Why would a nicotine e-juice vendor use vitamin E acetate?

Dean,
If you must vape THC, do not vape from a prefilled cart.
Select flower or certified clean extracts from licensed vendors.
Avoid the black market.

It is an anti-spam measure. (case in point )

Then you will be mixing a long time. Our nic juice vendors are responsible and have the sense to know killing off the customer base is bad business. IMO the average commercial juice manufacturer has nothing to prove since we've been vaping their juices for a decade or more. The vaping community as a whole has done a pretty good job policing themselves for our benefit.

That being said welcome to ecf and if you need help getting started with diy we're happy to help.

I’m pretty sure for the most part, when someone uses the phrase e liquid or e juice in this forum, we’re all taking nic juice, not liquid with THC. No contaminated nic juice has been discovered so I’m not worried about it.

If you’re vaping THC, I second what @Izan said.

You’re not going to get a reply to your query from juice vendors though, not here anyway. If you’re serious about asking them you need to contact them directly.

So, lots of Noise.... but for others?

I have heard from Solace Salts - official position. They use NO vitamin E acetate.

I have heard from Vape Juice Depot - official position. They sell NOTHING containing vitamin E acetate.

Now - any other Vendors that wish to kick in? Else I would encourage you to verify that your E Juice does NOT contain any vitamin E acetate, by reading the detailed list of ingredients on the back label . Good luck with that .

In the mean time? I have two solid vendors that have disavowed the use of vitamin E acetate. Care to post others?

Don't be ......ed. "Vitamin-C Acetate" is a thickener used to make diluted THC or CBD oil mimic the qualities of the undiluted stuff. Adding it makes no sense whatsoever unless you're selling oil, which nicotine vendors are not. Save your outrage for a cause that makes sense.

You are dead right.....
I'm being ......ed, wasting my time with this forum. No one wants facts - they just wish to crap on each other.

Have a grat day - going elsewhere, and NOT posting the very GOOD communication that these vendors sent me.

Try to wipe yourself, assuming you have time.

Cut out the passive-aggressive, face-saving gesticulations. You done screwed up, son, and doubling down on ignorance won't get you anywhere. This forum demands quality, not quantity. Fervency is no substitute.

And in case you are entirely ignorant, know that in the ECF community "vaping" does mean, and always strictly referred to, vaping nicotine e-liquid. Unless you're posting in the newly-created Cannabis subforum, which you are not. We don't subscribe to the 2019 American propaganda campaign that lumps all forms of vaping together as one.

You're simply not understanding our pov, we trust who we buy juice from. This forum is very useful for finding trusted vendors and manufacturers. We trust each other, we are a community. Up to you if you wish to join, you are more than welcome to; just don't force our vendors into a defensive posture. They don't deserve that.

 

[Beamslider]

Is this even a serious question? Why would they use it? it would be very thick and probably a lot more expensive than PG or VG.

It is used in black market THC carts to make it look thick when it is watered down

The media has grouped the thc vitamin e health problem with normal nicotine vaping, and you just did the same on a vaping forum, you really surprised with the responses here

Vitamin E is not used in normal vape juice.

 

[vaper1960]

Dean Marino, welcome to ECF... Not! Do soda makers assure you they don't use it? Do you demand that every single soda maker guarantee you they don't use it? Do you go on a soda forum demanding such things? I don't get your attitude dude.

Breakthrough in CDC vaping illness investigation: Vitamin E acetate and THC may be to blame

 

[Hawise]

Now - any other Vendors that wish to kick in?

Leaving aside for the moment the whole question of why a nic ejuice vendor would ever use Vit. E acetate in the first place, there's also the fact that no vendors are going to answer here because suppliers, including e-juice vendors, are not permitted to post in this forum.

I strongly suggest that you spend a little time learning about how this forum works before participating further.

Actually, I do have another question. As vitamin E acetate offers no benefit to nicotine ejuices, the only possible reason for a vendor to include it would be to deliberately poison their customers. Should a vendor choose such a course of action, what makes you think they would hesitate to deny it? In other words, what is the value of the pronouncements you're seeking?

 

[vaper1960]

BTW, there is also evidence some of the THC products contain a pesticide (used on the plant while growing) that forms cyanide when heated. (I'm not going to find a link right now... do your own homework... oh I forgot, if you had done that, you wouldn't have posted this thread)

 

[vaper1960]

Maybe you should ask these guys?

 

[LoveVanilla]

Well, little doubt the CDC has homed in on a root cause (discussed on this board for three months). We know vitamin E acetate is not used in nicotine juice but widely reported in THC. Slam-dunk case, right? Well, not so fast.

Guess what the CDC actually said:

“known additive” that has been known to be used on the black market to “dilute” or thicken the liquid in e-cigarette or THC vaping products.

So there it is. The CDC is stating that vitamin E acetate is used in e-cigarette liquids. Oh, and by the way, also in THC vaping products. This is a massively misleading and disingenuous announcement that will cost lives.

I am past the point of overlooking their faux pas — this is now dangerous. And appears deliberate The only thing in common between these two products is the word "vaping".

Local TV news carried the story here and never said a word about black market THC. They laid the blame at the feet of "vaping". This is a problem.

If truth mattered to the CDC, they would have written:

a “known additive” that has been known to be used on the black market to “dilute” or thicken THC liquid in e-cigarette or vaping products.

But that is not what they wrote....
