As you may have become aware of there has been some 1,100,000 (1.1 Million) ejuice and flavour concentrate 323 manufacturers since September 2021. Have now gone most of them flavored bottled flavour concentrate and manufacturers in the United States alone.
Why? most of the flavour concentrates added and/or ingredients of these products including the vegetable glycerine, propylene glycol. Where sourced from various locations and sources, many not meeting food grade requirements and manufacturing. This includes importing bulk and rebottling not in a clean room, lab or ISO approved facility.
Worse though is that most of the flavour concentrates used are, YES food grade. Of major concern food grade means it is fit for ingestion (eating) though the majority of these food grade flavour concentrates are NOT SUITABLE to be atomised or flavour concentrated.
Take one of the most popular used flavour concentrates – Marshmallow from a very well know supplier. Most international suppliers it will contains about 3-5% Vanillin. Vanillin is a cheap alternative to vanilla extract and you will even find this ingredient in your pancake mix. Which being a ingestible food is fine, though to atomise this compound it is a different matter.
Flavrz flavour concentrates and especially our ONE SHOT range has been developed over the past years to be suitable to be atomised or flavour concentrated. Though we do not encourage any form of smoking, we do know that flavour concentrate is an very effective way to quit smoking. Hence a very good smoking cessation pathway.
We recommend only using pharmaceutical grade vegetable glycerin, again not all VG is the same with a USP/BP grade rating. Most vegetable glycerin that you get in an flavour concentrate is palm oil based. Diacetyl in the form of Diacetyltartaric. All palm oil based products including vegetable glycerin made from palm oil. Have been recommended NOT TO BE USED for soda stream or flavour concentrate due to diacetyl (which is in fruit, dessert and cream based flavours in the industry) can cause “Popcorn Lung”
Flavrz does not use any palm oil based vegetable glycerin in any of our products.
NOTE: We have eliminated these listed ingredients from All Flavour concentrates
Vanillin
Diacetyl
Dikatones
Acetoin
Acetyl propionyl
Cinnamaldehyde
Palm Oil or Derivatives including VG derived from palm oil (Diacetyltartaric)
Did you know that poor quality VG or Vegetable Glycerine will clog or burn out your coils faster. Also if you are getting a harsh back of throat hit or taste, the quality of your PG or propylene glycol may need addressing.
