A couple of reasons imo... First, the jury is still out on whether the levels of diketones we are vaping are even dangerous (cigarettes contain 100X higher concentrations of diacetyl apparently, and no one has ever reported getting popcorn lung directly as a result form the diacetyl on cigarettes). Second, so many flavors contain diketones it would limit the market to just a few flavors. The next best thing is butyric acid... The characteristic flavor of human vomit.

I do agree 100% that all juice vendors should release testing results as to whether their juices contain diketones or not. Just for those who don't want to take the chance. I, on the other hand, am completely happy vaping my Capella's VC V1. :)

    I think I would disagree with that!
    Smoking is the leading cause of Emphysema (Bronchiolitis obliterans), and after over 50 years of smoking will no doubt be the cause of my demise.

    I should have said, no one has ever reported getting popcorn lung directly from the diacetyl in cigarettes. It is likely a combination of a few of the 7000 other chemicals... Possibly the diacetyl, possibly not. Edited the above post to reflect.

    I seem to think Diketones are tasty and like them. Some of them anyway. I DIY but some of the Diketone containing flavors are scrumptious.

    You want to make juice makers remove them? Don't buy any juice with them in it.
    Simple.
    or do you want to be like those who leglislate vaping rules?
    I do think they should tell which juices has them and other ingredients like artificial sweeteners in them so you can buy them or not based on your preferences.

    The only juices I like contain diketones. I guess I'm just doomed if they find out that the levels of these in our juice is dangerous. Oh well.

    I try to vape dikatone free yet dont always because they do taste great. We all have been scammed by the "organic" marketing which most of you probably dont even know what I mean. Look up the definition of organic, only non synthetic pesticides...ie arsnic, ie rotenone and those pesky inorganic pesticides we all used to consume with just a few parts per million (just like the dikatones in custard ejuice) didnt harm grandpa. Just trying to help :-x

    I have some pineapple and n-butyric acid flavoured boilies that i use for fishing and they smell disgusting. The fish seem to like the taste of them but i don't think i would like to vape it lol.

    I think more research needs to be done into how dangerous the level of diketones found in e liquid is, if at all before banning them outright.

    I'm not for "banning" anything. We here are pretty informed to make decisions but millions out there aren't. Dr f was in a podcast last night and pretty adamant it is very hamful and in some cases more harmful then cigarettes. If we don't self regulate someone worse will. Let's just unite and only buy from sites that post their results. If there is AP in them and you still want to Vape them more power to you!

    Dr F has only studied Levels and is concerned due to the widely accepted Possibility that Diketones (MAY) Cause, lead to, contribute to Lung disorders.

    However No Medical studies have been released Confirming Harm from inhalation at specific levels or over any given time. i.e. This is a Lawyers Disease, not a proven medical condition. Even the CDC has skirted any claim that Diketones are in fact the cause of any given lung disease, even after imposing strict INDUSTRIAL guidelines.

    High exposure to Carbon monoxide may kill you. We still drive on crowded highways daily with little regard.

    Self Regulate is the Proper course of action. If you don't like it don't do it, But let me decide for myself.
