Severe Food Allergies

[BigLou]

I have life-threatening allergies to tree nuts. Peanuts are not a big problem but I stay away from them as well.

Obviously I would not use an Almond favor juice. What if a mixer of, let's say, a chocolate favor juice added almond or other nut extract. Taking that directly into my lungs might kill me, epi-pen or not.

Has anyone else heard of a problem with this issue?

Lou, I'm surprised no one has responded and I can't help you with your issue and won't even recommend a vendor to talk to since I don't know any of the personally. Hopefully someone can recommend someone or one will step forward and offer to speak with you.

If I were in your situation, I would want to speak directly with the source and explain your allergies and insure you stayed away from anything with tree nut extract. I would think that you'd be able to establish a relationship to insure you've got safe liquid. If it were me, I'd limit my choices to US or UK vendors that are doing all their formulas in house and remember, they all are probably getting their flavoring ingredients from a third party so you may have to dig a bit deeper. Some have been vaping unflavored, but that doesn't seem like a fun solution. Good luck.

Thank you rothenbj.

Just got my first supplies yesterday and here is what I did- I got the benadryl and epi-pen ready. I took in one puff mouth only. No lungs or sinus. I waiting 6 or 7 minutes. If I was going to have a problem, I would have known in that time. One puff mouth only could cause me a problem if I had a reaction, but I doubt it would kill me (meds ready).
