First off incredibly thankful for this reddit group. I couldn’t have started mixing my own e-liquid without you all. You’ve made something that seemed like a huge undertaking much easier to understand and digest with the loads of information here. With that I’ve discovered the Safety Compendium that lists all the flavors with concerning ingredients.
For those that aren’t familiar here’s the link:
I’ve used this extensively as I’m researching recipes I’m interested in mixing and putting together my shopping list for flavors I need to buy.
This got me wondering. Does/ has anyone compiled a list of alternative flavors that would be suitable substitutions? If this this list exists please attach a link below and I will add it here for reference to this inquiry.
Your post got cut off there at the bottom.
If I'm understanding you want a list of basically all other flavors out there not on that list?
No he didn't get cut off, he was just testing a flavour and whether it was safe or not
He did cut his post off. He just replied. That's not even what he said.
I’m writing this on my phone and I hit post by accident before I finished. I’ll copy my text here, and repost when It complete. Rather Unhide it.
So....
This post is going to be epic. OP's already burned out 3 keyboards, a case of monster and an 8-ball writing it.
I have reactions to various flavors, from time to time, sometimes right away, sometimes after a day or two -- Always tried to figure out what might be the cause when info was available, correlating information in various SDS and GCMS data sheets (Thanks TFA/FA!)
I've suspected Chocolate Deutsch from FLV, but never knew they published any details. I had a reaction to Sweet Cig, too, similar in reaction to CD and other random flavors that I really wanted to continue use of -- In love with the scent outta the bottle with the FLV mentioned, and others for various reasons (taste, texture, flavor, mouth/lung feel, etc) -- but after the lung/sinus rape following each of those experiences, I was very hesitant to continue to try, try again. I'm very curious to science the FLV now -- I recently put Toffee on my next purchase wish list and from the info here, wondering if it's the cocoa butter I'm reacting to with the FLV mentions...
abdada had compiled a short list of flavors, back in the day; Unfortunately for the community, lost to the way back machine (I lost the original link, but after checking just now, it looks like it's been re-hosted at a newer domain I was never aware of (at faqfriday.com), fleshed out and updated...
Anyway, I was never aware of Safety Compendium's existence -- excellent work at that site!! There's definitely quite a few here that weren't on his list... Just wanted to say thanks for posting -- VERY helpful!!!
It's actually in the FAQ post we have stickied, in our sidebar, and Tesla has even posted about it twice.
I've been "around" for a good while, but haven't really been active in the sub lately -- every now and again I'll read something that piques my interest or I'll feel like helping with a reply, but few and fairly far between -- missed Tesla's posts, and haven't dove into the FAQ in quite a few years, but good to know.
No, the list doesn't exist, but that info is easily found. A list for that would be pointless, as some of the flavors aren't even good to begin with, and some are better created from multiple other flavors.
Agreed, it would be pointless to list a substitute for all of the flavors in the list. As I just looked over it to refresh my memory I realized there’s so many I’ve never even seen used in recipes. I’ll follow up with another post which focuses on specific flavors I’m looking to substitute from that list. As that might be more helpful to new mixers like myself.
