In honor of breast cancer awareness month, and the pending ladies night out event... 1.3ohm coil, ProVari P3 (beta) w/v2.5 end cap @ 14.8W with pink LED set, and of course topped off with a Molehill Mountain drip tip.
juice is Suicide Bunny's Mother's Milk (fits the theme). Might be my last bottle of Suicide Bunny until all the diacetyl/AP mess blows over (pun intended).
After multiple tests by multiple people, MM didn't have any concerning levels of diacetyl, but did have concerning levels of AP. Dr. Farsalinos' tests showed 75% of juices have some detectable level of diacetyl and/or AP (which counts as "testing positive"). Those concerned should avoid all custards, milks/creams, coffee's, butters, nuts, and a lot of sweet flavors. It's too bad SB was called out like that, but it's now scary that 75% of the
juice tested has either diacetyl or AP. Who's ultimately to blame? The flavor manufacturers making false claims to
juice makers. They're used to using ingredients safe for consumption, not safe for breathing.
In Pip's defense, she was testing her juice (for diacetyl, not AP), however the lab's equipment had a MDL of 5ppm, and in order to be detected, they needed to test on equipment with an MDL in the ppb range to get a positive result. All this juice testing leads to the question, how much is considered safe? Levels in cigarettes are WAY higher, and popcorn factory workers diagnosed with "popcorn lung" were exposed to much higher levels, all day, for years. Even a guy who microwaved 3 bags of popcorn every day for 10 years (so the story goes) was the first person diagnosed with "popcorn lung" outside a microwave popcorn factory. If microwaving popcorn is dangerous, what about cooking with fake butter (margarine, etc.)? Best take 2 steps back from the stove, and air out the house. At least this is at the forefront of current research.

There's also the ProVari v2.5 "Pink Ribbon Edition" for the same cause:
ProVari Pink Ribbon Electronic Cigarettes: Pink Ribbon Electric Cigarette, Pink Ribbon E-Cigarette
Update: I just read that NIOSH has set the safe level of 137ug (micrograms)/day for factory workers breathing AP. Mother's Milk has 400ug/ml, so vaping 5ml/day is 14.6x more than what's considered safe. Diacetyl, the chemical that started all this, was only detected at 5.46ug. Both chemicals are considered equally bad.
