I saw a post on here stating that the vape Monkey's Monkey Cream has a trace of diacetyl. Can anyone tell me if the conclusion was that its enough to be harmful? vpingmonkey said that he sent it to the lab, but there was no reply? Does anyone have any clue?

Yeah its my all day vape until i heard this news. I will call them and find out. Thanks.
Ok. Just spoke with Vape Rev and they told me that there is a hint of diacetyl because its a cream based e juice, but the amount is very minimal that it is not enough the cause any damage.
Not enough to do damage? What damage would happen even if its minimal? I would like to see that info. From what we all know diacetyl is in butter/popcorn and other food items. We've consumed buttered popcorn for ages, but it's meant for consumption. Diacetyl is only dangerous when it is heated and inhaled; which us vapors do.
So, do you chance a hint of minimal damage caused by our so called healthier alternative to smoking?
Diacetyl (popcorn workers lung) (c/o wikipedia)
Diacetyl
In rare instances, bronchiolitis obliterans may be caused by inhalation of airborne diacetyl, a chemical used to produce the artificial butter flavoring[8] in many foods such as candy and microwave popcorn and occurring naturally in wines. This first came to public attention when eight former employees of the Gilster-Mary Lee popcorn plant in Jasper, Missouri, developed bronchiolitis obliterans. In 2000, the Missouri Department of Health called in NIOSH to make a determination of the cause, and to recommend safety measures. After surveying the plant and each patient's medical history, NIOSH recommended respiratory protection for all workers in microwave popcorn production. Due to this event, bronchiolitis obliterans began to be referred to in the popular media as "Popcorn Lung" or "Popcorn Workers Lung".[4][8][9]
In 2007 a heavy consumer of microwaved popcorn was diagnosed by a doctor in Denver with "popcorn lung," the first known case involving a consumer.[13] On 16 January 2008, it was announced that Wayne Watson, the Denver consumer who developed "popcorn lung" after inhaling fumes from microwaved popcorn, was suing the Kroger grocery store chain and its affiliates. In the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court, Watson's attorney claimed that the companies "failed to warn that preparing microwave popcorn in a microwave oven as intended and smelling the buttery aroma could expose the consumer to an inhalation hazard and a risk of lung injury."[16] On September 19, 2012 a jury in U.S. District Court in Denver awarded $2.3 million in actual damages and $5 million in punitive damages to Wayne Watson of Centennial, Colorado who habitually consumed microwave popcorn for a decade. Defendants included Glister-Mary Lee, the manufacturer; Kroger, and Kroger's subsidiary Dillons, owners of King Soopers & City Market, a Colorado regional supermarket chain.[9][10] [11]
On 27 August 2007, Weaver Popcorn Company of Indianapolis promised to replace the diacetyl butter flavor ingredient in Pop Weaver popcorn with another flavoring.[14]
In September 2007, Dr. Cecile Rose, pulmonary specialist at Denver's National Jewish Medical and Research Center, warned federal agencies that consumers, not just flavoring or food factory workers, may be in danger of contracting bronchiolitis obliterans. David Michaels, of the George Washington University School of Public Health, first published Rose's warning letter on his blog.[10][11][12]
On 4 September 2007, the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers recommended reduction of diacetyl in butter-like flavorings. The next day ConAgra Foods announced that it would soon remove diacetyl from its popcorn products.[15]
Diacetyl is approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a safe flavor ingredient, but there is evidence to suggest that inhalation in large amounts is dangerous. There are currently no warnings from federal regulators about diacetyl.
Diacetyl is in the imitation butter flavoring sprinkled in popcorn. I personally prefer melting real butter and pouring it on the popcorn. LOL.
Reliable and responsible vendors post if their flavors contain diacetyl.

"evidence to suggest that inhalation in large amounts is dangerous" The amount of Diacetyl in the monkey cream is very minimal. So you are not inhaling Large amounts that would be harmful to your lungs. In any case, inhaling anything but clean air is harmful to your lungs and can cause damage. For instance, I live in Los Angeles. The smog alone can mess up my lungs. I guess it all comes down to your discretion. Vape it if you want to, and don't vape it if you don't. Happy vaping everyone! =)
While it is up to each person to decide if they want to take the chance, to me this falls under anything we breath in will not be 100% safe, so how can they say there isn't enough to cause any damage?
Thanks for the heads up Cj ... I was heading out to VR to purchase MC. Ill just wait when all is good ......

Not sure if they have yet or not but the formula is being changed from what I hear to eliminate the problem and im sure one would have to vape it for an extended period to have any problems
I'm a label reader at the grocery store and IF anything good comes from FDA intervention, list of all ingredients seems Ionesco thing I'm OK with
