Opinions on E Liquids

[lordylordy]

be interested to hear what they (swap smoking) have to say as i bought a load of their juice to try and dont really want to pour so much money down the sink

I don't think people can technically complain about flavours. Afterall, a lot is to do with your own tastes.

My one and only supplier is James (Paradise Vapes) & I love his juice, however, there are many flavours he creates which I just don't like, so after trying quite a few, I have settled on Grape & Cigar. A main positive with James, he will try & rectify problems, that other vendors would just refuse.

I have tried other vendors juice & it has tended to taste quite chemically. Not sure whether that's what they mix the juice with, but it hasn't agreed with me. So now I refuse to waste money on cheaper or other alternatives & stick with what I know, regardless of whether I could get similar cheaper elsewhere.

However, as with everything, there's always a chance you could buy a dodgy batch.

Yes, that's a piece put together by Flavour Arts ergo Mandy Rice Davies applies. Fact is, people have died from what's been called "popcorn lung" brought about by the effects of diacetyl. Most reputable juice and flavouring makers have ceased its use, and the general consensus is that it's wise to not use anything containing it...

Hi dave how do we get to now whats in our e-juice

[Clutter]

Tony, you don't until suppliers like Jason at Vape Escape list the contents on their labels or you ask your suppliers if they are able to tell you (they won't necessarily know, however).

[hifistud]

That's the thing... I'm hoping that vendors will manage to sort a deal with one of the testing houses to get everything batch imported and tested via GCMS so it's all accountable. Time will tell.

I buy from Hangsen, who are one of the larger suppliers of e-liquid, which is why the ingredients are listed on my bottles.

They also send me regular test certificates, which is a big step in the right direction.

Thanks, Jo, for the info re diacetyl on the LF site

Being rather old, I don't worry as much about ingredients as younger vapers should

still a scare story i could no doubt show instances of death with cornflakes and curly whurly bars in what way is vaping a dilute solution containing this substance to working full time with the product and breathing in vast quantities .
