As the title says after I take a hit from my vape I always get this taste of the oil on my lip where I placed the vape. Not only does it happen on my current build, but it has happened in the past with a friend's vape. I was wondering if this is at all safe or is there a way to fix it? Since the labelling and the ingredients seem quite hazardous. My current build is an Aspire Atlantis with a nemesis mech mod.

Is your juice thick or thin, high pg or high vg... is your coil spitting? Does this happen with other types of tanks? try adjusting wattage to make sure all the juice is being heated properly.

I would want a vv for an atlantis or a regulated mod like the CF SUB battery. I have heard about misting juice twice now from them being used on mech mods.

I use my Atlantis on the CF SUB without issue.

Which ingredients seem hazardous? If they strike you as hazardous, vaping might not be for you. The juice I use has FDA approved nicotine, PG/VG and flavors.

How exactly did you come to the conclusion that your juice is made up of "FDA approved" ingredients..?

If it's the place you buy it from making the claim... they are flat out lying.

There is no FDA approved e-juice. None of the individual ingredients are FDA approved for use as e-juice.

Even the artificial food flavorings used in making e-juice may be classified as safe for human consumption by the FDA but that classification is for ingestion only. As far as I know... no one has certified any flavorings as safe for inhalation. That element gets really murky when you consider the complex concoctions being churned out with multiple flavor mixes, sweeteners and other chemical additives going into retail e-juice flavors.

If the ingredients aren't safe for inhalation, then I'm going to enjoy my self-destruction all the way to the grave ;)

If you look at the WHOLE post, you may notice that the poster referred to FDA approved NICOTINE, not juice.

Try reading ALL the words next time - it makes for better communication and all that...

I guess I've been lying to myself since I DIY but you make a good point about them not being approved for this purpose. Still, I feel pretty safe with the limited ingredient mix.

Perhaps a bit off topic, but why are we seeking FDA approval for e-juice anyway? Did we care about FDA approval of all of the thousands of ingredients in cigarettes? :confused:

Vaping may be more healthy than smoking, but it is not a health/wellness type of activity. I personally find it odd that some people and companies take that particular angle towards the marketing and promotion of e-cigs. :facepalm:

Another off topic:
Some nicotine containers will have a USP approved label which is good I want my nic to be from a lab tested US Pharmacopeia but FDA approved I have yet to see one from the four I bought from.
And yes they do ( some ) ejuice bottles have a label with the words diacetyl or acetyl proprianate on them as well they should but please folks lets not let this become a volatile subject please........
 
Whenever I use a sub ohm build with 50/50 pg/vf I tend to get a lot of hot juice sparks. Some of them end up around the drip tip and make their way to my lip.

if your juice is manufactured appropriately it should be composed of food grade ingredients only.
the only real concern is nicotine overdose if you are smoking like 24 mg...but I mean you would have to drink more then a few sparks...

According to the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicolog at, Karl-Franzens University (Austria) who tested the potential lower limit of nicotine overdose (specifically due to the rise of nicotine liquid ie. vaping), a cautious estimate puts the lower limit at 500-1000 mg

In essence, you'd have to drink more then 20 mL of 24mg....which I am sure you don't.

If you have access to journals the article is called "How much nicotine kills a human? Tracing back the generally accepted lethal dose to dubious self-experiments in the nineteenth century" published by Bernd Mayer

To understand it in depth you will need a bit of understanding about toxicology, but the gist of it, as it applies to the toxicity of nicotine is understandable to most =).

Hope this helps increase your knowledge about your ejuice!
