    I bet it’s because they overheat the e-juice

    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”.

      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.
