Warning to diy ejuice

Hey all, I'm new to this forum but I wanted to bring something to the attention of everyone. I recently ordered hibiscus from tpa. On the back was a danger label. Says causes damage to organs! They don't take returns so I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. Don't use it.

It's not listed on their website. I emailed them and they confirmed it's danger. So please people, don't use it. Throw it out if you have it.

If it's not listed on their website, how did you manage to purchase that from them, I'd also like to see a picture of the front of that bottle as well, I smell troll

it says "MAY CAUSE DAMAGE' not will the air you breath 'MAY CAUSE HEATH PROBLEMS' shouting out critical scares need an educated analysis

Umm I thought that Perfumers Apprentice flavors were for perfumes, candle making and such.
And the Flavorers apprentice was for consumable flavorings.

Is this not correct?

I just puked in my mouth a bit when you posted this I am trying to think of a Chicken pot pie recipe dear lord
Just watched a vid of a review on it. He got a 10 ml free sample and mixed some up. Said it was awful and he can't get the flavor out of his mouth.
I think he used fire on his atty.

I remember years ago I had this grand idea to make tobacco flavors and early on in the mixing scene I grabbed M-Type tobacco I remember mixing it and there was some addictive quality to it and I actually thought I liked it so I upped the percentage I mean real high then "IT" came I do not know what "IT" is but suddenly I started puking I thought at first it was Nic OD and all kinds of stuff little did I know that stuff that M-Type totally overwhelmed my whole system for weeks I could not shake the smell or taste and if I am a bit sick and I vape certain Ejuice its like this mad flashback of Nasty :)

doesn't seem to be made for vaping if that's he same stuff

Why not? "Natural and artificial flavors, propylene glycol, water" are typical of flavorings used in vaping. I can assure you it vaporizes without wrecking coils & hardware (unlike flavorings with gums, added coloring, vegetable oils, sugars, etc.) The flavoring industry and perfume industry begin with many of the same base ingredients - same molecules. Think of perfume that smells of vanilla, for example.

Or is it the detailed components you're questioning? ( http://shop.perfumersapprentice.com/componentlist.aspx?sku_search=344638 )
No diketones are listed, if that's your concern. Of course a quick call/email to Linda at TFA could confirm that, if you want to double check.

It's not a flavoring I enjoy, but it's not one for vapers to avoid due to the ingredients, if that makes sense.

1. TFA provides current MSDS on this page: http://shop.perfumersapprentice.com/specsheetlist.aspx. (click "SDS U.S." link after any flavor)

2. TFA's current sheet for Hibiscus: http://shop.perfumersapprentice.com/msds/344638.pdf. It's dated 1/19/2017 - years newer than "shopify" has, though I didn't compare to see what, if anything, has changed.

3. Compare to some other flavorings, perhaps some you feel comfortable vaping. Here are some random excerpts:

Juicy Peach: http://shop.perfumersapprentice.com/msds/345569.pdf "central nervous system depression. Prolonged or repeated exposure to skin causes defatting & dermatitis"

Passion Fruit: http://shop.perfumersapprentice.com/msds/344802.pdf "avoid breathing {dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray}" "serious eye damage..."

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream: http://shop.perfumersapprentice.com/msds/346849.pdf "respiratory sensitization: category 1" "skin corrosion/irritant: category 3"


The MSDS contains all the (standardized, legally-required) warnings for each component *in its pure form*. Sure, it can look horrifying! Remember that none of the flavorings contain 100% of any component that prompted the warnings. This is just how MSDS work. Here's more about MSDS requirements & data provided in general: http://www.afscme.org/news/publicat...eets/how-to-read-a-material-safety-data-sheet.


In the end, it's always up to us to determine what we're willing to use, of course. TFA provides more ingredient info than most; one can see why others may not provide such detail - but be sure other flavor manufacturers use many of the same molecules.


If you're concerned about the effect of vaporized flavorings on living human tissue, there IS one company that's done such testing. Here's some info about FlavourArt's ClearStream Onward, where you can see test methods & results for that brand: http://www.clearstreamonward.com/home-en/ .

Outside of TFA and FA, most manufacturers tell us next to nothing. If anyone has more info for other brands, I hope they'll share some links.

1. TFA does list Hibiscus for sale, here: https://shop.perfumersapprentice.com/p-7375-hibiscus-flavor.aspx

2. TFA also provides a list of components in Hibiscus: http://shop.perfumersapprentice.com/componentlist.aspx?sku_search=344638

While I personally think TFA Hibiscus is a horror-show of a flavor, we're obviously looking at a troll out to smear TFA for some reason.

I think the difficulty is that "hibiscus" is a PERFUME ingredient, not a FLAVOR ingredient.

Check the posted link. It takes you to the hibiscus FLAVOR ingredient, not a PERFUME ingredient.

It tastes like Pizza Combos if that answers your question... Not overly cheesy and no meat. (thank Goodness)

That answers my question perfectly! Many Thanks!

I like Combos, and the Pizza is my favorite variety.
