    E liquid question.

    the problem i have is that the general public do not know about diketones and really wouldnt even know what the numbers mean. its great that they are transparent but need to get those numbers down imo....and totally agree with the fact that they may not even be bad for you...but ignorance isnt a sufficient answer for myself personally an will be cautious with what i buy

  4. I totally agree with you. I do the same. I really don't need over a 20 watt battery anymore. I still have some VTC3 which are the only true 30A that I own. I tend to err on the side of being overcautious. Good batteries are cheap and readily available. VTC4's are going for $6.00 each, HE2/HE4's are going for $5.00, 25R's are also $5.00. If you need more power, you can get a true 25A battery in a LG ICR18650HD2 for $5.00 or a 30A 18650 LGDAHB6 for $4.50. There are some less than honest people out there. If you look around you will see that there has been cells rated at less than 5 amps with wraps on them that said 20 watts. There have also been a few reported unprotected ICR cells (unsafe chemistry) sold as vaping batteries.

    E liquid question.

    Well, I disagree with you. I think it's highly responsible of them to test their liquids and publish their findings. As I stated, the levels were low to non detectable. Vaping has always been about harm reduction. Never about risk free "smoking". there is no evidence that diacetyl has produced any illness or disease in any vaper and it has been around for as long as liquid has been produced. The issue of DA (diacetyl) and AP (acetylpropionyl) in e-liquid really gained some traction with the release of a study investigating its presence in e-liquid by Dr. Farsalinos and colleagues. Based on an analysis of 159 e-liquids and concentrated flavors expected to contain the chemicals, the study found that around 74 percent contained either DA or AP. The median daily exposure for vapers was calculated to be 56 μg (1 μg = 1 millionth of a gram) per day for DA and 91 μg per day for AP, which are 100 times and 10 times lower than the exposure for a smoker, respectively. is it avoidable? Probably, if you can get manufacturers to test and publish their results. Without that, you have no way of knowing if your juice contains it and to what levels.Ive said it before. Vaping is not risk free. And guaranteeing that there is no DA or AP does not in and of itself make it risk free. This is about harm reduction. DA has been singled out, but is not the only issue. And I don't care what claims are made, this is still the wild frontier and you vape at your own risk. I'm not here to defend diacetyl. I'm trying to put perspective on this topic.
