according to vapor-fi, they use flavorings that are "made to be inhaled", and they are a "step beyond food grade" gras approved.

so.....if this is true, then why is nobody talking about vapor-fi?

people are screaming everywhere that they want the eliquid to be as safe as possible. people don't want diacetyl, or any form of diketone. people blew up over the atlantis heads not being organic cotton. unicorn milk got ripped to shreds for having a certain chemical it, etc, ect.....

wel, if what vapor-fi claims is true.....then they are probably the most healthy eliquids on the market. if flavorings that are "made to be inhaled" exist.....then ALL companies should be using them.

just wanted to shed some light on this, because I don't think people know that vapor-fi uses these special flavorings. if they did, then I would think more people would be talking about it.

Just Vaporfi hyperbole. GRAS is food grade for all intents and purposes. Virtually ALL flavorings used in baking, vaping, etc are GRAS. There is NO flavoring that is certified by anyone for inhaling.
PG may be certified for inhaling but I do not think that VG is.
Nicotine can be certified for inhaling.

I expect the FDA to be on Vaporfi's butts shortly over this.

Anyone know who bought Vapor Zone and named it Vaporfi?

that's not what they are saying.
they say they are made to be inhaled AND they are also GRAS approved. they are not saying GRAS approved means made to be inhaled.

quote from website:
"Better than Food-Grade - Our E-Liquid flavorings are specifically made to be inhaled, they are a step beyond “food grade,” and they have been GRAS approved."

Can you post a Link to where you found that Statement? Thank you.

There haven't been an adequate number of long-term studies about inhaling flavorings for a claim like that to be taken seriously, in my humble opinion.

Keep in mind, also, that saying "these flavorings were made for the purpose of being inhaled" doesn't mean anything in regard to their actual safety. It pretty much just means that the manufacturer hopes they're safer. They may be, but it's not yet possible to know the long-term results. Vaping, in general, is relatively new to all of us.

VaporFi VAPETENDER

I went and looked to see what the OP was talking about.

right here, about middle of the page
VaporFi VAPETENDER

I think VaporFI should contact a Different Product Lawyer than the one they currently have.

Because saying that "Our E-Liquid flavorings are specifically made to be inhaled..." is making a Claim. It is also "Implying" a degree of "Safety".

And I question if VaporFI can support this Claim in the Context that e-Liquids are going to be used by the Average Vaper.

BTW - Here is the Contact Page for VaporFI.

VaporFi | Customer Support

I would be Curious to see what VaporFI response gives when Asked how exactly their Flavors were made to be Inhaled? And what type of Comparison data they have for their Flavorings vs. common Food Flavorings with regards to Inhalation Safety.

Any test of any flavoring will show it is "a step beyond food grade", because all limits imposed on test results are for a worst case scenario. Tests of real substance should be better than limits by definition.

I would not order from this site because its statements are misleading, and I do not like it and do not want to support it.

I agree. They're headed into dangerous territory. "Made to be inhaled" definitely implies their flavors are completely safe for that purpose, which is something that can't possibly be known without long-term studies. Yikes! If they're smart, they'll reword that claim to make it more clear that they're just guessing.

Interesting, Fapor Fi states it has “FDA Registered Lab - We've got a state of the art manufacturing facility. Our lab is registered with the FDA as a tobacco manufacturer”. So what? What is in common in tobacco manufacturing and flavorings for juices?

The good thing is “VaporFi E-Liquids are all diacetyl-free”.

If I mix some unflavoured, I'd certainly consider that "made to be inhaled".
And if I had flavorings that completely vaporized - meaning no residue: that would qualify, physically, for the description "made to be inhaled".
The 'safety' presumption is just that - erroneous supposition. "made to be inhaled" implies nothing about safety, just as 'made to be drank' implies nothing about safety.

And what about diacetyl? Made to be inhaled?

Exactly.

If you see two brands on a shelf side by side, and one brand says:
"Safe for inhalation"
but there's a cheaper brand that says:
"Made for inhalation"

Wouldn't you wonder why the cheaper brand wouldn't advertise their product as "Safe for inhalation" ?
