👉 Moderator fumes are a common byproduct of e-cigarette use, characterized by a distinct, often acrid odor. These fumes are primarily composed of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other chemicals that result from the heating of e-liquid, which typically contains propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, flavorings, and nicotine. When the e-liquid is vaporized, these components break down at high temperatures, producing a range of harmful substances, including formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and other toxic compounds. The presence of these fumes can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat, and prolonged exposure may lead to more serious respiratory issues. Despite being considered less harmful than traditional cigarette smoke, moderator fumes still pose health risks and are a significant concern for both users and those around them.
