Safest e-liquids?

[espressowithsugar]

I don't want popcorn lung! How can I tell which products don't have diacetyl? I bought a product called "vape King" with a dodgy looking sticker on it saying "18 mg", that's it. Another one, called "OMC", says "12 mg" and then "Propylene Glycol, Vegeteble Glycerine, Nicotine, Natural and Artificial Flavours".

Which formulations are least likely to cause irritation or carry risk, and how can I tell what they are?

And stay away from custards specifically and butterscotch, creams, pies etc ... unless it's from a vendor that provides a lab certificate for the product.

Thank you!

Ok - so basically, I should stick to fruity and tobaccoey flavours, then, thank you.

What about propylene glycol vs. vegetable glycerin? I'm reading here that lots of people react to the first - best to stay away from that, too?

As far as I know, the FDA has deemed both as "safe". Both are used in hundreds of products I'm willing to bet are already in your home.

Having said that, I do however have a slight intolerance to PG. Juices high in PG tend to make my throat a little irritated. Kinda like the very first signs of a cold coming on. I started using a higher VG ratio juice and haven't had a problem since.

Good to know - thanks!

Check out Seduce Juice. They post an image of their independent lab results next to the juice. This is what vendors ought to do.

Thank you I've seen here, though, that there have been issues with one of the juices from that company, was it Suicide Bunny?

I agree, I'd like to see a full list of ingredients..

I'm allergic to PC (can't sleep, tight feeling in chest, muscle pain and burning eyes) so I tried 100% VG and sacrificed the taste instead. Didn't like it so I started adding a bit of 100% PG and then tried a 60 VG/40PG combo, which worked out perfect for me. You might have to try a bit and see what works for you.

Ah, so it will take some experimenting. That's ok Thank you for sharing

Consider vaping unflavored. I vape mostly unflavored, mainly because I get tired of flavors quickly but also because of the unknown effects of vaping flavorings

That is an excellent idea. Thank you!

They don't manufacture Suicide Bunny. Check out their signature line that they produce.
