💨 A UC Riverside study found that heavily used high-puff e-cigarettes may contain significantly higher levels of harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, methylglyoxal (MGO), and glyoxal (GO) compared to fresh devices.

🔬 Researchers analyzed used disposable vape liquids and found toxic aldehydes increased with prolonged use, with MGO showing 10 to 100 times more toxicity than acetaldehyde on human lung cells.

⚠️ Experts advise caution with high-puff devices, especially as they near the end of their lifespan, as puff count directly impacts chemical exposure.
