CAP VCV1 because it feels like it coats my lungs in a protective film. The more I vape it, the more protected my lungs are.

I won't mix with anything from FW. Also stuff with real sugar.

The sugar I get, but I haven't started to DIY myself yet. What is wrong with FW's stuff? Which flavoring companies are the most highly recommended?

For a while FW lied, claiming certain flavorings of theirs did not contain sugar. I just think they're sleazy. The majority of my stash is CAP, FA, TFA, and IW.

Ditto - I have stopped using their flavours all together.

I just starting looking into the DIY ejuice today. Any chance you can explain the CAP, FA, TFA ect. Are these companies that make the concentrates. And do you recommend ones to stay away from other then FW

To my knowledge, they still haven't released a full lab report on the diketone levels in their flavourings. If you want to stay completely diketone free stick to other companies like FA

Are there health related concerns with flavors containing real sugar, or are those concerns simply limited to degradation of coils?

Yes, health concerns. When sugars burn, they can produce acetaldehyde — a known addictive compound and also one theorized to be a carcinogen. In the human body, alcohol is metabolized into acetaldehyde as well, which is considered one of the risks for cancers from alcoholism.

Since sugar in flavorings has been mentioned several times here is a link to the flavorings that are known to contain it.

Some say he's sailing around the world, some say his mom forgot to pay the internet bill. The truth is, he was eaten by beavers.

Bbc actually had a documentary where menthol ejuice killed epithelial cells in far greater numbers than I think a pineapple flavor

Using CE atomizers for the experiments always makes me take the results with a grain of salt but it's interesting nonetheless.

/u/2muchmonehandass to avoid or not, in the end it's your lungs, you decide.

So avoid menthol?

FW's Yellow Cake is a contender.

Anything I suspect contains Fructose or Glucose. Some have a sweetness that is too authentic to be sucralose or Erythritol, and causes a huge amount of cotton/coil damage in a short period which leads me to suspect some form of sugar.

I could be entirely wrong of course, however I'm more than willing to err on the side of caution. There are plenty of flavours out there to try so I needn't use any that make me uncomfortable.

I like TFA for the info they disclose. It's clearly marked if it has known ingredients that are potentially hazardous to vape. Honestly though, the only brand that I am weary about nowadays is Flavor West because as much as I don't really care about diketones, I don't want to vape fructose. So I try to avoid that company.
