University Study Discovers that Flavorings Make Stuff Taste Like Other Stuff

In what may just be the most idiotic piece of journalism we’ve stumbled upon in the history of Vape Squad, we bring you this story from the National Journal, wherein they purport to explain “how candy e-cigarette makers make their products smell like candy.”


“If you take and smell a grape Phillies blunt, you’re smelling the same chemical used in grape Kool-Aid.”

–James Pankow


They go on report the shocking discovery that what makes flavored tobacco products taste like they do is the flavorings the manufacturers put in them.


(You may note that we just said “tobacco products.” That’s because the study actually looked at flavored tobacco, not e-cigarettes. Apparently whoever wrote the headline for the National Journal couldn’t be bothered reading the article first.)


According to the piece, a study was recently performed by researchers at Portland State University in Oregon. James Pankow, leader of the study, apparently has discovered that makers of flavored tobacco products use the same artificial flavorings other people use.


We have no idea why it took a university study to figure this out. Did they think they were stuffing actual grapes into those Phillies Blunts?

  1. The nicotine web content in each cigarette pack-59 mg/ml in the United States and also 20 mg/ml in the European Union-greatly exceeds most e-cigarettes on the market. In August 2018, Juul presented a 3% strength capsule with its mint and also Virginia cigarette tastes. Equal to 30 mg/ml. Each cartridge consists of propylene glycol, glycerin, flavor, and pure nicotine salt. Protonated nicotine does not have the inflammation of tobacco smoke.
