Homogenizers and Random Thoughts

Well that was unexpected to me. I remember talking to (I forgot her name) at MF and asking why Lemon, and a few other flavors came capped, with droppers on the side, vs. the other flavors with the droppers installed and shipped, she stated to keep certain flavors intact, and fresh.

I’ve transferred almost all of my MF’s to PET bottles, and am trying to remember other than the Lemon, which other ones arrived capped. @fiddy you know ??

Lemon , Lime , Orange , Apricot have all come with caps instead of the dropper thing …I belive Grapefruit and Guava as well BUT could be wrong …

Having ordered many MF flavors, when I first got one that was capped, it started me thinking about how I really felt (and maybe MF as well), about the dropper caps. What do they know that I don’t know ??

:slight_smile:

I had a few issues with the squeeze bulbs deforming, and not staying in the caps, and finally decided to move them all into PET’s with tight caps.

I never asked but assumed it was the reaction of certain flavors with the rubber droppers. I left my grapefruit on it’s side for about a month. It had eaten away at the rubber as the bulb had become very thin and soft. And yes I tossed that bottle of flavor.

High alcohol content required in citrus type flavours to make the oils soluble in water is the reason for the no bulb caps the EA will eat away at the rubber as @SthrnMixer mentioned

You know, it is very good. But I haven’t ever truly played with it enough to find the sweet spot for usage. I keep telling myself to do it, but for some reason it doesn’t happen. Perhaps because I’m not a HUGE orange fan. Guess I should get crackin and mix something. Orange creamcicle sounds like a plan.

Polypropylene (PP)

Stiffer and more resistant to heat, PP is widely used for hot food containers. Its strength quality is somewhere between LDPE and HDPE. Besides in thermal vests, and car parts, PP is also included in the disposable diaper and sanitary pad liners.

Same as LDPE, PP is considered a safer plastic option for food and drink use. And although it bears all those amazing qualities, PP isn’t quite recyclable and could also cause asthma and hormone disruption in human.

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET or PETE or Polyester)

PET is also known as a wrinkle-free fiber. It’s different from the plastic bag that we commonly see at the supermarket. PET is mostly used for food and drink packaging purposes due to its strong ability to prevent oxygen from getting in and spoiling the product inside. It also helps to keep the carbon dioxide in carbonated drinks from getting out.

Although PET is most likely to be picked up by recycling programs, this type of plastic contains antimony trioxide—a matter that is considered as a carcinogen—capable of causing cancer in a living tissue. The longer a liquid is left in a PET container the greater the potential for the release of the antimony. Warm temperatures inside cars, garages, and enclosed storage could also increase the release of the hazardous matter.

THIS JUST IN ::::

OXYGEN still considered relatively safe for inhalation by humans. Recent studies have found no correlation to breathing oxygen and diabetes, cancer, heart disease or rickets.

Oxygen use and associated risks is largely anecdotal - everyone I know who has died has used oxygen. Many have actually stolen it - too many oxygen thieves in this world

It’s amazing innit? And let’s not forget some people are not getting near enough intake of dihydrogen monoxide. They just don’t realize how very important it is.
