    Is steeping an urban legend?

    It's kind of interesting to see the "seniority" of the myth versus fact factions.

    Starting a LIST of diacetyl-free ejuice suppliers. Please, keep to JUST listing the supplier names!

    Very impressive. Maybe we can send a junket over there to see what really can be done and how to do it.

    Diacetyl is in tradition cigarette's. Why the outcry in E-Cigs? Just don't smoke the contaminated flavors

    Although it has been repeated several times, apparently some need reminding. There is a huge difference between something being safe for ingestion (that is what the scientific people call processing through the gastrointestinal tract) and inhalation (what those same people call things...

    Diacetyl is in tradition cigarette's. Why the outcry in E-Cigs? Just don't smoke the contaminated flavors

    How exactly does one "slander" diacetyl? Not sure if this is what you want, but here is the OSHA statement, the most recent one from 10/14/2010: "The SHIB provides recommendations for controlling exposure to diacetyl, diacetyl substitutes and other flavorings to protect employees from...

    Diacetyl is in tradition cigarette's. Why the outcry in E-Cigs? Just don't smoke the contaminated flavors

    Yes federal agencies have done it/singled it out (hence the Dept of Labor & OSHA warnings). Food manufacturers have done it and most popcorn manufacturers have removed it (and brag quite loudly about it). Most American flavoring manufacturers have removed it from their products. So apparently...

    Industry Concerns

    I don't know where you ever came up with the whole psychological profile thing. As usual, threads are being twisted to suit your particular needs. It was a different discussion which was part of the reasoning as to why some type of self-regulation was needed- so that even the 'unsavory' would...

    Industry Concerns

    Maybe it doesn't matter to you but, in my opinion at least, a lot depends on the crime. There is a big difference between someone who got arrested for streaking at a frat party and someone who beats their kids. Because this is something we put into our body with no regulation, we are dependent...

    FlavourArt to remove all Diacetyl from their flavorings

    They sort-of did; they called it Vape Heaven I believe. However, it has since turned out that some of those contained diacetyl, too.

    Advice on what to buy for newcomers

    I have to agree with the OP. There are seemingly a couple rote answers to questions in the new members forum with no consideration of the original question. I started with an eGo a few months ago and even "graduated" up to a battery mod, but now I'm finding myself drawn more and more to the...

    FlavourArt to remove all Diacetyl from their flavorings

    Sorry, guy!! That's a decision you have to make yourself. Because of the damage I did to my lungs smoking for so many years, I avoid the known toxins based on the knowledge available now. If I was a typical 20-something who had only been smoking for a few years and feeling indestructible, I...

    FlavourArt to remove all Diacetyl from their flavorings

    I wish I could say it was strictly for us, Golden, but I think there are issues with it in its other uses, too. There have been a couple of instances of trouble with it used in candy factories, so I think the US flavoring agent manufacturers were actually ahead of the game as far as diacetyl...

    FlavourArt to remove all Diacetyl from their flavorings

    The most recent OSHA report seems to state that the level in the factories was much lower than that. I think if you research some of the myriad links to Hubbs and lots of others, difference in mice anatomy is believed to factor in as to where the damage occurs- they have a longer respiratory...

    Industry Concerns

    I think there was a post in the DIY about a way to determine nicotine concentration for homemade juices. In reality, making your own juice is the only way to really know that.

    Industry Concerns

    I'd be more concerned about one with a history of financial problems. Lots of incentive there to take shortcuts. For instance, diluting down juice to half the level you order. Can you imagine the problem that would cause? You order 24 mg juice from Vendor A, who in order to make an extra...

    Bye Bye Cash Tab- Hello Tampa

    I agree wholeheartedly with this. Based on the tobacco flavors I have tried, I never would have chosen vaping over smoking if I hadn't gotten lucky with the Vapor Station tobaccos early on. They are still pretty much the only straight tobacco flavor I will vape. I was an ultra light vaper, so...

    Industry Concerns

    I think there are only a handful. I'm not exactly sure what point you're making, but it's also helping me with mine. Few flavors are approved for inhalation. Some are actually considered pulmonary pathogens, but some vendors continue to use them in some of their juices. Some are being...

    Industry Concerns

    Those are the ones that I mentioned as among the conditions that California requires for their home-based food products. And the health restrictions would depend on the state and country. I will say it again, in case you missed it the last 15 times I said it, no business would be obligated to...

    Industry Concerns

    I'm not sure I agree with this, but as long as vendors are defining safety based on their use of FDA GRAS flavorings, it will continue to be the defining status. As for the mixing, I believe it is illegal in all 50 states for anyone to sell their own tobacco products (it's not illegal to grow...

    Industry Concerns

    Oh, okay. If it's difficult and naive to think that we can make this a safer industry, I'll just ignore the issues and let the government step in and take care of it since they do it so much more efficiently that we can. This is a consumer's group created by consumer. Who set up the...

    Industry Concerns

    The coffee thing is not really appropriate for the discussion at hand- that could happen if you ran a nail salon and served coffee, too, so trying to make it sound like an inherent danger to the vaping community is a bit specious. And this is, at best, a consumable business. And, really, if...
