PG is used in so many medical applications it âoebreaking downâ doesnâ(TM)t seem to be a problem in those applications. There may be some specific cases where this is an issue but Iâ(TM)d suspect it has more to do with the metal in the coil if it ever actually converts.
There is certainly a lot of confusion in the market.
I should also point out that most quality eliquid is going to have little or no PG in it, glycerine is the preferred carrier.
The bigger concern is actually the coil material that heats the liquid. There is no regulation with the coil material and the coil breaking down due to temperature or chemical wear and tear (from some acidic flavorings) will actually make pitting in the coil, meaning those are being vaporized into heavy metals.
Something like stainless steel is an ideal coil for not breaking down.
Itâ(TM)s an industry that is young, so knowledge is powerful. With some proper advancements in legislation and technology much of the negative aspects can be minimized, making vape a much better nicotine delivery system for overall health than a burining amonia soaked leaf with flame control additives.
Hard to say if it will make it as an industry.
