I dont want to come in here and sound like the guy who has to say the opposite opinion just for the sake of it, but...


NOTHING has been proven yet. At all.

The ingredients generally used in eliquid, are rated as "GRAS". That means GENERALLY regarded as safe. Not guaranteed, not a sure thing.. GENERALLY.

Furthermore, the warnings that were posted about the MSDS sheet on Titanium Dioxide, about how it needs to be handled...

They're the SAME FOR NICOTINE. Liquid nicotine, in a potent enough form, will kill you dead.


So, take Nicotine. Something that will KILL YOU, by inhalation, ingestion, skin contact.. in the right dilution.

Now dilute it to eliquid saturation levels, or cigattte levels. And what do you have? A Stimulant that every single person reading this, enjoy using daily.




NO ONE HAS ANY CLUE, AT ALL, ABOUT HOW MUCH TITANIUM DIOXIDE IS BEING USING IN THE JUICE, AND WHETHER OR NOT IT IS HARMFUL AT ALL.

You all are just finger pointing and overracting, without having all the facts.


-----


You want to use this to push your views on not having any coloring or additives in juice? Why? Because YOU(im speaking to anyone here, not someone in particular) dont like having a color added to your liquid? So because YOU don't like it, the whole industry should boycott it?

Well maybe Ill push MY opinion on everyone, and say that juice SHOULD have a color added to it.


-------------------





Bottom line.

There is NO PROOF that Titanium Dioxide is harmful in the way its being used. The ONLY THING that has been proven, that in proper concentrations, its as dangerous as Nicotine.



Yes, Im also vaping this liquid right now. Its DELICIOUS. And Ill will continue to vape it, until it is PROVEN BY FACT, that it is indeed deathfully harmful.

Oh. Em. Gee. This one did it for sure. Annnnd I'm out! LMMFAO!!!

Poison. Really.


This bandwagon of outrage and fingerpointing without a single shred of evidence other than one persons word over anothers, is approaching LAUGHABLE.




seriously. poison.





This reminds me SO MUCH of the early days of the Propelyene Glycol outrage....

Lmao.

No.

If there is no truth to the claim, the manufacturer should have, and would have, come out publicly to say so.

Exactly! There is NO way the manufacturer or the supplier hasn't heard about this. If it wasn't true, they would have made a statement to the contrary as soon as possible to avoid false accusations and any damage to their good name. That everything is so hush hush, makes it seem very suspect!

A little overblown?

Thats the understatement of the year.

some people just love being outraged and love fingerpointing.

IMO, the biggest issue is the lack of disclosure from the creator. If vendors are at all concerned about potential regulations, all ingredients should be on the labels and on the sites where the product is sold. That, in itself, would end speculation and the sounding of the sirens. Labeling PG, VG, Nicotine and Artificial/Natural Flavoring isn't enough if there's actually more in the juice, specifically, an additive, whether it's TD, a sweetener (the type needs to be listed), ethyl malitol etc. If a juice business isn't capable of providing ingredients, down to a tee (baring the exact flavor and company they use), perhaps they don't need to be selling it?

We don't need regulation - they, as vendors, should be able to self-regulate and do their own research and relay that to the consumer. It'd prevent a lot of this from happening.



And before anyone asks, no, I hardly buy from vendors now days as I DIY 99.9% of my juice, but the very few I do buy are from vendors that *will* tell me exactly what's in there, not hide it or slip it in.


You mention that there may only be trace amounts of TD in there, which, in your opinion, would be negligible, so I have a question for you: Are you okay with trace amounts of Diacetyl? Acetoin? Acetyl Proprionyl? Or any other potentially dangerous chemical being present? Would you not rather see a vendor label a juice if it's in there and give their customers a choice? I'm being serious - this isn't meant to come off as me being a smart you know what - it's a valid question.

Are you kidding me?


What do you think is the nicotine in your eliquid? Magic?

what do you think DIYers use to make thier own juice? More magic?

OMGGG! My POINT was--do we need protective gear to VAPE? No we don't. Jesus-like I don't know there's nicotine in ejuice. Laughable.

so everything about celebrities is true in the tabloids, because those people didn't come out publicly to say so.


Next?

That's comparing apples and oranges! Saying something false about a celebrity only involves the celebrity. This involves EVERYONE who has used this product! So YES, being the manufacturers product could potentially be harming thousands of people, YES, they need to come out publicly and set the record straight!! Not to hard to see the reasoning there is it??

Omg. The cluelessness continues. Do cigarette smokers buy liquid nicotine? Do vapers buy it? No. We buy juice that is supposed to have no poison in it.

Oh my Jesus...

OMGGG! My POINT was--do we need protective gear to VAPE? No we don't. Jesus-like I don't know there's nicotine in ejuice. Laughable.

Actually...when handling liquid nicotine like the e-juice makers and DIYers...they do wear protective gear.

Actually...vapers do buy liquid nicotine...the DIYers...

Someone just shoot me and put me out of my misery. Please shoot me? What is not penetrating in these people's skulls?? Okay this time I think I'm truly out of here for now. Some people just have the inability to discuss the matter at hand. For instance, point to a blue stone and say "that stone is blue." and watch how some people go on to talk about grass, gravity, baseball....when it has no relevance to talking about the color of a stone right in front of them.
Nighty night!!

Please do get some sleep and I hope you get more sense when you wake up. The fallacies in your posts have been pointed out and have been corrected with good and factual reasoning.

I'm sorry you suffer from misery. I can't and will not hope for someone to shoot you out of your misery. Violence does not solve anything...

PS. Going by my own personal experience on what happens when you criticize this forum or the decisions of the mods in a thread, there are a lot of infractions being handed out from this single thread. Welcome to the club!


Oh no, an ECF Infaction. What ever will I do, how will I survive? Not being sarcastic with you, but being more sarcastic that theyd give anyone any sort of infraction over such an important topic. Like it *means* anything.

Well. All of you have fun with this thread. I'd rather do just about anything than read anymore of the banter back and forth.


its kind of amusing lol never tried the juice before so I don't really have much to say about it. Although I always wanted to taste it so see what all the hype was about.....

I suppose it could've just been perfect timing, right?

Said juice gets popular, people start wondering what substance makes it that signature color. Juicevendor asks manufacturer about this specifically and is reportedly told "why yes it does contain that but don't worry, it's safe for ingestion" (but not inhalation). The very next day said ejuice manufacturer suddenly changes his formula to not include the asked about substance and basically every retailer pulls the original product off their shelves. Including canceling existing mail orders. I'm sure it's just coincidence.

It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out what's going on.
 
Idk, sounds a little similar to the recent Cinnamon scare, where vendors immediately stopped selling anything with cinnamon in it because of heresay, and then THAT was proven false..

Not every vendor stopped selling cinnamon liquids for one. Secondly, that study was published by a group known to be staunchly anti-ecig and to have had methodology issues with their previous "findings." However in this case all the product was pulled from the shelves, the formula changed and mail orders canceled.

Please remember to "attack the post, not the poster." BE NICE!

Information about this is all over the internet now. Hopefully, everyone who could be affected will have the information they need to make the proper and correct decision for themselves on how to handle this situation. I personally, would be very, very irritated to find this information if I'd ordered that particular ejuice. One tends to believe juice makers research ingredients before adding them to their products, or at least we hope they do.

As suggested earlier, this is all supposition at this time. There's no need to get mad at anyone in here as we're all concerned with what's best for our health and vaping in general.
 
So there MUST be a hidden agenda to them changing the formula, and the fact that it gunks up coils has nothing to do with it at all?

Because Im vaping it right now on my Origen, and this would defintely ruin a carto or clearo in no time.

Show us two examples where a vendor has changed their juice formula because of excessive coil buildup. Ever try a juice from Vapetrik? That stuff is hell on coils and carto's.

Holy cats! This thread is just flying along!

Hey small world! I knew I liked you for some reason! Link the thread for sure if you start it. What general part of Maine? South of Bangor on the coast here.

I am thinking there could be two ways, one would be infraction based, if you are posting bullcrap gossip in bad faith you get one warning then a ban, if you put out completely unsubstantiated claims, like a sabotage situation, insta-ban. If someone posts something in good faith and it turns out to be untrue then maybe they don't get banned, but it would have to be a case by case basis and it would seem that isn't a strong point with any forum. So that's a lot of work.

Second would be someone submits to a mod or the thread runner in a PM, then the mod or thread runner would post it if there is reason.

Ticky-tack stuff would not be allowed, this isn't about finish and blemishes, it's about safety and possibly bad business practices. Anything safety related would get priority. Examples would be the box-mod shorting on screws situation, the credit-card fraud situation, and the TiO2 situation.

A protocol could be developed, contact the vendor and/or manufacturer and ask them to help the situation. If this was in place for months this issue could have gone down so much better. Not to get too grandiose but I think Cutt, ECF, and the whole vaping community's image (to outsiders) could have come out looking much better here, and the whistleblower would have been treated better which he deserved. With method two the whole infraction thing would have been avoided too.

A third option could be a short of informal beta test with a hybrid of the systems, informal trouble-shooting and watchdogging as well as PMing if the whistleblower desired, feel out the potential system whatever it ends up being.

These are all awesome ideas, and I'll definitely give the whole thing some thought.

I really thinks it's a very worthwhile idea.

:)

(And I'm from the western part of the state, BTW, in the foothills of the Bigelow Range. Pretty, but currently a bit overly snowy. Very glad to meet you, GemCutter.)

    No one has even proven that Titanium Dioxide is:

    A- in the juice

    B-assuming its in the juice, that in its state, is harmful.


    The only thing I can find out about Titanium Dioxide being harmful, has to do with the nanoparticles of the substance. Titanium Dioxide is approved for use in food coloring, pharmecuetical drugs, cosmetics, etc etc.


    IN ITS nanoparticle form, there is the POSSIBILITY, OF ITS BEING A POSSIBLE CARCINOGEN. There is no definitive proof.


    --

    There is no prood Titanium Dioxide is in the juice. Thats number 1.

    But assuming it is..

    Is it in the juice in nano particle form? Probably not. Why? Well, again, based on nothing but conjecture, as this whole thread has been so far, the idea is the the juice contains iciing whitener. Iciing whitener, a food colorant, is fully able to use titanium oxide, because titanium dioxide has been approved for that use. The nanoparticle form of TD, is not what you would use to make a food colorant.

    People hear vapor and they're going to automatically assume that vapor and nano particles go together. There is no dust in vapor.



    BUT.. ASSSSSSUMING ALLLLL OF THAT. iT STILL HAS TO BE PROVEN SAFE FOR INHALTION.



    But wait.

    Propolyene Glycol
    and
    Vegetable Glycerin

    have not been PROVEN SAFE for inhalation. They are labled as GRAS. Which means, GENERALLY REGARDED AS SAFE, furthermore, that is not specifically speaking to inhalation, just its use for consumption.

    -----------



    Titanium Dioxide sounds like a scary word. And without ANY PROOF on either side of the table, the mere mention of the Nano Particle phase of TD, POSSIBLY BEING A POSSIBLE CARCINOGEN(in rats), is apparently enough to convice enough of you to throw your best fightin' hats on, and threaten, demand, blame and persecute everyone you can find who doesn't agree with your unproven mission statement.
