Is this flavoring ok 2 use?

[Thepmc81]

Hi peeps I got some vg from my local boots! & I'm gonna order some flavoring.
But when floss was in sainsburys she got these


38mil bottles for £1. Any idea if they're safe 2 use? Ty

I wouldnt tbh,plus they are very weak for vaping,you would have to add them at about 50% to get a good flavor,plus what's ok to eat isnt always good to vape,just hangfire and wait for you proper concentrates.

You have to make sure the flavouring doesn't contain Diacetyl.

Some of the food flavors have something called diacetyl in especially vanilla and you dont want to be vaping that,so best wait for your proper flavors as they are all pretty much stated diacetyl free.

Those flavors I have don't have diacetyl in them! Well it doesn't say that anywhere on the bottle!
Ingredients are- water, pg & flavoring. It also says the flavoring in the product is made from natural sources! Idk

The bog standard food flavors may seem like a good idea at first, but if you use up to 50%, that works out quite expensive the more juice you make. For example, I use a particular lime flavor at 1.5%. I make up 250ml at a time, and only need 6ml or so of lime concentrate, so the flavouring cost is less than £3, and I end up having a few ml left over for the next batch.

Of course, it's up to you what you do, but it might actually work out more expensive because the food flavors from the supermarket are not as strong as the ones typically used in e-juices.

Diacetyl doesn't have to be written on the bottle. It comes under the header "flavouring".
