Is there Carbon monoxide in vape

[gregcool]

clutching at straws. did you get a dry hit before the reading

No not at all..took a huge breath and held it for 15 seconds then blew my heart out...

I'm not a scientist but I'm 90% sure there isn't.
Could it be anything else? Where you live,where you work?
Have you changed any of your habits (other than the homebrew) in the last two weeks?
Spent a lot of time in smoking areas?

Well the only time i was around smokers and that was this sat afternoon outside a pub i was vaping and many were smoking.then yesterday outside another pub for two hrs in the sun and smoking area vaping.there were people smoking around me..maybe its these to experiances then,and today 2 hrs before i went to see her.i was sitting out on my bowcany vaping in the sun and the trafic going by.i live right in a main road 1st floor..maybe it was a combination of these three things then..didnt do any of this when i had my first test..never thought of this

From the NHS:
"e-cigarettes do not produce tar and carbon monoxide"

Funny sort of stop smoking clinic if they didn't know this.

Thanks..ill show her this..she should know this already..

Ask her when her CO monitor was last calibrated. Your carbon monoxide levels dont rise with vaping. If your boiler is ok and you havent been exposed to a heavy passive smoke, or other obvious pollutant, - then it could be her machine thats wonky .

Ok thanks for the advice..ill have a chat with her..im not bothered realy as i know i havnt smoked..was just curious....cheers

..... as far as I'm aware without combustion it's impossible to create carbon monoxide, if you are burning wick then you will create some but what's one dry hit compared to standing at a barbeque cooking?

I wouldn't worry unless you start feeling sick, go into convulsions or die.

Lol..cheers buddy..well iv had this coil in for 10 days so maybe the wick is burning a bit and needs changing...could be this although its still smooth vaping no dry hits so i asume its all good..

I have also heard it causes baldness and in very rare cases nob rot

So thats whats happened to me...
Damned vaping...

Nah, you need actual ongoing combustion - a gunked up wick may give you crap flavour but it wont be hot enough to combine carbon and oxygen...

I do remember when I was quitting, there was a chart on the wall with readings for carbon monoxide.

I am pretty sure anything below 8 on their machine was that of a Non smoker, but in a high pollution area-and it could be higher in very polluted areas.
I am pretty sure you will have some carbon monoxide in tests unless you are breathing pure oxygen.

So, it sounds fairly normal, I hope you can continue and be a non smoker for good .

Thanks for the advice..i feel you are right and we all have some kind of levels in our boddy andbmany factors can cause it..the main thing is i havnt smoked so know its not that.must just be a spike from something eles..i will continue to vape away as i love it so dam much and smoking feels like a distant memory for me now and i know ill never go back to it again..i get so much pleasure from vaping and making my own juices..
