The warnings on the back seem quite severe, I'm wondering if I've bought something meant for cooking with and not intended for vaping. Does anyone have any experience with these?

I see OIL written on all 3 of them, oil is a big nono in vaping
Actually i'm an idiot and i never bothered translating the website when i bought them. But once translated, it clearly states that they're for eliquids. Here are the ones that I bought:

So now I don't know what to do.
Find out how much to dillute them by and what with.
Sorry if this seems rude but since a quick Ctrl+F of your profile shows you've only commented here four times I have to ask: have you read the sidebar?
Because there's one specific link you should probably read based on your comment: Vaping Essential Oils and Lipid Pneumonia (TL;DR: essential oils are not lipids)
Not rude at all, but as soon as i see oil, its a no-go for me. And honestly, i'd rather recomend people to not vape oil and be wrong than saying sure go ahead and them basicay killing themselfs.
But if this is vape safe then, ill stand corrected. Luckily i am not the only person in this section. And apparently i just learned something new.
Thankyou my good sir.
Cool, and yeah I totally understand where you're coming from and the "better safe than sorry" attitude, I just thought I'd point out that just because it says "oil" doesn't necessarily mean it's harmful to inhale, owing to the weird colloquialism of "essential oils" being called that because they're not miscible with water, even though they're not lipids but actually a mixture of different aromatic compounds common in many if not a majority of flavors used for vaping (e.g. "lime oil" is going to be almost entirely made up of terpenes like limonene, pinene and citral).
That said, you'll still want to be vigilant because sometimes flavors sold do contain things you'd want to avoid. Prime example: never vape anything with TFA Slim Mint Cookie in it (since it does contain lipids, specifically 4.85% to 9.69% cocoa butter).
Hope this helps!
The ingredients list very clearly shows those are not for vaping
> The ingredients list very clearly shows those are not for vaping
Dude, I'd been mixing for years when you first created your current account and even I have to ask, given the following:
(1) you've still got /u/SumDudeYouKnow's post linked in the sidebar that explains about how essential oils aren't lipids and therefore lipid pneumonia's not a concern;
(2) the other ingredients listed at a glance just look like run-of-the-mill common aromatic compounds, not anything warranting concern; and
(3) that two out of three of the flavors OP has are for sale on BCF right now (middle bottle in the pic, right bottle in the pic)
...specifically which ingredients are you seeing that aren't for vaping?
Please name them. If they're any cause for concern I'll happily retract this comment, but if not then I must ask that you retract yours.

You just go and use them. Yes concentrated like this these can be dangerous and an irritant. But!
You will only use 1-2% in your mix or so. Which is fine.
It is like a lot of other stuff that has warnings written all over them, but in small amounts it is perfectly safe.
Of course you should not vape concentrated flavors straight like that, or ingest or use them as an ointment. Of course that is quite dangerous.

This is my pineapple:
​
You've got big plans there though. I never felt the need to buy big bottle of inawera, besides that ananas of course. Can make a litre with just a couple of 10mls.
"If swallowed immediately call a doctor" + "No Smoking" should be the first indicator that you shouldn't vape this.

Honestly if that's what you got then you should be fine. The whole "If swallowed call a doctor" is a major red flag to me. I'm not sure wtf is going on there since it literally says its for E-Liquid. If you use them to add to a diy mix I'm sure its fine. Those labels though...
Note that "if swallowed, call a doctor" is reasonable advice for any number of things which, if diluted, are reasonably safe.
Doing shots of 190proof can be harmful to your health. But practically anyone could handle a shot of 30proof. (So long as they can raise the glass themselves. Newborns, people in comas, etc are obvious exceptions.)
Who smokes, SMOKES, yes that thing with fire, concentrated flavors, or even juice?
​
Why would you even try doing that?
Op these are fine to vape i use them in my liquids and my bottles say the same(original inawera 100ml bottles) . Very bad info in the replies . All flavours have these warnings like this check Msds/ sds on all flavour companies sites.
They are Raspberry Malina , Lime Limetka and Natural grapefruit for anyone else wondering .If you worried by this i would suggest vaping vg/pg on it's own .
I just gagged....thanks

"Avoid breathing vapor" that's the one warning that really caught my attention. Aren't you supposed to breathe the vapor when using ejuice?
Yes, but it's important to discern between inhaling vapors from a concentrate, and breathing vapors from a solution where that concentrate is diluted to a tiny fraction of it's original state.
Since you seem to have gotten your answer, is 100ml the smallest size when purchasing direct? That would probably last me a decade :)
Maybe it's because it's not for vaping and therefore much cheaper, but that's a hell of alot of extract unless you paid a small fortune.
Don't bother buying anything over 30ml unless you've bought it before and vaped it for a few days. Also check out e-liquid-recipes.com and go to resources, flavors, and then sort by #recipes and you'll have the most common flavorings listed, sort through the first page or so and you'll be far less disappointed. The ones you bought probably wouldn't have made good ejuice anyways to be completely honest. Just cheat and pick flavorings that have already been tested and have a reputation, no blind brand loyalty in flavors.
i know it's a lot. it's because i use these flavours in a recipe of my own that i've been making for years. the difference is that up until this time i've been buying those flavours from UK vendors who rebottle the concentrates - i wasn't clear whether i've bought the same thing direct from inawera or whether i've bought something else by accident.
That's like 5 years worth of raspberry Melina. That shit is crazy potent and should be used under 0.5%. it's worth noting that inawera does have a lot of oil flavorings that you should not vape. As an example, I once bought a Blood Orange flavouring that separated instantly in red oil drops that floated in my mix. (Tossed the mix and got refund). The lable had evil warning marks on it. Do not breathe, combustible, and the evil one with the dead trees and fish.. needless to say it was not safe to vape.
Just be careful and when in doubt, email the manufacturer.
Don't use those. Do you have a link where you bought it?
I bought them from inawera.com

That looks like Natural Grapefruit, lime and raspberry flavors. Probably 90% of the people here have vaped at least one of those. I regularly use 2 of them.
