Diacetyl/Acetoin/Acytyl Propionyl

[ayopassthat]

So I've been hearing a lot about testing for diacetyl in certain juices. I noticed after I ordered from Nicoticket that Custard's Last Stand has Acetoin and/or Acytyl Propionyl in it. I don't know if I should vape the juice or return it. There are so many different opinions on these chemicals ("don't ever vape it" or "it can't be worse than cigarettes") This is all very frustrating because there is so much information (/misinformation) to sift through and I want to limit the amount of damage I do to my body moving forward. What resources do you recommend concerning this topic? I know there's not a whole lot of studies because vaping is realatively new but I would like to see what people have to say. I may just vape unflavored VG/nic, which is the best option I see as of now. Thank you in advance

If you want to avoid unnecessary risks, don't vape these ingredients (nor diacetyl, food colorings, coumarin, etc.) -- there is absolutely no reason to do so. If you enjoy or don't care, well then vape on. But thanks to Nicoticket for giving us that choice.

Okay, I will bite on the Nicoticket Catfisher---Don't smoke...lol

? I don't know what you're saying. I can't figure out if these flavorings actually pose a risk or if I am just scared.

The way I see it is many people on these forums have been vaping for years and they are still alive and well. They are also breathing better. I say vape away!

My understanding is acetoin is not nearly as troublesome as the other two. Diacetyl and A P are substantially the same on a molecular level and the risks are identical. Obviously dosage matters.

Do the research and make a decision based on the level of your risk tolerance. Here's a good place to start :

I'm going to go flavorless today on 6mg with 50/50 pg/vg. I get vape tongue after 3 hits anyway.

It's your body and your choice to vape . Do your own research and not on what other people's opinions are because they could be wrong on their data .
