HIC,
Thanks for the response! I do have a couple of comments; My understanding is that while FA's Butter actually had diacetyl, ( I moved my FA Butter to the kitchen to make kickass popcorn) I believe the TFA butter doesn't have diacetyl but it like English Toffee has Acetoin and aceltyl propionyl which I realize are to be avoided.
I try to avoid all those but only if I can do it and still maintain as good of experience!
I am 71 years old and don't have a record of doing the safe thing! Up until 6 months ago I was inhaling a pack and a half of cigarette sized cigars a day, I ride motorcycles at over 150 mph, I build and fly experimental airplanes! I'm not advocating anything for others but for me there would probably be more important risk reduction steps than eliminating a little Acetoin and aceltyl propionyl!
I didn't state an opinion and won't - because honestly it's completely irrelevant. I just quoted the figures for anyone who is interested. FA Butter has 2% diacetyl. TFA English Toffee has up to 1.5% Acetoin + acetyl propionyl. There are plenty of other threads debating pros/cons of vaping each of those. Can we please not debate personal opinions on "safety" in this thread, too -- and just let everyone decide for themselves? As always, everyone can vape or avoid whatever they want with no judgement from me. Anyone concerned about various ingredients, I'm always happy to help research and find what I can.
