C10 and C12 are larger chains. I dont know why mixed mct is harsher than pure c8. What I know is out of the 6 diluents availible at that time, caprillic acid was the least likely to make my testing team have:
Throat irritation
Terrible after taste
Plastic taste
Lethargy
Shortness of breath
My test was preformed on about 50 phone salesmen overthe course of two weeks. I used all diluents 50/50 with no terps so I could see what was causing the “feeling like death” feeling.
