Accuracy of commercial electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) temperature control technology.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

For electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), also commonly called e-cigarettes, coil temperature is a factor in the potential production of toxic chemical constituents. However, data are lacking regarding the temperatures that are achieved in the latest generation of these devices. Fourth-generation ENDS are capable of producing heating coil temperatures well above e-liquid boiling points, and allow the user to monitor and set the heating coil temperature during a puff. In this study, we evaluate the accuracy and consistency of the temperature measurement and control settings for different brands of fourth-generation ENDS.

Methods

A study was performed using three commercially available, fourth-generation ENDS. The atomizer coil temperatures were obtained from
