Results: At Week 1, 66% (n=409) were exclusive e-cigarette users, and 21% (n=129) were dual users. At Month 6, 43% (n=266) were exclusive e-cigarette users, and 16% (n=102) were dual users. While flavor choices were similar at Week 1, at 6 months, exclusive e-cigarette users reported using more fruity flavors than dual users (31% vs 22%, ARR=2.10; 95% CI: 1.21-3.66). The nicotine concentration used initially was similar in both groups and diminished over time. At 6 months, exclusive e-cigarette users used a lower mean nicotine concentration than dual users (6.3 vs 8.2 mg/mL, difference= -1.55; 95% CI: -2.84 - -0.25 mg/mL).

Conclusions: After 6 months, exclusive e-cigarette users used more fruity-flavored e-liquids and chose a lower mean nicotine concentration than dual users.
