Discussion
A HAUS Personal Vaporizor starter kit along with American Blend e-liquid by Mystic, were
purchased at a local drugstore.
A 40 mL vial was extracted of gas and prefilled with 20 mL of ethanol.
A 60 cc syringe and parafilm were used to create a simple smoking device.
The smoking device was then used to mimic a puff of the PV by a consumer.
The device was operated manually to activate the heating element of the HAUS PV, and trap
the aerosol in the syringe.
The syringe was then pulled away from the PV and was used to quickly shoot the aerosol into
the 40 mL vial.
An Agilent 7820A GC attached to Agilent 5975 MSD was used for PV aerosol analysis.
The method was repeated to measure components of traditional cigarette smoke in a
Marlboro Silver Pack 100s tobacco cigarette.

Conclusion
Electronic cigarettes and personal vaporizors
such as the HAUS Personal Vaporizor are the
wave of the future. The present research
method provides a simple, low-budget
method to analyze the components of the
aerosol produced by these electronic nicotine
delivery systems. Using this method on a
larger scale, with a large variety of EC and
PV
manufacturers
will
increase
the
knowledge regarding this relatively unknown
aerosol and its effects on health.
