They may look like travel shampoo bottles and smell like bubblegum, but after a few hundred puffs, some disposable, electronic cigarettes and vape pods release higher amounts of toxic metals than older e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, according to a study from the University of California, Davis. For example, one of the disposable e-cigarettes studied released more lead during a day’s use than nearly 20 packs of traditional cigarettes.

If the coil is getting red hot it's not producing vapor anymore. Vapor is just boiled oil and the boiling happens at a lower temperature than red hot by a significant amount, and the whole system is configured that the incoming vape juice cools the coil in the process of becoming vapor. This study is about as significant as noticing that if you set the filter of a cigarette on fire it can produce extra-toxic chemicals. No shit, but that's not how they work.

More bullshit ads for plant based vaping alternatives; cigarettes.

I've wrapped enough coils to know they do in fact get red hot. Ask anybody who built coils how many times they've had to throw away a tank full because they ran it too fast and it burnt.

You trust the disposables to supply enough juice to keep the coil from every getting red hot? You trust the coil to be made of safer metals?

The coils don't burn it's the cotton that burns and causes dry hits and burnt flavor.

You're splitting hairs. The coils get red hot on dry wick and it burns. The coils are overheating.
