Hi Kent, I have never ordered from you and before I do I have a few questions. I would really like to try H1N1 and was wondering if it contained any of the following?
1- Acetoin
2- Acutyle Propionyl
3- Cinnamon
Thank you
There is no naturally or artificially flavored cinnamon in H1N1 - that said, understand, cinnamaldehyde (imparts the cinnamon'ish flavor in sufficient concentration) is a core component of lots of different flavorings besides cinnamon (in small quantities) so it may be present in small quantities in any/all of the liquid.
The same holds true for acetyl propionyl and acetoin - the vanilla flavoring that is contained in H1N1 is naturally extracted vanilla, made from vanilla beans imported from Madagasgar. There is no "artificial custard flavoring" in H1N1 that would give reason for pause in H1N1. That said, caramel is another flavoring that has been known to contain trace amounts of diketones. The levels are typically significantly lower than would be found in a custard
eliquid, but they may be present in trace amounts.
One of the key issues of concern for us, an issue that has not been addressed by the wider research community, is the issue of "
thresholds." Virtually all artificial flavoring contains trace elements of flavor molecules that gives reason for pause, but, how much is "acceptable." Without guidance from the research community, I'm not sure I am adequately prepared to say ANY
eliquid is "safe for consumption." That said, one taste of H1N1 will inevitably reveal the absence of the "full-mouth feel" that is typically associated with significant quantities of dike-tones, so I can be reasonably confident that the levels are significantly less than the liquid which are known to contain said flavoring molecules (Custard's Last Stand, Creme Brulee, and to a lesser degree... Frenilla).
Mind you - I am not a scientist (never pretended to be one). By choosing best of breed flavoring suppliers, we have placed our trust in said suppliers that the contents of the flavor are "as advertised." If they assure us it contains no diacetyl, for example, we take that at face value. Based on our inquiries with the respective flavoring vendors, we have no reason to believe the above molecules exist in sufficient quantities to give reason for concern. Totally absent? I doubt it, but I don't think any vendor knows the answer to that question because we all rely on the good faith disclosure of the flavoring vendors.
