Aerosol samples were generated at a battery power output of 4.6 W for the blu e-cigarettes EC01–EC04 and a battery power output of 9.1 W for e-liquids EL01–EL06 using an EVOD2 atomizer (puff volume of 91 mL and puff duration of 4 s). Each experiment was performed in triplicate, and the data are expressed as the average (±SD) of the measured values.
