Do Clearomizers Contain BPA?

[Clovery]

Does anyone know if the plastic Clearomizers contain BPA? I know that it's a compound that's used for making plastics clear and they've been removing it from baby bottles and reusable water bottles in recent years. Just wondering if this is something I should be concerned about.

The clearomizers and tanks that use polycarbonate tubing do contain BPA (bisphenol A) and at best are probably leaching at least low levels of BPA into the juice given that PG, VG, PGA and DW are well-known solvents. In the worst situations (e.g., where citric acid is used as a preservative and/or flavoring, etc.), I suspect relatively large amounts of BPA are leaching into the juice and I cringe every time I see someone report that their Stardust or tank has developed glazing and/or cracking or has disintegrated due to the use of certain juices. Anyway, for those interested in looking further at this issue, a search on "polycarbonate bisphenol" at PubMed will result in a rather lengthy list of peer-reviewed papers.

I purchased amber colored glass bottles from Feebay. They were very well priced, in every size imaginable. I put all mu juices in them as soon as they arrive, for that exact same reason.

Interesting topic, do u think that bpa gets consumed in us through vaping?

In my completely chemically ignorant opinion, how could it not. Between the juice bottles and all the diff plastic products we put juice in and then heat up. It seems fairly logical that it does to some degree.

I'm certain that BPA leaches from polycarbonate containers into juice, in some cases at high levels. Whether or not BPA is present in vapor depends on what temperature BPA begins to thermally decompose, that is, what actually winds up in vapor could be BPA itself or its thermal decomposition products (which, in turn, could also have adverse health effects).
