Accurate Flavour Weight Measurements

[Mr Ripple]

Should i consult my notes???

Funnily enough i spent at least two years mixing by taste and the only notes i took were order receipts till i got fed up of not being able to recreate my creations.

Really? I thought this was associated with Popcorn lung in the early days. I remember reading that the UK has banned flavours that contain Diacetyl.

Not banned in concentrates.

Just found this which is why i thought it to

Not banned in concentrates.

I didnt know that mate. I presumed all flavours.
This was the article i read about it.

Juice only has to be TPD compliant if it contains nicotine so TPD compliant juice yes.
Concentrates no.

Thanks for that. I didnt think about the difference between the two. Makes sense now you mention it.

Rickster is on the right path. Any liquid compound always has a certain amount of chemical reactions going on and some molecules will get released as gas. Carbon Dioxide in drinks was just an example to demonstrate the point.

The fact that the batch I vaped on Sunday became better once I vaped a certain amount demostrates that whatever it was disappeared. My guess is the heat from the coil helped speed up the process of releasing whatever chemical was causing the off taste and it evaporated away. Even a basic knowledge of chemistry tells us the as you heat up any liquid the chemical reactions speed up.

It therefore isn't too much of a leap to think that giving these gases enough chance to be released out of solution and excape may be the right thing to improve the final result.

Aye, that’s why shortfills came about. To get round the volume restriction, but it also leans shortfills can contain diacetyl etc. A loophole.

My theory would be that the heat from the coil increased the speed of chemical reactions in the liquid (steeping) rather than evaporating volatile chemicals from the concentrates.

I understand the shortfill reasoning, just didnt asscociate that they would be exempt from the diacetyl ban in the UK.

Very possibly that may turn out to be right but that's the point of experimenting, to turn theories and guesses into hard facts.
