Custard flavors bad for your health if vaped?

[Kurt]

Because I am so happy that Linda is providing this valuable info, I just put in a big order with her...that I and I needed some new flavors and to replace the ones I have used up. Looking forward to the pie crust and the vanilla swirl, as well as many others. Wanted to try the infamous tiramisu.

I really love TPA's bavarian cream. Its totally different than Lorann's (maybe because it has no custard notes, since Loranns is decidedly custard-ish in taste). TPAs is more like crem broulee, including the flamed sugar on top of it. Not the vanilla donut custard taste of Loranns.

Thanks to all for the tips on good TPA flavors...I think I got at least 4 mL of all of them mentioned here. My DIYs have gotten rather monotonous of late, and this is going to be lots of fun!

I should add that the statement here that only PA is disclosing/concerned is incorrect. Flavour Art has been proactively involved in this issue for a long time. They have gone even further than PA, in that they label any flavors that contain diacetyl, acetylpropionyl, acetoin or any diketone like this: "This flavor contains Diacetyl and/or related diketones. Not suitable for vaping". Not "maybe", not "we don't fully know". They are available on their site since Flavour Art sells to the food industry as well as for vaping.

In response to my request, Ecigexpress.com has propagated the same warning on flavors like "condensed milk", "butter", and so on.

Of course there are other possible irritants, as was pointed out about cinnamon flavors etc. In spite of the unwillingness of many juice-makers to give up their lucrative buttery sweet liquids and even discuss the issues, and vapers who argue that "it's better than smoking", it's nonetheless moving slowly in the right direction.

I was amazed to see some juice vendors bluntly say that warnings are bad for business. As to the "better than smoking" argument, it's two-fold silly. First, nobody can plausibly argue that to stay off cigarettes they must vape e-liquids full of vanilla custard or butter popcorn. Secondly, the risks associated with smoking are statistical. A lot of people smoke and don't get emphysema or cancer. With diketones, ALL of the animals exposed above 200 ppm showed severe respiratory damage, it's quite direct.
