Awe thank you soooo much!! This made me feel better! Let's hope they get better. I'm honestly not the kind of person to complain but man it's been rough. I'm over being prego and dealing with Walmart hahaha

You are Sunshine on an otherwise Cloudy day. :)

What is difficult to understand about Permanent. Debilitating. Irreversible. Unnecessary. Let's just keep on keeping on, and instead of ELIMINATING the cause of concern, debate the media on it instead while we battle uphill.
Whether it's actually cause for concern is disputable, when the popcorn lung thing happened to those workers were exposed to very high concentrations of pure flavoring, it wasn't aerosolized and it potentially effect the lungs differently in our application.

Anyways I AM DEFINITELY NOT DEFENDING DIACETYL, I diy so I can ensure I don't come in contact with it, there is most definitely high potential for it to cause negative health effects and the industry should push to remove it which is actually happening..

I'm not arguing your points but thought a little perspective might be in order ...

Some additional reading if one is so inclined ...

How The Media Totally Exaggerated Study On Risk Of ‘Popcorn Lung’ From E-Cigarettes

The Rest of the Story: Tobacco News Analysis and Commentary: New Study Finds that Average Diacetyl Exposure from Vaping is 750 Times Lower than from Smoking

I don't think it's a bad idea to avoid diacetyl but I also don't think the risk is nearly as great as what they are trying to imply. :)


Your graph, provided by a maker of E-Liquid, only shows Diacetyl. Diacetyl has largely been replaced by Acetyl Propyinol. If the graph represented AP instead of DA, that blue bar would be 10 times higher. Still far less, but again, we could have just cut BACK on smoking, right?

Additionally, the "750 times" article is another case of lies, damn lies, and statistics.It is based on "one cartridge per day" Cigalikes? REALLY? we are going to compare cigarettes to gas station cigalikes for comparing consumption? I must be lost, I thought I was on ECF. CLOUDS, Bro.

Even Farsalinos study, showing AP being 1/10 in eliquid vs cigarettes, was based on vaping 3ml a day. Everyone vaping 3ml or less a day, please raise your hands. And that number is going to get MUCH worse, as the trend in tanks and RDA's continues.

What is difficult to understand about Permanent. Debilitating. Irreversible. Unnecessary. Let's just keep on keeping on, and instead of ELIMINATING the cause of concern, debate the media on it instead while we battle uphill.


I hear ya. Don't even get me started on the Dihydrogen Monoxide in the E-Liquid :D

You're completely missing my point. You're saying that the target the media, government, and tobacco is shooting at, isnot as big as they say it is. great. It doesn't MATTER that you are right. A target is a target. BIG money, vested interests, agendas. They will just pull out a bigger gun. A target is a target, and stupid silly when it doesn't even need to be there at all.

Am I 100% wrong or should we not be continuing to pressure - Flavor Manufacturers to do away with these ingredients <with acceptable substitutes - if possible>?

Would Unscrupulous Vendors be selling Unknowns if there was no supply?
Would Vapers have a worry?

I am 100% for Disclosure..........if we cannot instead, Eliminate the source.:glare:
.......and remember, I DIY - I have choice.........but still have a need to know and trust my suppliers.

TFA is a perfect example of Vendor cooperation, making an excellent attempt to offer alternatives for Vapers, Listing possible risk flavoring and maintaining GRAS flavors for Food preparation. A business with a responsible business plan and respect for customer base.

Not much sense in trying to discuss something with someone who seemingly can't help but be condescending and who has obviously already made their mind up based on nothing but pseudoscience ...

CLOUDS Bro to you too!

If you took that to be condescending to you, you have my sincerest apologies. It was not intended as such. I admit to having a great deal of difficulty understanding the perspective that just being "less harmful" is sufficient, or acceptable.. I should just stay away from this topic completely.

UUgggghh... Reading that made me sick to my stomach... :(


here is what I think..

All of this makes me SICK!!!

I know that a LOT of people are fighting for us, behind the scenes,
so please don't for one minute think that I am being critical to anyone
and how they are fighting this.
That said, I do see a lot of people fighting this good fight,
however, we NEED to do MORE. A lot of what is being done to fight this
is calling Reps, Signing Petitions, and writing to our politicians.

This is 2015, we need to FIGHT this like it is 2015.

WE need to Twitter Bomb the EU and American Politicians. NOT just once, but, over and OVER and OVER again... WE need to take to Social media like this is our last day on earth. WE need to do this in such a manner, as to make a HUGE splash, and one person can not do this. This needs
100's of people from around the globe, EVERY single HOUR, we need to Tweet and Facebook, etc.. etc.. KEY Figures in this fight.
My suggestion is Tweeting President Obama, EVERY hour.. If we got 100 people to Tweet him, EVERY hour for as long as possible.. then, he would see that there are a LOT of people who stand to lose a lot in this fight, same with The EU Parliament... also, the media outlets.... We need to Tweet and Facebook the heck out of them, so that they can NO LONGER ignore us.
WE need to organize this in such a way, that they get SICK of seeing our names on their Twitter page.

Then, I think we need to find some people who can travel to Brussels and we need to stand IN FRONT of EU Parliament and protest these new laws that are coming into effect in May 2016..
I don't mean ONE day either... I mean for DAYS... UNTIL they can NO longer ignore us.
We need to let them know, that these laws they are enacting around us, are HARMFUL.
well said sweetie

please don't stay away from the topic! We, as adults, need to discuss all points of view and try to reasonably understand them

OK... Now I get what you're saying.. :)

You are just saying that havig that IN he liquid just makes it a BIGGER target. and
that if there was NONE in the liquids, it would be ONE less FIGHT to have
in the MAJOR uphill battle... as of now, they can say ridiculous things like
"LINKED to Popcorn Lung"
if it didn't have this in it, they would NOT be able to say that... REGARDLESS if it is true
or NOT.

It is already hard enough.... having it in the liquid, just makes it THAT MUCH harder. :)
