I recently got the accurate amount of DAAP(Diacetyl/Acetoin/Acetyl Propionyl) from TPA and i thought it would be a good idea to make a list of how much/little one can use of each flavor before it exceeds the recommended limit set by ANEC (ANEC).
The limits are:
- Diacetyl: 20ug/ml
- Acetyl Propionyl: 44ug/ml
​
When it comes to Acetoin i have used numbers from on of the few studies that looked at the conversion from Acetoin --> Diacetyl.(Study).
For the flavors that contains more than one of these ingredients i have chosen to only post the lowest percentage, for the flavors that also contains Acetaldehyde or Furfuryl Alcohol i have set it at 0%..

I guess for someone out there, this will be their first introduction to safety info about vaping flavor compounds.
So I'll just link to https://safety.diyejuice.org/
A great resource, which u/baade89 has also been a part of
I'm curious what the content is for TPAs DX flavors. They state that there isn't any. Are those not safe for vaping anyway?
The DX line doesn't have any DAAP, they used Butyric Acid instead..
I looked through all DX flavors (SDS And TPA'S Spec sheet) and the only 3 flavors that stood out was.
DX Brown Sugar = Molasses
DX Milk Chocolate = Chocolate extract?(No CAS number)
DX Milk = Propyl Formate (STOT SE 3 (UK Blacklist) )
Dude. Good work! Just to be clear, I should use boysenberry at or below 1% to avoid DAAP over exposure. However if I use another flavor that is also at the same daap % in the same mix, the new % becomes 0.5% for both. Is that right?
Up to 1% is correct.
If you use TPA Boysenberry (1% Acetyl Propionyl) and TPA Cheesecake (1% Acetyl Pripionyl) then 0.5% of each is correct.
If you use TPA Boysenberry(1% Acetyl Propionyl) and TPA Fudge Brownie(1% Acetoin—>Diacetyl) you can use 1% of each flavor.
I have to say that some of these flavors has both Acetoin And Acetyl Propionyl in them but I chose to only post one. I could probably make a spreadsheet with everything if people are interested.
Thanks! I mean I'd be interested in that, but if its a ton of work, what you've done here is plenty (and awesome!)

If I'm reading this right, I can use TPA Marshmallow and TPA Bavarian Cream at up to 35% before it exceeds the limit I should use? So 1-2% would be safe? Even if I sub ohm and chain vape all day?
Also is TPA Berry Cereal missing from the list?
You could’ve avoided all of this by just saying “yeah don’t buy TPA”
Why? There's some good TPA flavors.
I'm not particularly concerned with DAAP, but some are and more information is better.
That Capella long string of ? Is more concerning to me.
Capella wouldn’t share the exact amount in their flavors. I’m working on changing their mind and considering the transparency other flavor houses are showing it’s most likely just a matter of time.
