flavorings in eliquid

[Gauntlgrym]

what exactly is the difference between "food grade" flavoring and "pharmaceutical grade" flavoring.

what makes pharmaceutical a higher grade? is it approved for inhalation?

Referring to VG/PG, if I understand correctly, it is the purity of the product. You want the purest form possible for inhalation.

no, not talking about the VG or PG that you add flavoring to, in order to make eliquid. talking about the flavoring itself. pharmaceutical grade flavoring.

I would be surprised if you can find USP grade flavoring. They are all food grade. They are not approved for inhalation. As far as I know nothing was approved for inhalation besides those things in inhalators.

Flavors are meant to be eaten, not inhaled. There are no taste buds in the lungs, so no need for pharma grade flavors...

Flavourart has a vaping line of flavors tested for inhalation. Probably your safest bet for the best possible harm reduction.

If you can smell it, you've inhaled it.

How did they test these flavors? My understanding is that they simply aren't oils...

There is a difference between smelling something and inhaling large quantities of it all day and night. Even bakers and line cooks have gotten respiratory issues from long term inhalation relating to their professions...

vaporfi also claims they make all the flavoring they use in house, and they are pharmaceutical grade. well, according a B&M store manager they are.
the website just says:
"Better than food grade - Our E-Liquid flavorings are specifically made to be inhaled, they are a step beyond food grade."

i went into a B&M to try and figure out what "better than food grade" is. the manager said they are pharmaceutical grade flavorings made for inhalation

Vaporfi makes a lot of claims...

until vaping came around there was no need....now there is, and people are claiming they are making them.

Are marketing lies white lies?

Vaporfi is very sleazy company, its marketing is strong in misleading customers.

You may want to do a little research about International Vapor Group before you trust them willy nilly...
Ever hear of Nutricigs?

Yep. Example of their marketing tactics.
If something is food of food grade, it is automatically better than food grade. It should be better than approved minimal limits for "food grade" just to be qualified. So, yes, their flavorings are better then limits prescribed by "food grade", but so are all flavorings of other companies. It is typical fo vaprofi, and because of it it is disgusting.

I did find this at flavourarts site. Seems they will be updating their Clearstream project this month: Home

Please watch for news of the public release of information regarding our Flavour Art Clear Stream Onward research this September 2015. This will move us another decade ahead of others in knowledge and assurance in long term understanding of health affects of our flavours used for inhalation in vaping.

when the hammer drops ... IMO, Vaporfi will recant a lot of their marketing claims

They will be out of business...

No, they are not.

look, i'm not for or against vaporfi, but do you have any proof they are not? is the lab report they provide false? i've beed hoping some scientist would come in a decode that 170pg report for me.
or do you just not like them and are biased because of it? trust me, i'm skeptical too. however if pharma grade flavor exists, then i would like to be using it.

are you saying that pharma grade flavor is impossible to make, period?
