Self-report measure completed following e-cigarette self-administration, using the Labeled Hedonic Scale (LHS). Scores range from -100 (most disliked imaginable) to 100 (most liked imaginable) with higher scores indicating a greater degree of liking.

12-item modified Cigarette Evaluation Questionnaire (mCEQ) completed following e-cigarette self-administration to assess subjective responses to the e-cigarettes. The 12-item mCEQ includes five subscales: Smoking Satisfaction, Psychological Reward, Aversion, Enjoyment of Respiratory Tract Sensations, and Craving Reduction, with items rated from 1 (not at all) to 7 (extremely likely). Scores for each subscale are calculated as the mean of the individual item responses or the single item. Higher scores indicate greater intensity on that scale.
