Question about pg/vg content in flavors

[SDGIANTSFAN]

recieved a batch of TFA flavors today, and was looking at the spec sheets on each flavor on their site.

Question is.....On the Berry Crunch flavor it says in the composition of ingredients it has 10% PG



What is the > next to it saying to me?

in calculator is this the number I need to put the vg/pg properties of each flavor

Sorry the picture came out so big, its on imgur and I copied the link there

Thanks for the help

Almost all flavorings are PG based and the good calculators will add that as part of the blend when you put in the amount of each flavoring

>= means greater than or equal to

It is "greater than or equal to" 10% PG. Could be 70%-97% with the specs provided. I would just call it 100% PG for the calculations, since I don't see any other common base fluids, such as PGA or VG.

Thanks....All of you, great info here.....now off to my mad scientists workshop

Interesting reading...

Inhalation: may be harmful if inhaled.
In case of inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air.

And from Wikipedia: Benzaldehyde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Safety
Benzaldehyde has been classified as a hazardous substance by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.[8]

Benzaldehyde is used as a flavoring and fragrance in food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and soap and is "generally regarded as safe" (GRAS) by the US FDA.[9]

To laugh or not to laugh...

 

[Hoosier]

Most, if not all, liquids and solids are marked as harmful if inhaled. Just the nature of the state.

 

[Boletus]

The only thing that is generally "safe" to inhale is clean air (and not everybody has access to that, unfortunately.) Even concentrated oxygen has deleterious effects.

Flavor Inhalation Safety
Inhalation of flavor chemical blends by use of electronic cigarettes is a popular and more chemically pure alternative to traditional tobacco smoking. However, please note that this use of flavors is a relatively new practice, and has not been safety-tested by any official organizations. Therefore, we are not able to guarantee that any flavor is safe for this use. This would also be true for any other flavor manufacturer. There are no companies that can guarantee that any flavor is safe for long-term use. There has just not been enough time to do this kind of testing.

Link to their list of MSDSs

Lastly... from within that specsheet...

This product contains no added diacetyl as an ingredient. However, because diacetyl can occur in small amounts as an artifact of the production process in other ingredients, "No Added Diacetyl" products may not be "Diacetyl Free", as trace amounts may be present.

I don't like that last part... it feels like a cop out to me... something like 'We will just say "No Added" on our stuff instead of checking it." But, I do like that they at least point this out.

To be fair, they are right that so many things haven't been tested for inhalation, specially as a heated vapor... but many things are KNOWN to be bad, so at least we have a start.
