Agree there Trish,had a bottle a couple of months ago.However some of it's contents seem to cause concern.How bad are they?
Nicest actual flavour i've had in max vg so far was VV's Black cherry and marshmallow.Might reorder that one.I've only had approx 10 max vg tho'. So loads still to go at.
Yes, SB is supposed to be one of the worst for Diketones - not sure if they've addressed the issue though seeing there's been so much talk about it.
Also, not sure just how much is bad or whether it's more a case of keeping as safe as possible, and whether level of inhalation is a consideration.
I've had quite severe problems with some of the diketone/diacetyl forming fruits such as apple, blackberry, blackcurrant, lime, pineapple, and if I use too much, a few other fruits including certain strawberries but not all. The lemon used by Chefs doesn't seem to trouble me for instance, Strawberry Vapetto fine in moderation.
I did have problems back in the beginning with a few vanillas such as the V2 cartridges one, Johnsons Creek VG & Mystic, but no other has troubled me since - I've even had a 70/30 custard that I'm fine with.
I think a lot of these irritations and allergies are perhaps a combination of things or something not yet fully understood scientifically for their use in e-liquids, but as long as research continues and anything proved harmful is eliminated or reduced, things are moving in the right direction. I think disclosure is a key word for now.
I soon know if something is giving me problems - literally blocks my airways first, so I use that as a pointer where there's no specific warnings about something in particular.
Some people can die eating nuts for instance ...I don't. All an individual thing mostly, but with diketones/diacetyl/acetyl, my mind is fairly open, yet aware at the moment, but I'm glad most of the flavour producers are eliminating them or giving alternatives.
I will try the Kings Crown Claim Your Throne because it does sound rather good. If the 70/30 mix proves a bit too PG heavy for me, I can add something similar in 100% VG to counter it.
Can't say many of the VV have impressed me, but a few of the Velvet Cloud are good. (VapeGreen do both or it's easy to buy direct from either).
When Cloudhouse re-open tomorrow and get re-stocked in the coming week, you'll find a lot of High VG options including Gremlin, SNG, Indigo etc. Plus of course
mount baker which is also customisable for all spects.
