HEY!! Miss ya too! I don't have anything to add to the gourmet thread and don't wanna tempt myself/feel left out from all the juices :cry: I'm WAY down to only 7 flavors myself and one is unflavored LOLOL. All Halo which I do love them and actually the only vendor I've stuck with from the beginning of my vaping (TPR is a close second but I'm wanting ZERO traces and they still have traces), but I am needing something different

Think I'm gonna try a blueberry tobacco or the like from MOV. I wish dang Ahlusions would test bcoz I do love their creams and "cakes". The FB page I'm referring to is just like this thread. People who are discussing DA/AP free vendors and listing them. I'm not sure what someone saw in the results that caused them to pause, but it did. They basically have the same vendors listed that we do and they only want to list vendors who publicly disclose the results versus those just emailing a few people, again like we are trying to do.

The question is actually a post by Dr. Gene Gillman from Enthalpy on the units of measure for the Good Life tests. More information can be found here under a post about Good Life from Eric Salamon.

"Looks like this report has an error for the non-detected samples. The units in the header are mg/ml. That's part per thousand, most other reports are in ppm. 1 mg =1000 ug. I think the limit of detection should have been listed as <5 ppm not <0.005 ppm. I'm not questioning the results but the reported value for non detects seems to be off by a factor of 1000. FYI, The values for all hits will need to be X 1000 in order to be converted into parts per million (ug/ml)."

Oh okay then well, I do wished Ahlusion could be on the list as well. I'm just not up to testing 10 or so flavors from other vendors and ending up with 50 big nopes in a box.
5 from A+
A couple from TPR that have tested zero, and dang it, this Charlie Noble Pistachio RY4 is so good I can't not order this one lol.

No wonder ppl are freaking out?

I didn't care for the couple of Charlie Noble's I tried (are they high VG? Could explain why) ANd I do need to look back at TPR and see which were zero detected. I think after the results came out and my favs were higher, I was so deflated and sad, I didn't even bother looking at the list again.

ETA- @Sirius , did TPR ever post their results directly on their website??? Looking now and see nothing. Not liking that :-x

I'm down to basically one vendor now, Halo, but would love to add a few more but want DA/AP FREE. I'm trying MOV next.
Have you tried the Black Calico from Halo yet?
I'm loving it, but you know how that "taste is subjective" thing goes.
:laugh:

Yes, that Pistachio RY4 that SIrius mentions is around 75% VG.
As much as I want to try it, there's no way I'm going with that much VG.
:(

Have you tried Mr. ELiquid yet?
I think their RY4 is very good.

I've tried a few of their other flavors and didn't think they sucked.
Although G.T.F.O. really wasn't my cup of tea.
:)

Yeah CN is at least 80vg hon. I agree Troop should post the results but remember. They are adding another lab and tweeking as well. All isn't lost on TPR for those wanting web site posted results hon.

Well, I will keep waiting bcoz you kno me, I LOVE TPR. Waiting on that retest of Candied Cavendish, at least I thought that was on the retest list. I am ordering more Burley & Candy I think. I didn't like that it had J on one of the chemicals but I really miss it :(

Oh they get correct lab results but it's up to us to read them. And remember Angi, for AP the acceptable limit is above Troops 100 ppm per ml. Somewhere that's posted exactly what doctor F said but I can't get to it now.

J: Result is below the lower curve limit & above the MDL and is considered estimated value.

I wish I paid closer attention in my science classes :facepalm:. Thanks for the info!
Daw..it's complicated isn't it sweetheart?
Well you're smart enough to know you don't want any of that mess in your juice. That's all you need to know right?

AngiBe, you are missed in the Gourmet Thread.

I do not think anyone has listened to my recommendations but Mountain Oak Vapors - Blue Ridge is Fabulous, and so is Smoky Mountain 555, and Outlaw.

They are in the Classic series Tobacco, and then Synthetic Tobacco as a 50 PG/50 VG Blend.

Yes! Over Labor Day sale I went ahead an order Black Calico. Sweeter than I expected but I'm liking it now. It grew on me. And I went ahead and added a few drops of torque on second tank to give it more of a kick. I've become a master at mixing Halo since it's all I use. LOL try 3/4 Freedom, 1/4 Midnight Apple...awesome! And of course, Voodoo and Tribeca mix has always been my fav.

And haven't tried Mr ELiquid yet. So they have a VooDoo as well. May need to try that LOLOL

I emailed GoodLife re:the mistake made on their testing results and here was the reply:

"Here is a copy of the test results. We do not have the capability to test for DA/AP in our lab. The company that tested our liquid is included in the attachment. You may call them for further information."

So I have a copy of the lab results but since I have zero clue on all this, I don't even know what to ask the lab. LOLOLOL
