DIY Custard Juices without using "custard flavoring"

[pdxjlb]

I have a little gripe (being a healthcare worker) -

I understand there are tons of videos and recipes out there, but it seems to be a "secret" for show hosts and B&M owners to not explain simply to new DIYers how to create custard juices at home without using (for example) Capellas V2 custard, or other "custard" flavors that possibly have "chemicals hazardous to lung tissue". I come to this conclusion because vaping is about keeping us all more healthy and away from cigarettes. I understand that people want to keep their recipe secret to market and make money off but still. You don't have to give percentages or ratios or steep rates or all the little things that make your marketed juice "yours" but we do deserve to be an open with each other and share freely how to stay away from flavorings that are "knowingly hurtful" to produce a complex flavor.

I don't know about show hosts (or B&Ms), but most juice vendors I patronize are always willing to disclose if they are using Diacetyl or Acetyl Propionyl--most have a statement on the site wrt their use of diketones. The problem is, many of them weren't even aware of the problem until quite recently--diacetyl is a common natural ingredient in many food flavorings, not a chemical deliberately added to it.

We also have a DIY forum where the subject has been discussed for years.

A new study verifies the lower risk-potential of e-cigarettes but identifies an avoidable risk

Please bear in mind that there's a bit of hysteria surrounding diacetyl--first of all, cigarette smoke also contains diacetyl and no smoker has ever been diagnosed with popcorn lung. But I doo agree with Dr. Farsalinos--it's a totally avoidable risk and consumers should be able to find diacetyl-free flavorings. If your juice vendor doesn't know--or won't tell you--if his products contain diacetyl, find one that will.
