TSRC, Tob. Sci. Res. Conf., 2019, 73, abstr. 088 (also presented at CORESTA SSPT2019) How did we move from smoking topography to vaping topography? POULIN-DELORME E.; MENAGER K.; LOZANO F. SODIM, Saint Jean de Braye, France The principle of measurement of the Smoking Puff Analyser – Manual (SPA-M) device is based on Bernoulli’s Law applied through the thin layer coupled with the Perfect Gas Law. The issue with e-cigarettes is that the flow that comes through the hole is...
