Healthcabin, oil based flavors?

[mick500]

So I just ordered a bunch of flavors for diy from healthcabin, here's the link.

10ml concentrated fruit flavour(29 flavors)

And then I noticed further down the page

"Oil based:
Banana/Blueberry/Blackcurrant/Cherry/Cinnamon/Coconut/Cranberry Grape/Green Apple/Hami Melon/Juicy peach/Kiwi/Lemon/Litchi/Orange/Pineapple/Pomegranate/Pear/Passion Fruit/Raspberry/Strawberry/Star Fruit/Watermelon/Blackberry/Black Cherry/Guava/Cantaloupe /Kerson Fruit/Green Mango

Water based: Peach/Mango"

Does that mean they are unsafe? I have been reading to avoid oil based flavors. Is that correct info?

I don't know if anything changed since you asked this question in March of 2015. What did they tell you when you opened your ticket?

In general, if it says "oil-based," and they can't convince me otherwise, I'm not going to vape it! There are just too many good concentrate companies out there that will tell you what is/isn't oil-based for me to waste my time on a company that wants to play games.
Good luck.

By the way; you missed the correct forum again (remembrances of 2015?). This will better reach the folks who DIY; in the DIY E-liquid forum. I'll ask the mods to move it for you; and you'll still get your notifications(no need to re-post).

Thanks. Lol. I have no memory of asking this in 2015, lol. But it does seem its more widely accepted these days to avoid all oil based flavours of any kind from what I have seen?

Yes, all oil based flavors are to be avoided. They should only be used for making food products, not inhaled.

Stay away from the oils, yes. Plenty of flavorings to choose from that are not oil based, and they are not recommended for use in vaping. I'd try one of the more well-known wholesale DIY places like Nicotine River, they don't carry any oil based juices I don't think and have great selection. DIY Flavor Shack is good as well, and there are many others.

Thanks guys.

Well I also bought 100pg and 100vg base with 3mg and 6mg nicotine from them as well. I assume they cant/wouldnt/don't contain any oils and are fine to use,and I just need to chuck out the flavours and get them from somewhere else but the pg and Vg are fine to use? Or do I need to worry about oils with them as well?

 

[stols001]

Usually if in PG/VG then they're being sold in the form that is used for vaping. Could email your vendor and check if you are really worried, but I think you are probably fine. If worried, just contact the vendor to put your mind at ease....

Who did you buy them from if you don't mind my asking?

And here's the link to the 100% 3mg pg base, I also got 100% 3mg Vg..

115ml HC Unflavored E-Liquid (3mg)

Is there a link with a list of reputable sellers of flavours etc that you could possibly link me to? I'm
In Australia so would probably be looking for a reseller but will import if necessary. Would be greatly appreciated.

 

[stols001]

I don't know who would sell/ship to Australia? Have you tried the Australian subforum? They may be better able to help you.

Australia - New Zealand Forum

Best of luck,

Could check this site:
Flavour concentrates for DIY e liquids

Your HC flavor link states for diy e liquids. I think the term oil based may be a language barrier misrepresentation. I would guess they my mean vg based or pg based depending on individual flavor. Simple way to test them is put a few drops in a couple ounces of water, shake and see if the flavor separates.

 

[mick500]

So I got a response from healthcabin regarding their oil based flavourings and it would seem that it just means they are mixed with pg/Vg upon clicking the link they attached . However they do say its food based flavourings which are perfectly safe to vape. Although I have heard food flavourings shouldn't be vaped. Confused.

"Thanks for contacting us .
please be at ease ,these liquids are just food flavourings and safe to vape .please see in the attachment .the oil case is for dilute with concentrated liquid with unflavored .

Best regards,

Most all the flavorings we use started out as food flavorings and are fine for vaping as long as they are alcohol or PG based. Some flavorings are in an oil base and should be avoided.

I suspected that there was a translation issue, as I've seen a number of Chinese sites refer to liquid as "oil". I think your flavorings will be fine. Good luck!

 

[Letitia]

Your flavors from HC are safe to use. There are other diyers that use them.
