Le Mother's Milk of " Bunny Suicide »Has been one of the benchmark e-liquids in the world for over a year. This famous flavor with the creamy taste of strawberries has made many " addicts ”To such an extent that the American brand has found it in many points of sale. Since yesterday afternoon, information on the composition of the famous recipe is clearly worrying for the health of consumers, we have decided to do a lot of research and not to offer you this "controversy" in a thoughtless way.
SUICIDE BUNNY - A BRAND THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN POLEMIC
In 2014, " Bunny Suicide "Had been clearly accused of using diacetyl in its e-liquids and more particularly in its Mother's milk. The brand had announced that it had rectified the situation by publicly revealing the composition of its e-liquids via laboratory test reports. First of all a GC / MS test had been carried out the 08/09/2014 and the presence of diacetyl had actually been observed. After a "change" in the recipe, "Suicide bunny" relaunched tests on 16/09/2014 via the company « ABC Testing "(Advanced botanical consulting & testing) which therefore developed various tests on the range in question with relatively low concentrations of Acetyl propionyl (9.87 ppm) you can find them directly here.
MOTHER'S MILK - USE OF SUBSTITUTION DIACETYL
Wishing to offer its customers the famous US e-liquids, Taklope, one of the leaders of the online e-cigarette has decided to have a sample of Mother's milk tested at the French E-liquid laboratory (VDLV) to be sure not to poison them. After results (see the report below) it turns out that the " Mother's milk »By Suicide bunny does not contain diacetyl which is rather reassuring. But unfortunately it was only a facade because another product has appeared in the composition: acetyl propionyl which is an alternative to diacetyl but being just as dangerous, even if it is not prohibited.On this sample, it was observed a concentration of 400ppm when the precautionary principle gives maximum 20 / 25ppm (16 times more). Note that in general, a brand of e-liquid that uses acetyl propionyl rarely exceeds a concentration of 15ppm.
ACETYL PROPIONYL - BUT SO WHAT IS IT?
Acetyl Propionyl ,Diacetyl et Acetoin are 3 products that are part of the same family and are generally used for the design of pastry flavors, they are in a way flavor enhancers. The use of these products makes it possible to obtain a flavor that is a little more buttery and greedy with an aroma and that is why they are widely used and above all very appreciated by consumers. In food, these products are used, for example, in the production of bagged popcorn, which also allows them to have this "butter" flavor well known in the United States. These products are logically easily detectable in an e-liquid because they have a unique and gourmet flavor of buttercream. Their use in the vape is especially intended for e-liquids of the type custard / custard / creamy, clearly greedy, we will not find this kind of products in fruity or tobacco e-liquids. Without their use most of its gourmet e-liquids would have a taste that would be closer to a sour cream or an "Cream cheese". Diacetyl as well as acetyl propionyl and acetoin are products that do not are not made to be inhaled or vaporized, it has already been proved that inhalation of a high level of these products can cause significant damage to the human respiratory system. Clearly, it is essential to avoid consuming e-liquids that contain it.
E-LIQUID - WHICH E-LIQUIDS CONTAIN THIS KIND OF PRODUCTS
For once, the brand Bunny Suicide Is aptly named. If the latter does contain such high levels of acetyl propionyl or diacetyl, the risk to the respiratory system of several thousand people is potentially in danger. More importantly, when we know the use of these products, a real question arises. How many e-liquids are made with this base? Can we consider that all “Custard / Pastry / Creamy” flavored e-liquids with a good buttery taste are potentially dangerous? Especially in the United States where these flavors are very popular, there is a good chance that thousands of other e-liquids contain such a dangerous concentration. Everyone can have their own idea, but the precautionary principle must be a priority and when in doubt, you should probably avoid consuming e-liquids whose “buttery” taste would be too pronounced and especially on imported e-liquids.
MOTHER'S MILK: AN ANALYSIS TO BE TAKEN WITH CAUTION
If our partner, Taklope.com had a very good initiative in launching this pre-marketing sampling test, it should be taken with caution. On the one hand, because we are talking about the image of a brand that is marketed worldwide and has a great reputation and, on the other hand, because this could cause further damage to the world of vaping which has really no need for that. Most importantly, the test was performed by the LFEL (French Laboratory of e-liquid) which is none other than VDLV. We do not want to launch accusations or suspicions but it is clearly known that the competition in the e-liquid market is tough and that the test of a laboratory that belongs to another competing e-liquid brand cannot to be considered as cash. To be certain it would be necessary one or more other tests are carried out by other independent laboratories. For the moment, we can apply the precautionary principle but we cannot afford to accuse " Bunny Suicide Of wanting to poison their customers unless they are sure.
TAKLOPE: A GOOD INITIATIVE THAT NEEDS TO GENERALIZE NOW!
Our partner Taklope therefore contacted us to warn us of this test on " Mother's milk". After discussion, it seems important to us that this type of control be more frequent or even that they become generalized before any marketing (especially for “imported” e-liquids). The security of vapers must prioritize the proposed flavor as greedy or colorful as it is. In this direction, Taklope confirmed to us that this kind of checks will now take place more often, hoping that the other shops, suppliers and brands of e-liquids will, in turn, organize these famous tests soon. With the new standards AFNOR implemented, there is no doubt that in the future, it should be almost impossible to find this kind of harmful products in French e-liquids.
In any case, the whole community can only thank Taklope.com for prioritizing the safety of its customers over a potential increase in its turnover. To see now if Suicide Bunny will have an explanation to bring us in this case. In the meantime we can only invite you to no longer consume their e-liquids in a simple principle of precaution.
