I may have to slice it to get it in the Priority mail box but hey .....it is a nice one :<0)

I have been learning a lot about mixing my own juice. In my learning I ran across this controversy about the 5 Pawns Site you sent me Phrank? Thought it was you. Anyway if it was, those guys are getting a lot of crap from the vaping community. Evidently one of the shops that sells a lot of juice company fluids asked them for their ingredients before they would sell anymore of it. After many refusals by 5 Pawns they sent it out for testing themselves. The results show they use massive amounts of Diketones. Like off the chart amounts.
"Diacetyl and Acetyl Propionyl: the Basics. Diacetyl (DA) is a food flavoring you'll likely come into contact with everyday, but it's also been associated with lung problems when inhaled, in particular due to a condition called bronchiolitis obliterans or “popcorn lung disease.” "
No one is afraid of getting popcorn lung but the chemicals do damage lung tissue when inhaled. As I understand it they seal up pores in your lungs that let the oxygen into your system. I have personally shelved 2 flavor concentrates because I have learned of other ways to get flavors without those chemicals. Most e-juice companies have stopped using them.

Just thought I would pass the info along so you could look into it and decide for yourselves about the risks. Some worry about it some don't. My opinion is that while it does enhance the flavor and feel of the vape why risk it. I don't want to give up 1 nasty for another :<0)

Thanks 10pups, but from all I've read and understand, it was the powder that the workers were inhaling which caused popcorn lung.
And I do agree, if there's another way to get the flavor and good vape, why use the DA

Just have to chime in on this thread. Ive been vaping for about 4 years now. Here is my set-up that i take with me to work. Keeps me going all day. I vape at 110w and go thru 1.5 sets of 3 batteries a day. And about 20 to 25mil of juice. I enjoy the fruity juices myself. I was a pipe smoker who inhaled pipe smoke. It was a bit of a hard change to the vape but i did it.
Juices are 20pg/80vg and 3mg on the nic.

XVOStick with my Kayfun V4. I quit the nasties in November 2012. I make my own 12mg strawberry liquid. I have 5 kayfuns loaded with juice and ready to go when the taste starts getting too burnt. 6 wraps of 28 gauge Kanthal gives me a little over an ohm. Can chainvape all day on 1 LG brown wrapper HE2 20 amp 3200 mAh 18650 battery. I've been on this setup for two years. I run at 5 to 7 watts.

My Smok TFV8 came with a buildable deck. I use it most the time unless I just get lazy like right now. I got the quad coils in it right now (0.16 ohms) and it likes to be ran between 120 - 180 watts. 120 is high enough for me! I normally run Home Made Clapton Coils. Six wraps on two coils gets me .23 ohms. Then run it 110 to 120 watts and shes a chucking the vape! 3 Batteries don't last but about 7 to 8 hours. I keep thinking about picking up the pipe now and then but I know it will taste horrible! And that's using friendly words, if you know what I mean.
