What flavourings are NOT ok to use?

[macchiato]

What do you have to avoid when buying flavourings? Is it oil? ??? Excuse my random questions, I've not mixed before

AFAIK, yep, oil-based flavourings are no good for vaping

I've seen some flavourings I want to try, in the ingredients list it just says "Artificial Flavour, Propylene Glycol." Do you think that's ok to use?

Where did you see them?

I'm just getting into mixing now, so I'm going with tried and tested concentrates that people are using on this board

E-cig flavours comprise of PG & Artificial Flavouring or natural flavouring in some cases and sometimes with water.

The ones to avoid are those that mention diacetyl or oil in their list of ingredients..

Defo anything oil based, although I think it tends to apply more to the supermarket flavours more then the ones we would use.
These 2 stickies in the flavour review section are really useful for what not to use.
Re the cup cake world list of ingredients look at what solvent is used, Lemon for instance says that vegetable oil is used as a solvent, but I think some people have used it with success ??? . . . from personal experience I know that you definitely can't use the Tutti Frutti flavour even though there is no oil listed in it's breakdown, it just separates shortly after mixing & the flavour sits on top of the liquid which is a real shame cos it smells gorgeous
