*A [https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fchem.2021.756716/full study] published in 2021 found "that the mean number of chemicals detected per product has in fact changed over the years; products collected in 2017 and 2018 appear to have a significantly higher number of chemical compounds when compared to those collected in 2019.

Of the 825 samples tested "diacetyl was detected in two vaping liquids acquired prior to 2018, 2,3 pentanedione was not detected in any vaping liquids analyzed in the Open Characterization dataset." No Diacetyl was found in the liquids acquired after 2018.
