Particle delivery appears to depend on the nicotine level in the e-cigarette fluid but not the presence of flavors.
Tin, which appeared to originate from solder joints, was found as both particles and tin whiskers in the fluid and Poly-fil, and e-cigarette fluid containing tin was cytotoxic to human pulmonary fibroblasts.
The nicotine that is in many e-cigarette fluids can be addictive, and while their vapor does not produce the carcinogenic tar of traditional cigarette smoke, it may contain other chemicals that might be harmful to the lungs.
Many household fumes are also dangerous to conures, such as bleach, shoe polish, paints, insecticides, air fresheners, hairspray, overheated Teflon, formaldehyde, pest fumigation, cigarettes, lighter fluid, paint thinner, household cleaners, acetone, etc.

Puffing on the e-cigarette vaporizes the fluid, allowing for the appearance of a "vape" which is delivered to the airways and from there across the lung alveoli into the circulatory system.
