Table 6. Representative puff topography ranges observed in a sample of young adults using their preferred disposable ENDS.

Representative Puff Flow Rates (mL/s)
Representative Puff Duration (s) 20 25 30 35 40 45
1.0 20 25 30 35 40 45
1.5 30 38 45 53 60 68
2.0 40 50 60 70 80 90
2.5 50 63 75 88 100 113
3.0 60 75 90 105 120 135
3.5 70 88 105 123 140 158

Two factors, Mean Puff Duration (s) and Mean Puff Flow Rate (mL/s), at six levels each yield Mean Puff Volumes (mL) which span the range of puffing topography characteristics observed in a cohort of twenty young adult ENDS users during a natural use environment, 7 day observation period.
