Hey guys i posted this over in the general forum, but since this is a UK based supplier i thought I should post it here as well for everyone to see, so this here is a copy of my exact post in the general forum.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey guys and girls I got this email from Ok Smokey - Electronic Cigarettes & Accessories its their newsletter, anyway have a read over it, you might find it interesting.
"You may have heard that one of our competitors has announced that they will soon be selling 54mg Mixing juice. They also trumpet that all their liquids are made in the UK to the highest possible standards from the purest ingredients.
To many this will come as good news but at OKSmokey we prefer to look at the long term implications of selling such a potentially dangerous product and wonder about the credentials of their pharmacist. It would be interesting to get the opinion of The Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain about a member who blends this liquid and therefore sanctions its sale to the general public, regardless of their ability to dilute or blend it to their own, safe requirements. The term "mixing juice" does not make it any less dangerous and will not be accepted by a court of law in the event of a tragic accident.
OKSmokey only sell liquids that are ready to use as we do not expect you to have a degree in chemistry before you use it. Some of you may well be competent and intelligent enough to blend your own safely, but we say that safety always comes first and that the worst case scenario is considered before we sell any product.
Scenario 1. An easily confused or elderly person mixes their containers up and uses 54mg liquid in its undiluted form.
Scenario 2. There are those who will always try it, for no better reason than to find out what it is like.
Scenario 3. As with the young boy who decided to chew four weeks supply of nicotine gum, there is a chance that a child will pick up an ecig and have a quick puff.
It is not an overstatement to say that the end result could be the same. A heart attack!
We all know that the hugely wealthy pharmaceutical companies are scrutinizing the e-cig business as a whole and are waiting for such an accident to happen and will use those who sell ridiculously high strength liquids as an example. They will be in the position to demonstrate that the electronic cigarette business is unable to regulate itself and they would be correct. As long as there are traders who put profits before customer safety the future of the ecig will be in jeopardy. Using customers in a sick game of nicotine roulette is not an option and OKSmokey will not get involved in a contest to see who sells the highest strength in the belief that it will attract more customers. If that were the case we would sell large bottles of pure nicotine and let everybody get on with it.
We urge you to visit your regular website or Ok Smokey Forums • Index page and actively encourage others not to be tempted by these, or similar offers, as the ultimate result will be a blanket ban on ecigs and anything associated with them. It will be the eBay fiasco all over again but this time, with nowhere else to buy from.
Electronic cigarettes have an excellent reputation. Lets all keep it that way.
Happy and safe vaping.
