Acetyl pyrazine vs acetyl propionyl

The confusion between these two substances stems from the fact that the AP abbreviation is frequently used on ecigarette forums when it's in fact acetyl propionyl abbreviation.

Pyrazine is a flavor, acetyl propionyl is a diketone, a molecule close to diacetyl, potentially harmful to the lungs vapers, used to bring creamy, woody, buttered or nutty notes in aromas.

It should therefore be noted that when manufacturers use A / AP abbreviations , they refer to acetoine and acetyl propionyl, these substances being progressively banned from products intended for the electronic cigarette for safety.

Acetyl pyrazine danger

Some vapers are alarmed by this product because of the confusion with diketones. It is not diketone.

And if there was danger, it should be noted that pyrazine available for vape is not pure but diluted to 5% in propylene glycol.

It may be added that its dosage must be particularly moderate, the use of a vaper is about 0.5% of its dilution in a recipe, a tiny proportion.

Its toasted taste is quite unique, although it is sometimes close to hazelnut, popcorn or peanut butter in high doses.

However, you can try using hazelnut, pecan nut or nuts to try to match it.
