I figured this out im not going to be using them I looked up the msds on ethyl acetate and its very bad so dont try it

 

[bogeyjim]

Its bad? The juice I got from e smokey treats has 2.5% ethyl acetate in it?? :-(

Maybe analogs are safer??

Analogs are not safer, read up on what is in those!!! There is a right way and a wrong way to DIY. You have to take the time to learn about it. You can't assume everything is good or bad, Sometimes trace amounts are ok, and sometimes not. All I can say is read, read, read.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

ETHYL ACETATE

Yep, and?

Have you read an MSDS for the ingredients in Coke?

The MSDS assumes full concentrations and factory type exposures.

Imagine using a candy flavoring with a violent flashpoint above 25F? That is what the document shows. How many cooking devices has the flavoring company replaced?

The practice of saying something is bad at full strength so any amount is bad is not reasonable. You could do so for nic and nearly any bottled beverage. Heck toothpaste by the same reasoning is horrible stuff.

Personally, I would not use it. But I do not drink soft drinks. And I am wary of any acatate. It has more to do with specific health conditions I have instead of fears of the substance itself.

Think about the dosage percentage. Consider your options. Make a reasoned choice. But don't forget inhalation is the quickest route to the blood stream outside of injection. Even drinking too much water will kill you just as well as drinking too little. (Too much is tougher to do by far)

And while you are drinking that water consider the chlorine and lime in it and look those MSDS's up.

You really don't want to use anything that is an extract or have oil in it. Not good for your atty. Leaves lots of deposits and reduces it's ability to function properly. Any artificial flavors are usually good to use in most I've seen.

I do not disagree on the extracts, but what are you baseing your advice with the oils on, experiance or what you've read? I have been using .6-1% oil in alot of my mixes (like clove) and have had no atty issues what so ever in 8 months, the atty life is the same in the one I use oil in versus the one I do not. I do agree that at higher concentrations oil would be bad for the atty but not from deposits. Ever try the burn test to see what residue is left behind. I have and in extracts it is not pretty.

I had one atty quit on me (well barely worked) when I used it for some mint flavoring I mixed up. The mint flavoring was oil based. I must admit though, I mix my flavors very strong. What I found was the oil was not leaving as well and staying in it. It eventually thickened up (I guess from the heat) and was blocking the atty from being able to hold juice.

I was able to revive the atty by blowing it out after soaking it in some PG. So it wasn't that it was burning and clogging the coil,... it was thickening up and reducing it's ability to wick juice.

As I said though, I did get it working again. I just never use flavorings with oils. If you mix it lightly though it may do fine but I find mixing lightly for me is too weak of a flavor.

After this happened I had seen where a lot of other visitors cautioned against oils. If you can get away with it not clogging up your atty then I'd say you have a winner there. It may also depend on the brand of flavorings also. I believe the flavoring I was trying that did the dirty work was McCormick.

I use Lorannes most of the time but all the flavors I use now are artificial and are PG based.
