Wintergreen LA: safe to vape?

[yo han]

I've made a 10% single flavor liquid using LorAnn's Wintergreen, VG and 10% water yesterday and today I noticed the mix looks like a lava lamp. I've purchased it from Wizard Labs and the bottle says: Contents: Methyl Salicylate.
So, I did some searching here and came across this topic: Thoughts on Wintergreen Essential Oil
Pretty scary stuff since it says in that topic: Wintergreen Oil contains methyl salicylate at near 98-99%, which can be toxic.
Going by the fact that Wizard Labs has all the ingredients printed on the label I may conclude I'm holding a bottle containing nothing but this stuff?

Not an expert on LorAnn's flavors, but there's a sticky thread in this forum about LorAnn flavors/safety. I recommend you poke around in that thread but here's the copy of Wintergreen:

Wintergreen Oil, Artificial
Contains: Methyl Sal.
Slightly soluble in water.


Wintergreen Oil, Natural
Contains: Natural Wintergreen Oil.
Insoluble in water.

Red is bad according the the OP in that thread.. I've always heard to stay away from vaping oil based flavors.

Yeah I just came across that topic myself.
I've sent a customer support message to Wizard Labs since they're saying:
Super concentrated water-soluble flavorings perfect for use with our solutions and base fluids.
This implies that all flavors they're selling are suitable for vaping.
Anyway, it's not the oil based part that's worrying me most, it's the fact that Methyl Salicylate is considered toxic!

Yeah, I'm w/ you, that's two reasons not to vape it...lol...

Lorannes is not for vaping.

Then Wizard Labs is making a big mistake by selling them as such.
We all know some of LorAnn's flavors are suitable for vaping but they (WL) should not sell flavors as vape flavors when in fact they're not suitable at all.

The water soluble LorAnn's is fine. If it isn't water soluble don't vape it.

I also ordered Hot Chili (LorAnn) from Wizard Labs. Same deal; oil based.
I'm curious how they will respond to my support question. It clearly says all their flavors are water soluble and perfect for use with their base liquids.
In the meantime I've wasted 60ml of 16mg liquid on these flavors.

I've received a very extensive reply from WL and both flavors have been temporarily pulled from the shop until they've investigated the matter.
Good move WL!
