I love cinnamon and it would be my daily vape but I developed a burnt mouth and a mild case of acute bronchitis which I am leaning towards it being from vaping cinnamon. Cinnamaldehyde (flavoring) is listed as skin and lung irritant. Not sure if this is what most ejuices use for flavor but many have stopped vaping it due to their concerns, including myself.

Is there a cinnamon flavoring that is not listed as a skin and lung irritant? I probably couldn't guarantee a shop wouldn't have the "in question" material but if something is less harmful that existed I would consider a DIY.

Cinnamaldehyde is what makes cinnamon cinnamon, either baking or candy. You can produce it artificially or extract it chemically, but it is the same thing.

So, no, I've never heard of cinnamon without any cinnamon.

Would be nice though. I know I cannot vape it too much without having mucus issues, so I vape it once in awhile and then stop even though it tastes soooo good.

You could try mixing it with another flavor that accents it well in order to reduce its strength and how irritating it is without making it watery. Every once in a while I have to take a week break due to having my lips and the surrounding skin becoming irritated.

Edit* Some Capellas flavors that have cinnamon accents seem to lack that painful punch, but they don't really taste like cinnamon to me either. I have to add tpa red hots to fix them.
