I wanted to share some information on the company Namberjuice,
NamberJuice Gourmet E-Liquid I have engaged in a personal quest to find an outstanding glazed doughnut e liquid flavor. After some research, and feedback from a thread that I started on ECF, I decided to order a 30ml bottle of Doughnut Pounder Original. They also offer the same flavor in their max VG Epiclouds line. The description is straight forward, "a bakery fresh sweet and sugary doughnut flavor sure to crave your sweet tooth and hunger for those early morning pastries." Well, I tried the juice FOOB, and I found the description to be pretty spot on with one exception. I was getting a bakery cinnamon taste that was forward and overpowering the glazed, cake taste that I was hoping for. So, into the ultrasonic and then back to the desk drawer for about one week of steeping. I tried it again this morning, and I have to admit that I really like the flavor. The cinnamon is barely noticeable now and it does have a nice, subtle, glazed pastry taste. I emailed Namberjuice a few days ago to inquire about levels of DA and AP. Below is the email answer that I received two days after my inquiry:
Thank you for your request. Doughnut Pounder is Certified Diacetyl free (see attached), but does include some low levels of Acetyl Propinyl (less than 300ppm), it is one of only four of our formulations that still have some AP in them. At present we have been experimenting with a new "AP Free Version" of Doughnut Pounder, but it's not quite done yet. As there are still somewhat mixed opinions about the topic, we've begun a policy of "All new Products are to be Certified Diacetyl and Acetyl Propionyl Free" - so all the newer stuff has both AP and DA certificates, but 4 of the older formulas allow for some low levels of AP (all formulas in all collections are certified Diacetyl Free). Being Namberjuice, we'd be happy to swap you out for something in one of the newer collections if you like (at no charge).
Just let us know and we'll get you a free trial of some of the new DA/AP free product offerings
All my best,
NAME REMOVED BY ME
I think the word on DA & AP is getting out to various e juice manufacturers. I applaud Namberjuice for their quick response and full transparency. It was also very stand up of them to offer a swap out to one of their newer AP free collections. I did notify them that the current high levels of AP will prohibit me from reordering the current version of Doughnut Pounder. I also told them that I would be happy to volunteer as a tester once the new, AP free version of Doughnut Pounder is closer to release. Now I just need to learn to inquire first, and order second... Oh, and of course I enthusiastically jumped all over the free trial offer!
