For the subject of Diacetyl and the search for flavors not containing them, I will post the following response I received from Capella Flavor Drops after enquiring of their use of it.
I have been given permission by Tom to share this information with the community, and want to offer yet another alternative for a known flavoring company that many use for DIY.
I will post his reply to my email to them without my original email content as it contains a lot of other inquiries that are unrelated and/or irrelevent to the subject of this
thread
I also want to point out that I "personally" am not of the concerned camp, and have made the personal decision/choice that no matter what I'm doing or inhaling, it HAS to be better than what I was previously with processed
tobacco cigarettes, yet had the opportunity to ask on behalf of my fellow members who are concerned:

Hi Greg,
I understand.
Let me clarify a few things for you and your community.
While Diacetyl is a natural occurring compound found in Butter and products containing butter. Our flavors are all GRAS flavorings which do not contain any dairy, butter, creams, etc. And on another note we do NOT add any Diacetyl to our flavors ( there is no point in us doing that ).
All of our flavors are Food Grade Flavorings and are intended to flavor foods and beverages, thats what we make our flavors for. I dont believe there is any company that should be saying their flavors are for
e-liquids, etc since there is just not enough data to substantiate that their flavors would be safe for such a use.
Let me know if you have any other questions and I will be more than happy to answer any questions anyone has regarding flavors and the chemistry of.
Thanks again and have a great holiday!
