Hello, so I check all my flavors on e-liquid-recipes to ensure there is no little triangle flagging it (ingredient warning) as containing Acetoin, Diacetyl etc. etc.
I have been using the TPA/TFA Jamaican rum for a while now. And on E-liquid-recipes there is no little triangle and it does not mention acetoin. However, on some seller’s page, TPA Jamaican rum def shows as containing acetoin.
Now I am wondering if someone just missed this specific one or if there are other flavor listings on e-liquid-recipes are also missing the ingredient warning flag…

Some flavors may have been missed. It is best if you check flavors yourself if you are concerned with the good stuff.

Hi. Another new member here doing my due diligence to get into DIY safely.
I ordered flavours avoiding all the warning triangles, but I’ve recently realised a few of my flavours have Ethyl Maltol in them. How come this ingredient doesn’t get a warning flag? Isn’t it proven to be carcinogenic when heated?

ive never heard that ethyl maltol is something to be concerned with
it would be difficult to avoid, its one of the most common ingredients

Keep in mind we use very little heat when vaping and we use these flavors in miniscule amounts.

I literally just saw Ethyl Maltol on an MSDS and googled it. Tere seems to be very solid evidence it’s bad to heat it and inhale it. Not the wishy-washy anti vaping stuff you normally see, because it’s in cigarettes so it’s been studied a lot.
I’m not trying to fearmonger, I’m just a confused newbie trying to make informed decisions 
Edit: that’s a handy link btw, thanks.

if your that concerned you could just not inhale
the mouth and tongue do a good job at absorbing nicotine
this is similar to cigar smoking though you may have to bump up your nic level a bit
this is what i do because some flavors were giving me side effects and i hear asthmatic vapers also do this

I’m a big deep lung hit kind of guy. That ain’t happening lol.
I guess i need to do some more reading on EM. I accept that none of this is “safe” but I’m looking to avoid anything that is known to be unsafe.
