I remember there being a study years ago where they even went so far as to heat it until the wicking material (cotton iirc) started to burn then claimed vapes contain the chemicals that were created by the combustion (if you let your vape go dry or you hold the button way too long it’s disgusting, nobody would vape like that all the time). The cigarette industry has no morals and will fund anyone who will publish their dodgy “research”.
That was the formaldehyde study, although the study that found VG broke down into Dihydroxyacetone did the same thing. Their starting wattage was the max recommended for the coil they used, and that coil was a CE4 style cart.
It’s not only the cigarette industry it’s also the pharmaceutical industry.
When I vaped (I quit 5 years ago) we were generally warned against using cotton, Silica was by far the most popular when I quit smoking and switched to vaping around 15 years ago. Silica was generally considered more safe.
Yes I remember such a study too, machine vaping in a room with no people, I can’t even begin to imagine the stink it must have caused.
Yet another obviously extremely incompetent or dishonest study. Probably the latter IMO.

Iirc the formaldehyde study used silica wicks, they just fired the carts for 90 seconds.
