I just bought some peppermint flavored cartos and was wondering if they were safe to vape. I read that they were diacetyl-free but also that oil-based flavorings should be avoided. Is this true? If so, should I just get rid of them or would it be ok to finish the 5? I read it was only dangerous when used for a prolonged amount of time.
Oil-based flavors?

Yes they should be avoided though a few are used with extra care in making the juice. Sometimes citrus, some nuts, I think cinnamon and ginger, are oil-based in alcohol. Read the guide in the DIY section (which I think is in Tips & Tricks).
I'm still confused. I use a cheap automatic e cig (EonSmoke) and I'm new to vaping. Honestly, I was never a smoker but I decided to start vaping. I'm just worried about peppermint cartos (I dont use e liquids or fill my own attys yet) containing soybean oil which is apparently harmful to inhale. So my question is, should I just get rid of the peppermint cartos or vape them and buy oil free flavors next time? I'm not sure about the peppermint cartos containing soybean oil because I can't find anything about it. I did read another thread that showed a list of flavors to avoid which included peppermint. I can't find that thread again.

I never heard anything about peppermint but I am not a mint/menthol person.

Also this forum overall isn't supportive of non-smokers taking up vaping. Nobody here thinks vaping is a safe as breathing air. But we do think it's safer than the cigarettes we were addicted to.

Peppermint flavoring does not have to be from peppermint oil. There are other ways to make the flavor, so your peppermint may not be oil. I have no idea why soybean oil would be used for anything in juice.
Also, I have used oils in making juice and it requires very little. So I would use a tiny amount of natural peppermint oil to get the same flavor as compared to artificial peppermint flavoring.
But, I am a former smoker and vaping is a reduced harm process over the burning tobacco. So just about anything I put in my juice is much less harmful than the smoke I used to inhale. If I was not a former smoker, I would seriously question why I would be wanting to inhale something that may be harmful even if it is less harmful than smoke that I had never inhaled.
I am not under any illusion that vaping is perfectly safe, so the thought of a nonsmoker picking up the vaping habit is an odd one to me. If there is a need to self-medicate with nicotine, there are safer ways to do so than vaping. It does not look cool and there are plenty of much more fantastic ways to taste flavors than sucking on mini fog machines like eating them.

There are vendors that sell non oil water based menthol drops. Ask the vendor if their mint is water based. I know flavorarts carries a water based menthol.
At the very least, you should be vaping zero nicotine juice.
NICOTINE IS AS ADDICTIVE AS OPIATES IT IS NOTHING TO TOY WITH. I WOULD SPARE YOU THIS BURDEN THAT I HAVE PLACED ON MYSELF.
Vape away. It's a pleasant hobby. But don't get hooked on this drug if you are not already.
