I'm not yet willing to buy into a theory that the goodness of TFA flavors ordered directly from TFA is dependent upon the size of the bottles. Then again, the only TFA flavors that I've ordered in multiple sizes from TFA are Clear Double Chocolate and Maraschino Cherry. My 120 ml bottles in plastic seem to me to be the same in strength and quality as the 6 ml bottles in glass.
I hope so because I have a 120ml bottle of Strawberry Real that I need to go through. Never do anything halfway you know! ;)

I'm really leaning towards it being the flavoring. Read below.

Do you mean bottle sizes? This is TFA. Never had a problem with the small glass vials, the larger plastic ones haven't been that great. One bottle was horrible.

Thank you.

You're very welcome. And yes on bottle size. Do hope ya can solve/resolve da issue!

54 degrees here.
On another note. Got a COPD test. Passed. But the doc/tech was wondering why I didn't go the patch. I sure wish I was younger so I could remember all I learned about vapes to hit her with the... duh. More poison it that than ecigs. Not to mention that they don't work. At all. Unless you really do want to quit and don't mind suffering for a few muntz. Or longer.

I often think that folks who never smoked have no clue what they're missing. And folks that quit... get kinda sadistic towardz those who didn't or won't or can't! :D

Yeah I passed too with a couple more nodules on my lungs. That's if passed means you have it.

I'm leaning more towards what the bottle is made of, not the size. Ordered more vials, we'll see. I hated those plastic EVOD tanks because all I could taste from them was the plastic. Perhaps I'm more sensitive to the taste of plastic or that particular flavor reacts more to the plastic. Been through numerous vials over a long period of time with no problem, five larger bottles and all taste icky to horrid. I'll try a taste test when the new stuff arrives.

Gary, congratulations! :) Legs, I assume that means you are holding your own against it?

I guess they do a CT every 3 months and I use Symbicort. They did find a couple more little spots. My 02 level runs about 95%. I haven't seen the pics but by the sounds of it they are pretty scarred up.

So I've spent the evening commenting and contradicting information on diacetyl and vaping on I Freaking Love Science (or the original wording for IFLS) leading to an incredible urge to have some popcorn. Heading for the microwave now.

Nope.

:)

Big difference though between working in the factory 40 hours a week and nuking one bag.

And between the factory atmosphere and vaping a 1% diacetyl flavor diluted with the rest of the flavor, pg, vg and nic.

(Although all my mixes are free...)

That was the idea. They kept referring to popcorn lung....:D

The whole thread I was on was from a study of diacetyl in e-liquids.

@bigbells Well whats the verdict Dave? Is that thing any good?
The verdict on the RX 200? Haven't messed with it much yet. The SS 304 coil I'm using works better on the DNA 200 but I'm guessing if I mess around with the settings it would work just as well on the RX 200.

Yes, you're the only one. The rest of us aren't smart enough. Sheesh.

Oh, and didn't the anti-smoking commercials always make you want a smoke? Did me! :lol:
Ay, yup! Would have made me want to light one up if I didn't already have one going, which was pretty much guaranteed to be the case.

Yes, you're the only one. The rest of us aren't smart enough. In other words, you don't have much regard for the intelligence of your friends in the forum.

Likely threat. You are beloved. Don't let Bells get your goat. He likes to get cantankerous and see if he can get a rise out of people. Best ignored (even if you have to hit the ignore button) when he gets like that.
