You cared enough to post some pseudo-science bullshit. So either don't give a fuck and don't post, or care enough to read what your posting.

Give a CPU too much voltage and it'll fail before it goes up in flames. I'm about 99% sure you know this, you're not stupid, which means you're just being obtuse.

Few things in this world kill more people than cigarettes. Its such a common cause of death that people are numb to it. Vaping should be advocated for, even by those who don't care to vape themselves. Millions and millions of people, literally saved from a life of poor quality and early death. That is the magnitude of what vaping products have to offer.

A lot of things can take a lot more voltage than the "spec" states, and you damned well know that. It was proven in the article since the device didn't fail.

You also know that NEJM doesn't engage in "pseudo-science". It wasn't a peer reviewed article, but it isn't bullshit either. The facts are as stated. What they didn't account for is the vapor apparently tastes like shit at that high a temperature. Otherwise, it's absolutely accurate, unless you're insinuating they're cooking data. You'll have to post some proof of that, and I'm sure NEJM would interested in your study.

The device failed to function. It stopped producing vapor. Instead, it was burning the wicking material and giving off a combination of superheated juice residue and smoke.
Anytime the wick gets dry and you continue to fire the device, that is a functional failure and requires you to replace the wick or install a new atomizer head. They burnt it out and damaged it.

50% I'm not aware of many thing that will function properly with that much extra voltage by design. They operated the device in a manner so far outside of normal use it is certainly in the realm of pseudo science.

It's akin to feeding an animal a significant portion of it's body weight in a substance (100s of times higher than normal use), then saying "HOLY SHIT IT GOT CANCER". I believe it was saccharin that got that treatment, but I could be wrong.

It's an inherently flawed study because the methodology is shit. I don't care if the sky opened up and jesus came down from the heavens with this report, it's flawed because no one uses the devices under those settings.
