Whereas I applaud this type of Discussion from a Retailer, and the Article that was written, one this I found Very Curious was the Lack any of Quantified Amounts when referring to Malic Acid.

This is true. Literally ANY acid is dangerous in high enough molarity.

It just seems that since it is Very Difficult to even agree on what a Unified meaning of what the word "Safe" is, that at least we could Quantify what amounts of Malic Acid we are referring to?

I don't add any Malic Acid to my DIY e-liquids. So I Don't have any Frame of Reference to what type(s) of Concentrations might be used?

Thank you, bombastinator! We did quite a bit of research before formulating our opinion about this and it means a lot to hear it was helpful to a fellow vaper!

ZoiDman, every eliquid manufacturer uses different amounts of malic acid. We, obviously, decided not to use any because I don't feel comfortable with it being safe in any amount. Are you wondering what the general rage of use is?

More at what levels You felt Malic Acid might present problems for an average Vaper? But you answered that by saying You didn't feel comfortable using Any Amount.

Something I can Respect from the Manufacture of an e-Liquid.

It took a lot of digging to find any research on inhalation safety. I didn't find any that specified a particular threshold above which it presented a problem. I don't think that research has been done. My personal opinion is that anything that presents the kind of problems mentioned in the studies we linked to is something I don't want to inhale in any amounts, especially because there is no real need to. It's not a vital component of e-liquid or necessary to the vaping experience. So that's why we came down with a zero usage determination.
