[paul4848]

Where is the cheapest place to get quality oxalic acid crystals for vaping for Varoa?

 

[Vanterrier]

I bought mine from Thornes

Thornes is probably the dearest at £18.00 per kilo
C Wynne Jones is cheaper at £12.00 per Kilo
But APC pure sells at £9.00 a kilo - even cheaper if you buy larger quantities

I've used APC for oxalic and acetic acid in the past, but 6science.co.uk for acetic recently

I presume your intended use is actually for cleaning purposes otherwise you no doubt meant to ask about OA blended with sugar, sand and fairy dust?

The OA thing is a bit of a farce.
We all know we are using OA, and a multitude of academics refer to OA in publications.

This whole charade brings the whole treatment and medications limitations and directives into disrepute.
I was wondering if there would be a difference between any off the shelf OA available as cleaning products from various suppliers or food grade OA, if such a thing exists?
I was once told that OA can have trace heavy metals in.

That's why many use APC, not only is it cheaper but is of a higher, cleaner quality

From everything I have read, gleaned and found out about the use of OA the "farce" began when a group decided to try and monetise and regulate its use in UK. I could be mistaken of course.

You could but somehow I doubt it. It also raises (yet again) what our national supposedly representative body were playing at when this all began.

How long do the makers of api-bioxal have sole rights to it?
I thought it was 10 years in which case it has already expired - if I'm right then other companies could market the same product, albeit with the same added stuff too!

 

[jenkinsbrynmair]

maybe they could market a diet version

Sugar free!​

As discussed at length, it makes no logistical or financial sense for another manufacturer to go through the process of introducing a generic api-bioxal formulation with such a small market and end users that openly use off the shelf OA instead. One would get better return on the money leaving it in a bank. If an altruistic applicant where to apply and get supported by a body of beekeepers it could work.
