Are some flavors supposed to be oily?

submitted over 8 years ago by miatatony

I recently bought the mint sampler from wizard labs, and I used a cup of water to clean out and dilute my mini turkey basters (i forgot what they're called), and I noticed when I was done that one of the flavorings was floating on top of the water surface, like oil, unlike most flavors which just dilute into the water. Is this normal? I'm just a bit thrown off by it, I thought all flavors were PG based and would be water soluble.

>mini turkey basters

Pipettes shall from now on be referred to as "mini turkey basters" from hence forth and until the end of time. No going back people.

Could be the menthol?

I would wait til the pipette is completely dry before using it, you don't want to vape tap water and you don't need extra water in your mixes.

Some flavors have oils in them yes. Usually nothing to be concerned with.

I'm not super informed, but there's no risk with lipid pneumonia? I asked a question about oils on here and someone mentioned that.

Not all oils contain lipids. Re: FW Blood Orange

FW Ecto Cooler has this problem, it separates like a bitch. Depends on the flavours though it's probably nothing to worry about.

Water solubility is not a requirement, it just lets you know there's definitely no lipids in there. There are some borderline substances that are only slightly miscible with water, but still lipid free. Also, PG soluble =/= water soluble

I believe the flavor TPA - Holiday Spice contains Lemon Oil and Nutmeg Oil according to their website, potent stuff! Flavors molecules differ enough in solubility in PG\VG versus water that squirting them into a glass of only water will make the lighter water hating molecules shoot to the top.
