I think somebody already referred to this as "another diaceytl topic". ;)

I was attempting to avoid furthering DAP discussion in a NOT DAP thread.....
I agree their MAY be higher risk in using Flavors containing any Diketones, however I Still believe it is Personal Choice and YES companies should readily disclose any use.
FLAVOR Manufacturer level responsibility. Nip it in the Bud and eliminate any questioning.

Now, I comment was, was again and still is - Why do People Parrot bogus information?

No where that I have searched says AP might possibly be More dangerous than Diacetyl.
First - no study shows such.
Second - No real scientist would say May Possibly be. Their goal is to prove is or is not. Now, CDC Press agents, different matter.
Third - even if a less reliable professional did say it, it is an assumption and NOT to be taken as a FACT.
:facepalm:

Now, my reply was not to start a DAP discussion, but to nip crap in the bud.

Back to your regularly scheduled thread. :D

Not interested in turning this into a DAP topic either, but since you brought this part up:

"First of all, acetyl propionyl is not any better than diacetyl (although there are fewer studies verifying this). In my opinion, acetyl propionyl should NOT be used."
Donate to Dr Farsalinos' new study


I imagine he will do a study on that eventually. Although haven't heard much from Dr. F. lately.

Not is disagreement.
Again not very acceptable to go around spouting May, might, if, could, possibly, presumably ..........:facepalm:

If should of could of it would of.............o_O

You seem to get peeved at people making assumptions yet here you are, Assuming this has anything to do with whether anyone should use or not use any particular Diketone.
It has to do with Assumption used as assertion through presumption.

The debate, you have invited yourself into, was over this text.
Yes the flavorings from company C are diacytel free but, not diketone free. In fact they contain acytel propynal(spelling?) Which has been found to possibly be even worse than diacytel.

The line in Red to be exact..
How does one - find to be possibly even worse?
Dr. Farsalinos is as Close as we get and he does not say - HAS been FOUND to POSSIBLY
Scientist do not find Possibles - News reporters Assume and Presume we will accept their word as gospel.

Kindly remove your spurs from my back sides.:eek:

I suppose that it is fashionable for vapers to bash Rip Trippers. Everyone seems to have jumped on the bandwagon declaring Rip's abominable behavior, his shilling on youtube, his horrible endorsement practices just to make money.

I may be alone, but I love Rip. I sill like his videos and always have. If he can make a few bucks producing a youtube channel, well bully for him. I find him knoledgeable, highly entertaining, and remarkably enthusiastic.

So, screw you guys who bash him. Sounds like a lot of jealocy to me.

People being people. So what, it's true. Vaping dehydrates the dog snot out of me, what he says is truth. Just search ECF, you'll find quite a few threads talking about cramps and headaches , which hold many comments about drinking more fluids.

People for one are always jumping on the bandwagon, as soon as something {place anything here} gets grip in a community, everyone has an opinion and likely shares it with the crowd. Whatever reason we are wired this way, that in itself in annoying.

So what, dude wants to make a buck, he's got his right to do so.

He sold no one out, he's simply doing what people do. Am I standing up for him, in a sense sure am. People love to hate, it's just that simple. Stop whimpering and do your own thing. Get a grip.

peoples faults and the world in general and all it's shortcommings and blessings.......

I tend to watch Rip's videos to get an idea what a piece of equipment looks like and how to make a coil for it and how to change the wattage on it if it's a mod.

I like to get the general picture about the stuff and don't really pay too much attention to his opinions or views....his personality..his editing style...his beard...mean nothing to me... I listen to the information he gives and then make my own mind up...

about what is important for me or just ...general blanket stuff....aka----mod feels alittle heavy...........and general fluff..........

Thats what I do when watching youtube reviews as well. I watch them to get a good sense of what an actual product looks, size, finish, how it compares to other similar products that I'm considering. Then if I'm into the product I compare different reviews, do my own research, then decide if purchasing it makes sense for my needs/wants.

Theres a reason why people post videos on youtube and generally its for some form of profit whether it be $$$, fame, etc.

Since he has relatively more views than other reviewers, he actually gets to handle alot of different products, therefore I still find his videos somewhat useful, not because of his actual review, since he's always buy buy buy, but more for a visual representation of the product itself.

Rips build videos and reviews are far and away the best on the Web in the following categories:
1. Simple
2. Well explained.
3. Use of tools
4. IN FOCUS MACRO SHOTS
5. Excellent audio
6. Provides options

I pay attention when he "dives down." If Rip is a 10, Todd is a 4 and PB is a 5 at best. Twisted Messes does good coil build vids as well. There are others as we know.

People hop on the bash wagon with a herd mentality. To each his own.

Don't bash Rip until you know more than he does or can build like he builds.

Well I don't think many bash him for promoting a product. Where most got upset IMO is the fact he used Vaping as an excuse to all the various side effects then poof out came a cure. The man is entitled to make a $ off his followers heck why not. If people decide that they want to buy what fixed his problems that is on them. It's just money in his pocket.

I do have to add though he has had dry knuckles for a long time as I was looking at some of his older reviews :) . People just need to tajke it for what they think it's worth. I use the reviews ton figure out how my stuff works or should work.

I am pretty new to the vape community so I didn't even know who Rip was until I started reading this thread. I don't really have any opinion on this video "controversy" (the guy seems like kind of a DB, but that's beside the point), but I myself have experienced feeling dehydrated since I started vaping. I assumed it was losing water because of the deep breathing/exhaling that comes with vaping? Since you lose water when exhaling, it makes sense to me that when I'm vaping pretty much all day I'm exhaling much deeper breaths more forcefully and more often,which would cause more loss of water. Could that be the reasoning behind it, rather than PG content or whatever? So not so much a fault in vaping itself, just a side effect of the process of vaping, if that makes sense.

When it comes to Reviewers on YouTube, I take George Carlin's "Two Knobs" approach to what I Watch. And what I Don't Watch.



Amen to this video............if you don't like what's being said then it is usually 1 click and you can listen to somebody else's spiel..............lol........

........and I usually do that withing the first 45 seconds :D

I have actually watched, and learned a lot from Rips Build Videos. Mostly Earlier ones, before all the Clip edits.(Seriously Dude - Script first)

However, if trying to get a look at a new piece, it's Volume down and fast forwards.

Regardless - the Video of discussion, To Me, came off as 3:00a.m. :sneaky:
