Soda Stream Flavours

[MarkS]

Can you use them? Anyone know if there is anything bad to vape in them?

[Perpetua]

Haven't used them Mark . . . with the vast range of flavouring available it's not something I've looked at. 

Although I've just had a quick peek having said that and my thoughts would be that they could be quite weak  . . . and if they're sweetened with anything but Stevia then any additional sugar ( if it's used ) will gunk up your coils super fast. That's what the Neilsen Massey essences did, as nice as they were.

Don't fancy it myself.

Ewwww I didn't like the drinks so doubt I would want to vape it, but would be interesting to know how it turns out.

Nine Facts about Sodium Benzoate, a Preservative
5 Replies
1. Sodium Benzoate (E211) is a preservative used to prevent food from molding.

2. It is especially used to preserve acidic foods and beverages such as pickles, salad dressings, fruit juices, and soft drinks.

3. An unfortunate side effect is that when mixed with ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) sodium benzoate transforms into benzene, a known carcinogen and DNA damager.

4. The rate at which benzene is formed is affected by light and heat, as well as the time spent on a shelf from production to consumption.

5. The FDA has limited usage of sodium benzoate to 0.1% of a product by weight. The limit for safe drinking water as set by the US government is less than 5 parts per billion (far less tolerance).

6. Some studies have shown that sodium benzoate along with artificial food colorings can cause children with ADHD to be more hyperactive.

7. Coca Cola announced in 2008 that it would remove sodium benzoate from its products by the end of the the year.

8. A close relative of sodium benzoate is pottasium benzoate (E212), also known as benzoic acid.

9. Sodium benzoate is found naturally in tiny amounts in fruits such as cranberries, prunes, and apples

Blegh, the soda stream flavours I got were all disGUSting, so much so that mine now gets used to make fizzy tap water to mix with real fruit juice or squash! Maybe I should try adding some LorAnn

Yeah just thought I'd ask as I noticed a Mojito flavour and wondered if anyone had ever tried them. Seems not.

So is Sodium Benzoate used in any other artificial flavourings?

I thought the Soda Stream labeling was quite clear detailing what was in it, unlike 99% of the flavourings we vape that just say "artificial flavour" without saying what chemicals were used to make them.

I have some mojito flavouring from Alba Vapours, currently steeping with some pineapple - might actually be ready today or tomorrow
