Vaping Vanillin

[myxomatosis]

Just got my batch of TFA Vanillin. I picked it up already dissolved in 10% PG so...

Is it "safe"? Yeah nothing is 100% safe, we're all guinea pigs, blah, blah blah. I get it. I didn't really think too much of it until I combed ECF for Vanillin topics and came across: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/health-safety-e-smoking/55980-vanilla-vanillin-safe-not.html

This information is slightly dated. There's not a lot of people contributing to that thread with solid definitive evidence or links to sources, but there are a couple people indicating some of their ailments might be related to their use of vanillin, and the potential hazardous effects when it is heated.

If you use/used it before, care to weigh in on your experience and the % you use in a blend? It smells absolutely delicious and I want to bathe in it.

The thread is an interesting read and does get you thinking. I have a few mixes that contain vanilla at about 1 - 2% at most and although it's not my main vape I have not experienced any adverse effects. Do I think it's safe I can not say but I think some serious research and discussion is in order.

Make your own Vanilla Extract, I never liked Vanillin.
