how can i get a liquid tested?

[genelbc]

So i just bought a flavor from a local b&m. Its their new premium line and when i tried it at the shop i thought it was great. But now that ive been vaping on it for some hours the creamy taste is now more of a buttery taste. I know that diacetyl is used in creamy buttery flavors. I was just wondering how to go about getting it tested. Does anyone know of a place i could send it? I would gladly spend a lil cash to go back and tell them how bad it is

i believe nude nicotine does GC (gas chromatography) testing... not sure about pricing though

I think I read that testing one sample costs about $1200. Big discount for quantity. Not a "lil cash".

Ouch. Right 1200 is not a lil. Im gonna have to look around. I just want to know.

This kind of testing is expensive, no matter what the substance is. If the vendor doesn't have enough volume to justify it, you certainly don't.

It's not $ 1200 . Dr. Gillman ( ? ) from Enthaply said it costs about $ 200 to test one e liquid for diacetyl and AP , and less if you have more liquids. But the question i have is why would you if you have no plans to vape the liquid anymore ? I mean i can understand if you have found your adv and would rather not vape diketones in high amounts and want to find out what the levels are in that particular liquid. But just to prove a point to a B&M ? Did they make a specific assertion as to the level of diketones in the juice one way or another ?

If it is creamy or buttery, it probably go has DA/AP...

I would continue to use the liquid if it came back with not harmful levels. Its really tastey. But the fact that every time this guys juices get brought up (one guy makes it for the store) oh theyre so good, its safer than this, he knows what hes doing, its this that bothers me. They have no proof of testing but claim their juices are safer than most. This is what bothers me.

Sounds hokey to me. If it's so good you have so vape it, so be it. Of course it has diacetyl. Even professional juice makers use it...

I dont have to. I would like to. But if you were sold a product based on false information and it turned out to detrimental to your health would you not want to do something about it?

Gotcha ! I misunderstood your first post then.

" Oh they're so good, it's safer than X or Y, he knows what's he doing etc ... " doesn't sound like chemist talk lol.
