Measurement of electronic cigarette (ECIG) puff topography provides an understanding of how product characteristics and user behavior affect nicotine delivery. However, mouthpiece-based topography devices may affect natural puffing behavior. This study was designed to compare ECIG topography measured by mouthpiece-based eTop computerized device and mouthpiece-free video recordings.
