The tests involve 17 cigarette smoke-related analytes during vaporization of vape liquid from ELFA’s pods in four flavors, including Super Tobacco, Spearmint, Strawberry Ice and Watermelon.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

Chromium, aluminum, iron, and tin are partly found at low traceable levels in certain pods.In these tests, estimated exposure levels for detectable metals, including lead, chromium, nickel, aluminum, iron, and tin, were well below the safety thresholds by the US Pharmacopeia and the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.Overall, the metal exposure from ELFA aerosols was minimal and therefore is not considered to pose a toxicological concern under the conditions of evaluation.Up to 99.9%* lower levels of carbonylsFormaldehyde and acetaldehyde, two well-recognized carcinogens, were approximately 99.6% to 99.9% lower in ELFA aerosols than in cigarette smoke. Although both compounds were detected across the four ELFA pods, they were present at very low levels, and well below the safety thresholds.“Many adult smokers misperceive vaping as being as harmful as, or more harmful than smoking, and such misconception continues to raise a barrier to cessation. At ELFBAR, we believe transparent, science-based research is essential to helping adult users make informed choices during the whole process of their transition away from combustible tobacco,” the spokesperson added.ELFA features a next-generation iron-chromium-aluminum alloy mesh heating coil, a key component that vaporizes the e-liquid. This part reduces exposure to harmful constituents compared with cotton and ceramic coil-equipped devices, with much lower risk than cigarette smoke.* Page 3: For the remaining two non-metal analytes (formaldehyde and acetaldehyde), both of which are also found in the WHO TobReg proposal, formaldehyde was reduced by between 99.6% and 99.9%, and acetaldehyde was reduced by between 99.7% and 99.9%, depending on the flavor being assessed.ELFBAR is a pioneer in the global vaping industry. Since its inception in 2018, it has been providing a distinct and diverse vaping experience with innovation at its core.ELFBAR stays committed to youth access prevention and sustainable growth as a leading brand favoured and used by tens of millions of adult smokers and ex-smokers worldwide as an alternative to smoking.For more information, please visit elfbar.comView source version on businesswire.com: This advertisement has not loaded yet.Notice for the Postmedia NetworkThis website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.
