Please Note: E-liquid Labeled Acetyl-Propionyl Free means that particular e-liquid DOES NOT contain acetyl propionyl

Acetyl Propionyl (pronounces Ah-see-tel Pro-pee-ih-nil) is typically used as a solvent for cellulose acetate, lacquers, paints, inks, and is also used as a starting agent for drugs, dyes, and pesticides. Most commonly, it is known as an artificial flavor, particularly within the vaping industry for e-liquids. It has a flavor and aroma profile that have been known to carry a particularly sweet, creamy, buttery, cheesy, and fruity flavor, with notes of caramel.
Currently there is some controversy surrounding the use of this substance in vapor products, though no concrete evidence has emerged to explicitly label it as harmful. There has been discussion of acetyl propionyl causing damage to the respiratory tract, and it has been known to harm the lungs in studies done on animals. For the time being, until further research emerges, we will carry e-liquid brands that contain acetyl propionyl, but we will identify them as such.

Diacetyl (pronounced die-AS-i-til) is found naturally in low concentrations in foods such as butter and beer, and is a byproduct of fermentation. High exposure to diacetyl in production settings has been linked to rare respiratory illnesses such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Although the risks are much lower for vapers inhaling diacetyl-containing e-liquids, it is important to know the potential consequences of extended diacetyl inhalation. Studies have found that e-liquid containing diacetyl may cause harm to the respiratory system over time. As a result, DIRECTVAPOR will let you know which e-liquids are diacetyl-free so you can make informed decisions when selecting e-liquid.
