    The popcorn lung thing is because of diacetyl, which creates a buttery flavor.

    Nobody uses diacetyl flavoring anymore.

      Correct but in that study they were literally burning the wicks and filaments by running the vape dry.

      Even when I was vaping like 15+ years ago you couldn’t find liquid with diacetyl flavoring used. It was basically non-existent even then.

      Yup! 100% correct. The replacement flavors all contain a GRAS (generally recognized as safe for human consumption) replacement chemical that, if overused, tastes like vomit barf… cuz it’s in barf! If used in the correct quantity though, it creates a nice creamy/buttery/smooth flavor. Thank you, CAP Vanilla Custard 2.0 bottle I’ve had for like a decade and should replace!
