One study (Wang et al., 2017) did not use an e-cigarette to generate aerosol, and another study (Uchiyama et al., 2010) did not report puff duration and interpuff interval. Thus, puffing regime is not identified in these studies. One study (Kosmider et al., 2017) tested puffing regimes based on topography recordings in experienced vapers; the puffing regimes are not displayed in the table. One study (Sala et al., 2017) used variable puff duration, ranging from 2 to 10 s. One study (Blair et al., 2015) used variable interpuff interval, ranging from 15 to 60 s.
