Vendors refusing to use Acetyl Pyrazine?

[Soylent_Seal]

I have noticed several "premium" juice vendors claim, among the long list of usual suspects (diacetyl, sweeteners, food coloring, etc) that they don't use Acetyl Pyrazine. Now, I understand the various reasons behind the refusal to use the other items, be it coil life, or flavor longevity, or known health issues, but in all my searching I haven't found a reason as to why AP would be on a list of items a vendor is proud not to use.

Can anyone clarify as to why they might refuse to use it?

I have no clue. I've never seen any heath warnings on AP.

Me either. I just ordered some a few moments ago from WL.

I don't see anything alarming on the Material Safety Data Sheet: http://www.mu-intel.com/upload/msds/20131224034141.pdf

..which includes the statement "Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values"

Maybe you could ask the vendors why they avoid this popular addition to tobacco flavors.

Summary:
-respiratory infection
-not fully researched

Keep in mind that we're not inhaling the percentages that are being studied.

Still better than smoking, considering AP is also in cigs.

Edit: grammar

What you have to realize is the safety data is based on the raw undiluted material and does not apply to the amounts used in a mix. Think of it this way. A straight dose of chlorine powder will kill you if ingested or if the fumes are directly inhaled. But at proper amounts as found in tap water or a swimming pool it is perfectly safe.

Sounds like someone has confused acetyl pyrazine with acetyl propionyl.

I wanted just a question mark, but I need 10 characters.

The OP is probably referring to acetyl propionyl, not acetyl pyrazine. Acetyl propionyl carries the same inhalation risks as diacetyl/acetoin as related to butter/custard flavorings. I can see why commercial vendors would be moving away from using it.

Thank you for the clarification.

You are 100% correct. The vendor I first noticed it at was TVC, but I couldn't double check as the TVC site is currently offline. I apparently got the two confused.

Wanted to ask on another thread but forgot. Is your name in reference to Soylent Green?

It's actually a reference to another handle of mine which is a Soylent Green reference so in a roundabout way, yes.
