I did a little research and found out that there are a few e juice brands that are Diacetyl, Acetoin and Acetyl Propionyl Free. If I were to vape, it would be at 0 mg. I really want one, and I honestly appreciate all the advice to not do it, but is it really that bad? Sorry if I sound a little annoying.
The best way to make sure you aren't vaping diacetyl or other diketones is to make your own ejuice and choose the flavors carefully. There *are* brands that can be bought that don't contain them, but it's kind of a crap-shoot.
My advice would be... if you don't smoke, there's really no need to vape. *Unless* you are *strongly tempted* to smoke, in which case, vaping is safer, no matter what's in the ejuice. But if you don't need vaping to either quit or prevent smoking... why waste your money and your time? There's lots better stuff to spend money and waste time on. The only thing cool about vaping is how much better it is than smoking.
Nothing in life is 100% safe; getting up out of bed in the morning carries some risk, or even just staying in bed -- there is risk everywhere, all the time. But the best part of wisdom is to avoid *unnecessary* risks. If you're a risk junkie, independently wealthy, and have absolutely nothing better to do, I guess vaping is as good a time and money waster as anything else, and better than a lot. But, just... why bother?
