SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: 0, 5, 10, 35 min.Population: Participants who attended the study product visit and fully completed the QSU items
E-cig craving/suppression of craving and withdraw will be measured using the Tiffany-Drobes Questionnaire of Smoking Urges (QSU): Brief Form with a modified version (replacing the word "cigarette" with "e-cigarette"). This is a 10-item measure where participants rate smoking/vaping-related items on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). Similar to previous studies, we will collapse the items into two previously identified factors (Factor 1: strong desire and intention to smoke/vape; Factor 2: anticipation of relief from withdrawal symptoms). Scores are calculated by summing the items and range from 5 to 35 for each of the factors with higher scores indicating greater craving to smoke/vape.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: Pre-Vaping Session at Visit 1Population: Participants who attended the baseline study visit and whose endothelial function was able to be recorded with the EndoPAT device.
Endothelial function will be collected through EndoPAT device. Specifically, the natural log of RHI, the reactive hyperemia index, will be recorded. The RHI (Reactive Hyperemia Index) or LnRHI (natural log of RHI) is the post-to-pre occlusion PAT™ signal ratio in the occluded arm, relative to the same ratio in the control arm, corrected for baseline vascular tone. Values less than 1.67 or higher than 0.51 are considered to be abnormal.
