Butyric Acid aricle...

Not sure if this in the right forum. Saw on my nic supplier's site and thought it was interesting.
GC/MS Critical Info: Butyric Acid Modulates Diketone Toxicity: - Nude Nicotine

One of the reasons I like buying from Nude Nicotine. Though honestly, if a flavor tastes good enough, I'm not really worried about diketones or any of the usual run around with your hair on fire components of some juices/flavors. I know they are detrimental to health, but I can't imagine them being anywhere near as bad as the stuff in cigarettes (though I never smoked, I picked up vaping cold turkey...) or the decades of handling hazardous materials in automotive shops and in medical labs. If anything is going to get me, it'll be skin cancer from all of the brake clean, carb cleaner and various oils and lubes I've had coating my hands and arms for years.

Ha ha absolutely riceburner, i work with computers and am constantly in contact with solder, dialectric grease, RTV, etc... so i get where you coming from. IMO there are two different arguments to vaping safely:
Harm reduction: anything is better than smoking. The trade off for other potentially harmful chemicals as compared to the thousands found in cigarette smoke.
Safe vaping: Removing as many harmful additives from e liquid and vaping hardware as possible to ensure the safest vaping experience.

I tend to fall in between both. I avoid DA and AP (although im not a fan of creamy flavors so this is relatively easy to avoid these) and i avoid tobacco extracted liquids because of the extraction of potentially hazardous alkaloids found in the leaves. I think it is really on the individual to decide how they want to vape and what they are taking into there bodies. I do however believe companies should do there best to provide as much information on their e-liquieds as possible, like Nude Nicotine.

I just like to share these things with the ECF community. The more you know!

Of course make vaping as safe as possible, but from what I have read about various hazards in the vaping world, they are minor when compared to smoking. If someone can make me safe versions of my favorite flavors, then great. If they can't, I'm not really going to lay awake at night worrying about it either. I am glad to see TFA releasing "_____ free" versions of their flavors in an attempt to make vaping all the more safe.

Not a recipe. Moved to DIY E-Liquid

I saw that recently as well and I'm in the same mind set of harm reduction. I keep educated on the harmful flavors and go easy on them. They won't kill me as fast as my past 2 pack a day 45 year habit.

Congrats on kicking your habit dannyv! Its good to see "senior" vapers in our community.

Kudos to NN for proactively researching, addressing and communicating concerns/risks to customer health. This is absolutely the kind of business where I would choose to spend money.

Thanks for the share ainnipe. The further I get down this rabbit hole, the more my body's reactions begin to make sense. Knowledge is a good thing and kudos to NN on their proactive approach.
