising the temperature only increases the average molecular energy which makes the reaction more regular.

The proof on e-cigs and formaldehyde

Now we have addressed why you could get dry puffs when you vapour, and why in non-dry puff cases you might get some formaldehyde, now's the time to dig at what the studies have discovered.

In one of the first studies in 2013 that recorded e-cigarette formaldehyde concentrations, the number of toxicants and carcinogenic products in e-cig vapor was commonly observed to be 9 to 450 times below that of traditional cigarettes, if any at all. Although several differences were observed between various instruments, the formaldehyde amount was on average 0.189 μg per puff. 1 μg or 0.000001 g is 0.001 mg.

In the Igor Burstyn study on chemistry of e-cig vapor, several early experiments with evidence on the formaldehyde levels of e-cigarettes are summarized. This research contrasts the findings with the occupational limits for exposure to these chemicals, and has shown that vapor exposures, even for formaldehyde, are typically well below these limits.

E-cigarette formaldehyde: the truth without apprehension

Stories such as these have been the headlines over the last week, raising confusion about the dangers of e-cigarettes by many smokers. The chemicals in question are aldehydes, and formaldehyde is both the most known and nearest example for vaporization. The question has been posed several times before with study results of elevated amounts of formaldehyde, but only in very particular conditions which do not demonstrate how vapors fly in the real world. The current study appears to escape this pit, but whether they really did it is unlikely and it is best to analyze all of the evidence rather than just one study before drawing any conclusions.

The big question is should you be concerned in e-cigarettes in general about formaldehyde? Could this say e-cigs aren't as healthy as they seem to be? Could this mean the e-cigs are going to cause you cancer? Is the Sun right to kill the vapor?

What does formaldehyde mean?

First of all, what is anyone talking about? First of all? Formaldehyde is all around, some clothes, some fruit (such as pears), some in material such as platelets, glues and adhesives. It is the simplest chemical of "aldehyde" in the composition CH(2)O. You may develop symptoms such as burning sensations in your respiratory and lungs, cough and skin irritation when you are exposed to a large amount of it over 0,1 part per million).

E-cigarette formaldehyde: Where does it come from?

Formaldehyde was found in E-cig vapor (more soon), which seems to be a big source of propylene glycol. The answer to a Stack Exchange question is well (detailed), but the short version is that PG will degrade to formaldehyde as part of an incomplete combustion reaction. The thermal degradation (heat-related) is essential for the amount of formaldehyde that comes from PG. Similarly, VG can also degrade into acrolein.

Research has supported the position of PG in particular. For eg, a research (which we will explore soon) looks at a liquid based on PG, a liquid based on VG and a combination of PG/VG at various voltages to see how much they emitted aldehydes. The findings showed that only those which contain PG produced a lot of formaldehyde with the most development of PG/VG blends. The e-liquid based on VG hardly emitted any formaldehyde.

As a side note, some vapors I see in comment sections give the idea that the formaldehyde is produced by brominating cotton, but this seems to be due to some misunderstanding about the particular factor during a dry buff that is responsible. When burning cotton during a dry puff happens (or at least may be the major question is the temperature of the liquid.

For less moisture in the wick, the heat energy provided by the wick is consumed less so the temperature rises. This temperature drives the reactions already in the wick in PG and VG. Clearly this is not related to cotton since the most common analysis for formaldehyde detection didn't even use a cotton wick unit. That said however, cotton burning still tastes unpleasant and is still not healthy to breathe.

The latest formaldehyde analysis in e-cigs also points out that some formaldehyde (and related chemicals such as acetaldehyde) can be produced from e-juice flavorings. Many popular tastes are based on aldehydes and the authors explain how some of them react in vaporization and formaldehyde. The findings of the recent research tend to be very positive of this When an e-juice is diluted to PG and VG, the amount of formaldehyde released during vaporization has reduced.

E-cigarette or Vapor Mod Not Vapor Production? What will I do here?

Very few vapor problems are as irritating as an utterly unsatisfactory e-cig or mod. You push the fire button or take a pot and nothing. Nothing. There are several possible explanations why your electric cigarette does not generate steam but it can be broken down into problems with your batteries, networking problems, problems with your tank and road-blocks on a mod by the app. In general, without taking a fix vapor store or finding a new unit, you can fix the problem, but if it works, it could be a more severe problem.

Here is all the stuff to try out before giving up, broken down by the problem form on your vaping unit.

Mod No Vapor Production: Battery Problems

If you don't fire your unit, it could be because your battery doesn't give your coil power. If this is a small concern, it is the obvious cause for a vapor deficiency and is the easiest to fix. However, serious battery problems tend to mean that you need a backup.

The apparent causes: Turn on, recharge and setup

Your system is not turning on, your battery is not charged or your wattage is too poor, the clearest issues that might lead to an e-cig not firing. Most systems trigger the fire with three to five quick clicks, so try first – usually an LED flashes or the light is turned on so that you can see when the fire is on. If that isn't functioning, the battery can be drained, then consider plugging the computer into an adapter (for mods with built-in or on-board batteries), or disabling the battery and charging separately (for devices with removable batteries).

In the end, something might be good with your battery, but your wattage is too poor to generate a significant amount of vapor. Switch to higher and try again.

Does your loader work?

If the battery doesn't emit vapor, but doesn't charge, the charger itself may well be a concern rather than the battery. Try it with the same computer or battery if you have a spare adapter. If you have a backup battery and computer, use a new battery in your device to see if this works.

Scenario with worst cases: The battery is dead

Unfortunately, your battery could be dead if your charger operates and the fault does not appear to lay with the unit itself. All the batteries quit functioning over time and if you found that your battery did not hold the charge as well, it might be the cause of the problem. Only buy a new one so you can upgrade your charger. Unfortunately, a dead battery means that you need a brand-new vapor pen or mod for computers with built-in batteries.

Mod Not Vapor Production: Relation problems

If the problem is not your battery, this doesn't actually mean that your battery receives power as you attempt to activate the device. Any connection-related faults can be at fault for your lack of steam and these are normally easy enough to repair. The tell-tale indication of the link problem is that your mod or computer is turned on, but does not remember your spin or throw an error message like no atomizer."

Is all properly screwed?

You can quickly repair the problem if anything is not correctly screwed on. Second, and most importantly, ensure that your tank is safely linked to your 510 mod link. You don't even need to tighten it down, just make sure it is snug and not just loose on the mod.

A less apparent connection issue, though, might be to blame: the connection between your coil head and your tank. When you mount or replace the coil, you rip it in place, and this could not have been done properly. For eg, if the thread is crossed, the base of the bobble head cannot make full contact with the tank. Similarly, the coil may be loosened from the tank over time particularly if the tank top or the base to be filled is screwed off. Check the spiral, detach it and squirt it again and then try to steam again.
