The metals nickel, chromium, and copper coated with silver have been used to make the normally thin-wired e-cigarette heating elements. The atomizers and heating coils possibly contain aluminum. They likely account for most of the aluminum in the e-cigarette vapor. The chromium used to make the atomizers and heating coils is probably the origin of the chromium. Copper is commonly used to make atomizers. Atomizers and heating coils commonly contain iron. Cadmium, lead, nickel, and silver originated from the heating element. Silicate particles may originate from the fiberglass wicks. Silicate nanoparticles have been found in vapors generated from the fiberglass wicks. Tin may originate from the e-cigarette solder joints. Nickel potentially found in the e-cigarette vapor may originate from the atomizer and heating coils. The nanoparticles can be produced by the heating element or by pyrolysis of chemicals directly touching the wire surface. Chromium, iron, tin, and nickel nanoparticles potentially found in the e-cigarette vapor can originate from the e-cigarette heating coils. Kanthal and nichrome are frequently used heating coils which may account for chromium and nickel in the e-cigarette vapor. Metals can originate from the "cartomizer" from the later-generation devices where an atomizer and cartridge are constructed into one unit. Metal and glass particles can be created and vaporized because of the heating of the liquid with glass fiber. E-cigarette makers do not fully disclose information on the chemicals that can be released or synthesized during use. The chemicals in the e-cigarette vapor can be different than with the liquid. Once vaporized, the ingredients in the e-liquid go through chemical reactions that form new compounds not previously found in the liquid. Many chemicals including carbonyl compounds such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein, and glyoxal can inadvertently be produced when the nichrome wire (heating element) that touches the e-liquid is heated and chemically reacted with the liquid. Acrolein and other carbonyls have been found by in e-cigarette vapors that were created by unmodified e-cigarettes, indicating that formation of these compounds could be more common than previously thought. A 2017 review found "Increasing the battery voltage from 3.3 V to 4.8 V doubles the amount of e-liquid vapourized and increases the total aldehyde generation more than threefold, with acrolein emission increasing tenfold."
