    The FDA Loses Appeal!

    I don't think this is the "victory" everyone wanted.

    The FDA Loses Appeal!

    Not to mention this: Calls for new rules to prevent sales except through direct, face-to-face exchanges between a retailer and a consumer.

    Sticky Mucous

    I've been trying to switch to a more cigar type puff rather than an analog inhale. It's easy to forget, but I'm trying. I figure I'm still getting the nicotine and hand-to-mouth, but hopefully breaking yet one more facet of the habit as well as minimizing what's going into my lungs. I've also...

    FlavourArt QHIT

    Something is wrong with me. You say "spray starch" and I think "hmm. linen flavored vape? Maybe!" ;)

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

    That's a little harder to figure out now. FlavourArt has added several flavors to their diacetyl-containing list, including Hypnotic Mist, Royal, Oba Oba and Oryental4 - all of which are sold on vb. FWIW, I wouldn't recommend asking about it on the VB forum. Notsofriendly.

    What was your first flavor, and do you still like/use it?

    CashCapp from Puresmoker, which is now discontinued. I vaped the heck out of it for a week, then was "over" it.

    How to quit vaping!

    I've moved down to zero nic on some juices, and it's not always pretty (I sometimes get pretty "antsy" as we say here), so I've chewed some nic gum here and there. It's definitely effective, if a little odd. Stepping down from 24 to 18 to 6 was a piece of cake for both my husband and I, for...

    Is there any DIACETYL in any of your e-liquid or flavors you use to make your e-liquid?

    I totally understand your point - but the name of the thread was, yk, "Is there any diacetyl in your liquids or flavors" so it's not like this is off-topic. And it's new information to add the Vape Heaven flavors that have been added to the diacetyl-containing list. (For what its worth, I...

    Industry Concerns

    C'mon, FS, I know you remember the first rule of Fight Club! So ignore the drama. Focus on what we CAN change, in a positive ripple-effect kind of way.

    Why is my BWB Applewood so bland?

    My fingers are crossed for you that you can make it through the steeping time! As for the other - thanks for replying! I'm just curious as to what proves to be a catastrophic tipping point for some of us. So.. it sounds like congrats on the non-pregnancy are in order! ;) ETA: what flavors do...

    Is there any DIACETYL in any of your e-liquid or flavors you use to make your e-liquid?

    5card, you may have missed it, but VB stated they don't use diacetyl, but it's come out that the Oba Oba, Oryental 4, Royal and Hypnotic Mist are FA flavors noted to use diacetyl. Just keeping it current. :)

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

    Kind of off topic. The folks over at Thanksgiving-forum.com/forum might've been a better audience. ;)

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

    The jury is out at the FDA right now. While popcorn manufacturers pulled diacetyl from their recipes, the FDA continued to maintain diacetyl's standing on the GRAS list, despite calls to action from such sources as The Project on Scientific Knowledge and Public Policy at the George Washington...

    Industry Concerns

    Just so this is crystal clear - when I say trade association I mean just that - a group of members within the trade. I'm not even talking about some regulatory body - I'm talking about if Joe's Juice Shack and Crystal's PV Emporium got together with Lanie's Lanyards to form a group.

    LOL at juicers. It's my belief that if we could work on the trade association angle first, the rest would follow.

    FlavourArt to remove all Diacetyl from their flavorings

    Ed, I've just blocked some folks that like to stir up trouble rather than be tempted to reply to them. :)

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

    One bit of very good news - FlavourArt is working on removing diacetyl from their flavors altogether. The FDA seems to be looking at diacetyl again (this time with the express purpose of banning a food flavoring from the GRAS - generally recognized as safe - list based on inhalation) so it...

    Industry Concerns

    I just don't even know how to reply to this, I truly don't. I mean... don't mention (I do not "bash") vendors that don't disclose? That's what you want me to do? Because you want more information from those non-disclosure vendors? I... I will, again, just wish you well.

    Industry Concerns

    You keep mentioning that you are concerned about removing one additive and replacing it with another potentially more dangerous additive. Wouldn't that fall under reacting without full information? So what's the answer, roger? Keep diacetyl in the juices? To what end?
