This work aims to investigate bronchodilator delivery with the use of different vaping drug delivery systems (VDDS) by determining the dose equivalence delivered in relation to different references: a clinical jet nebulizer, a pMDI (pressurized metered dose inhaler) and a DPI (dry powder inhaler). Three different bronchodilators were used (terbutaline, salbutamol hemisulfate, ipratropium bromide). The e-liquids contained the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in powder form.

Methods: Terbutaline in powder form, combined with 1, 3- propanediol used as e-liquid was tested at different concentrations (1 and 2.5 mg/mL), power levels (15 W and 30 W), and set applied resistances (0.
Purpose: The performance of new-generation high-power electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) for the administration of inhaled terbutaline was assessed.
Methods: The formulation of e-liquid was carried out using terbutaline in combination with 1, 3- propanediol. Several terbutaline concentrations (from 0.
