I don't really think that it depends. Sure there might be a very few very toxic liquids but mostly it's just flavored glycerin and propylene glycol. Smoking a cigarette is literally like taking deep breaths over a campfire. That's a wild mixture of elements.
The flavoring is the problem, ultimately. Most haven't been studied to establish their inhalation safety, or how they will react with the base ingredients and other flavorings.
That's why I only vape unflavored eliquid I make myself.
