Upon Further Review.. E-cig Breakdown

Ok people, I have found some great info that should be a sticky post here on the forums.
Most of these e-cigarettes / vaporizers from China come with certifications, CE and ROHS and a large private testing company based in the UK called SGS.

The link provided is a breakdown of the E-cigs components and contents performed by
Test company: SGS= SGS group, ITC=ITC group.

In Short, Beside the nicotine contents the product IS harmless to the human body and leave no trace, vanish instantly, leaving no smell, particles or pollution.
BOTTOM LINE, PERIOD!

Oh Did I mention that SGS is the official test company of E-bay...

There are between 7-11 manufactures of the Electronic cigarettes, cigars and pipes in the Southern China, where most of those devices come from. It is a very open research and development set-up that rules and most of the products come from the same source and therefore the same technology. There is the voice technology technique that makes the atomizers work based on voice, noise, blows, puffs or loud tones – and there are the Air flow technology that only operates on drags on the products. 3 manufacturers are very open for their innovation and are prepared to share their findings and development with us.
AcceptableChoice have visited 9 factories and evaluated those and their products. From this evaluation set-up a number of research materials, documents, analysis and documents have been available and is the basis for some of the findings in this report.
In order to debate the products properly, you need to separate the products in the electronic device and the filters with the substance.

Google keyword search SGS inspection electronic cigarette.

Fantastic read, very reassuring.

these CE and ROHS marks cover the device not the liquid. all electronics must carry these marks in order to be sold in Europe and possibly elsewhere as far as I was aware.

This is good to see.

Has someone alerted KDMickey as this was one of the questions Dr. Nitzkin, I believe, asked regarding the hardware?

I love reading about the reality.
But its the perception that threatens us.

Yes the perception of these devices IMO is the problem. At my first thoughts I thought of drug paraphernalia. It is what it is. An alternative niccotine delevery device that delivers a Legal substance. What it looks like should not matter as long as it is safe. These tests show that we are not smoking paint chips, glue ect.

Yes it answers many questions you see over and over here in the forums.

It gets a bit tecnical for many to understand but it go's thru all aspects of your e-cig piece by piece and includes a a test in health conditiond regarding the e-liquid filters.
