Thanks for your interest in taking part. We only ask for one urine sample during the session. The heart rate and breath measurements are taken before and after using your vaping product and can be repeated 2-3 times to increase accuracy of the readings. Each reading only takes a couple of mins. The session can take between 40-60 mins. If you're still interested, please complete the screening questionnaire: www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/heat-not-burn. Thanks, Hannah

Ahh.
Does that mean we need to attend UCL or live in a close proximity to it though?

Yes, you would need to attend UCL for the study. We reimburse travel expenses up to £5 (with a valid receipt/ticket) but I understand it may be inconvenient to travel from outside London. Thanks again, Hannah
 
Most of us vapers who live in London would have an Oyster card for use on public transport, where you tap in and tap out. How would we provide a valid receipt or ticket?

Thanks for your message. If you have an oyster account linked to your card it allows you to view your journey history and cost online - we would accept a screenshot of this as a receipt. Alternatively, if you were able to purchase a paper ticket for the journey to/from the study with a receipt we could take a copy of this. Thanks, Hannah

Apologies Hannah. I'm some distance away so it' s not really feasible.

Best of luck though, and I hope it's a positive experience for all concerned.
