Introduction
This document has been developed to define an additional vaping regime and to specify its conditions of
application. Also, EN ISO 20768 describes inhalation of aerosol by filling the mouth before inhaling
deeper into the lung, commonly called mouth to lung vaping.
This additional regime is aimed to be representative of an inhalation through an electronic cigarette into
the lung, commonly called direct to lung inhalation.
Due to the poor literature about puff topography of direct to lung vaping device users, this vaping regime
is based on physical lung properties and resting conditions. Puff volume is consistent with the tidal
volume (500 mL), the puff duration with a respiration rate of 12 breaths per minute (i.e. inhalation
duration of 2,5 s) leading to an average airflow rate estimated at 200 mL/s.
The methods exploring 25 devices, leading the technical characteristics used as criteria of application,
can be found in Soulet et al. (2021) [1].
