I would absolutely continue to buy the current mix of both 'nillas.

My personal concern with diketones has always been with non-disclosure and lies, not that some of the most flavorful e-liquids include them.

You publish your test results so consumers can make their own decision as to what level of potential harm (real or perceived) they're willing to accept.

For me, that's enough. :thumb:
I agree too. :)

Here's the deal... the new formula, bites. We have tried and tried, but we can't recreate the creamy, mouth-watering Frenilla and Strawnilla that you have all come to know and love. I hate to say it, diketones make it taste good. We could not put up a re-worked Frenilla or Strawnilla with the new recipe. If we are going to bring them back, it's going to be "warts and all." Of course we would heavily disclose the diketones on it. But I'm not sure if the juice is worth the squeeze... would you buy them knowing that we couldn't change the recipe and that the diketone levels would remain where they are?
Yes yes YES!!!!! I only vape Nicoticket juice and I'm way better off vaping then what is in cigs.:)

In a heartbeat. I know I haven't been on the forums in forever and a day but losing Frenilla/Strawnilla was enough of a wake-up call that I had to give my input. I just ran out of the last of my Strawnilla and I'm down to my last bottle of Frenilla. Kept watching to see when the restock would hit, when it didn't, that's when I hit the chat window to ask. Nice talking with you, btw, Katy.

Like so many others have said, after years of smoking cigarettes, I'm sure as hell not going to complain about diketone levels in my juice. Continued love and support to my still favorite juice maker and the NuThouse family. xoxo

Until they come out with documented cases of inhailing diketones in the amounts we are doing so in ejuice causing measurable harm, I will keep vaping the Strawnilla. For me there is seriously no substitute, and if I find an alternative it will probably have MORE diketones in it that Nicoticket's do. So basically you would just be pushing your customers to find an alternative, not saving them (or at least most of them) from harm. if you are forced to by regulations, then that's a different story, but until then diketone me up man!

I vape Strawnilla and GCD all day every day. For GCD since August 2013 and Strawnilla consistently since I got my TC device in 2014. Even having influenza A my doc said my lungs were really clear and sounded better than when I was smoking. So bring on the current joy of Strawnilla!! :headbang:

I appreciate the industry self identifying this possible risk, and the free disclosure that NT and several vendors of their juice contents. In a recent article in Rolling Stone Magazine that rebutted the Harvard study (among other myths), it said that tobacco cigarettes were known to have levels of diacetyl 100 times that observed in e-liquids. Frenilla might be an outlier, and it may be 10 or 5 or whatever. But I am convinced if popcorn lung were possible from diketones from my habits, I'd have it already.
Tee 'em up.

We prioritized the line-up based on the diketone results. We were planning on discontinuing it, but we've got a deluge of inquiries not to. So, whats the verdict - should we just keep them?

I guess I NEED to come out of hiding (been too busy for too long to hop on here post :facepalm::grr:)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back and continue to offer the 'nillas!!!! :nun:

As stated, we all know the risks (which are EXPONENTIALLY LESS than from which most of us came). That said, I have vaped NOTHING BUT Nicoticket juice since I first discovered the mastery that is Superman's perfection and the love and artisanship with which his juices are made. :drool::vapor: I've PIF'd MANY bottles to many people and converted 13 FORMER smokers to vaping.....WITH STRAWNILLA!!!

As I began sub-ohming, Strawnilla seemed to lose its "sweetness at higher wattages (for me) and I set it back in my boxes FILLED exclusively with NT juices. I've recently begun Temp Control vaping and....ohhhhh MYYYYYYY!!!! I've fallen in love with the mighty Strawnilla all over again!!!:drool::vapor::banana::thumbs::wub:

SUPERMAN, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ONE OF YOUR VERY BEST AND HIGHEST AWARD-WINNING JUICES FROM US! :nun::ohmy::nun::cry: I understand your decision to be ahead of the curve for when/if the FDA regs come crashing down on our safER haven, but I IMPLORE YOU to consider our pleas to continue to offer such a wonderful prize-winning juice for us faithful that have grown to adore you so for them.

By all means, disclose all you feel necessary so that we may then make our own (informed) decision on still enjoying something that is still HUNDREDS OF TIMES SAFER than the vile toxic poisons that we once were slaves to....with several hundred LESS chemicals!

I, for one (and speaking for several that I've discussed this with!) will continue to buy both of the 'nillas regardless!

One question.....since Frenilla is a key component of many of NT's other juices, IF it is also dropped, what then becomes of the other flavors (that I also vape DAILY!?!?). :shock::?::confused:

Nothin but love for you, my NT family! :wub:

    In vaping as a community we probably shouldn't be so ok with using one of the horrible chemicals from cigarettes in our new, safer alternative.
    However, based on the concerns from the substance, if it really is 100x more in cigarettes than it is in our juice, is that really too concerning?
    As so many of us Vape nicoticket exclusively (myself included), at the rate many of us Vape, I agree we probably would have started seeing or hearing something about it.
    Personally, until it is scientifically proven to cause this, in the amounts were using, I refuse to give into fear mongering.

    Keep both!

    I know these stories are getting old to the Nicoticket faithful, but I just ordered 4 60ml bottles of my favorite strawberry nectar, and not only was it at my door two days later, but there were 6 60ml bottles instead of 4! Thank you!

    And yes, keep the current formula please!
