Am I correct in saying that none of these flavors have good coloring either?



Assuming you mean food coloring. No, don't believe the component analysis tested for food colorings. However, TFA previously marked those with caramel coloring and are excluded. Additionally I did a thorough visual inspection on my flavors and detect none -- all are translucent and clear, pale yellow or light brown.

Seems a worthwhile community project to scan the remainder. Here are the "choice" flavors I don't have/couldn't check:

Absinthe Flavor **
Acai Flavor
Apple Candy Flavor
Apricot Flavor
Bacon Flavor
Blueberry (Wild) Flavor
Blueberry Candy Flavor (PG)
Blueberry Candy Flavor (Triacetin)
Bubblegum (Juicy Style)
Bubblegum Flavor
Cheesecake (Graham Crust)

Passion Fruit Flavor
Pina Colada Flavor

Also stopped using the RY4 Asian (untested); coumarin suspected. Can anyone guess why? It's insight worth having. Cheers!

should we be avoiding the essential oil ones?

Some flavorings not marked as oils are made from natural plant extracts that contain oil so what's the difference?

You don't get natural Peppermint, Lemon, Orange, Lime and such without at the very least trace amounts of oil.

Ya think I can buy stock in FlavourArt...I have a feeling it's value is going to drastically increase

I don't understand what you mean..? TFA is The Flavors Apprentice, did you mean you have a feeling that TFA stock will rise due to it's willingness to disclose ingredients? FlavourArt and TFA are two separate businesses right?

FlavourArt has also given full disclosure on their testing results. They were one of the firsts.

What's the deal with coumarin now?!

This one didn't start with vaping. Eating too much (cassia) cinnamon can cause liver damage, due to the high amount of coumarin. Ceylon cinnamon has only 1/63 as much coumarin, but it costs more. Cassia is by far the more common one. In Scandinavian countries, they're actually trying to limit the amount of cinnamon that can be used on their pastries, due to the coumarin. Maybe they should just use cassia instead, huh? Here's an article about ingesting coumarin: Coumarin In Cinnamon Causes Liver Damage In Some People - Medical News Today I haven't seen anything scientific regarding inhalation.

Yes, exactly. It's toxic to rats, and "somewhat toxic" to humans. There seems to have a been a big "coumarin scare" in the 50's. Eh, I don't use too much of it. I'll take my chances.

Smoking brought me a nasty blood clot that put me in the ICU by age 25 which ended me up on Coumadin. In fact people take prescription drugs every day of the week that destroy livers, cause blood pressure issues and all types of other things without a care. I'd rather take my chances with Coumarin over the much more dangerous stuff like arsenic, formaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide found in cigarettes.
