Oxalic acid is the one to watch for. The legal stuff is called apibioxal and you are allowed to trickle or vape with it. The problem for vaping is the OA is cut with silica and glucose which makes a right mess of your vaporiser.
Whereas the illegal pure OA doesn't.
Otherwise just about anything the beekeeping suppliers sell is legal.
