Interactions between tobacco weight, tobacco composition, tobacco format, heating temperature, puffing parameters, etc., all contribute to the total emission levels.
Per experiment, one Vype ePen was vaped (puffed) at the same puffing parameters as the cigarette but with a square wave profile instead of bell.
The cigarettes were smoked under two different puffing regimes, one using the puffing parameters of the conventional International Organization for Standardization ISOO) smoking regime and a more intense smoking condition.
As we can see here, the puffing parameters (specifically the puff duration and square profile instead of bell) and voltage settings play a significant role in aerosol nicotine delivery.
It is dependent on the product design, and puffing parameters including puffing rate/duration/volume. Nevertheless, the absorption of nicotine is reported as considerably less than conventional "combustion-based" counterpart products.
Cigarettes may be smoked in many ways by varying puffing parameters, such as puff duration or volume, which will change the composition of the resulting smoke in quantitative terms.
Unlike the ratio, the slope appears to depend only on the concentration of the nicotine in the blend and does not appear to vary with smoking parameters such as puff volume, puff interval or length smoked or with cigarette design parameters such as length, circumference or the amount of filtration or filter ventilation.
Both puff topography and design parameters can affect this evaporation process.
In this study, both mainstream aerosols and heating coil temperature were measured concurrently to study the effects of design parameters and puff topography.
These results provide a better understanding of how EC emissions are affected by design parameters and puff topography and emphasize the urgent need to better regulate EC products.
