Are there any made in USA E Cigarettes?

[InTheShade]

I'm not trying to beat a dead horse, but by not speaking up, I perpetuate these myths.

You know that US manufacturers can buy raw materials from here, send them to China for processing, reimport them to the US and (so long as 75% of the labor COST added is US) can label them as made in the USA?

It's getting harder and harder to determine where our food and food ingredients come from.

Now e-liquid is even more difficult because it is not classed as a food and there is little or no regulation regarding it's manufacture, labeling or distribution.

So yes, if it makes you feel better, buy an "all American made" juice but there are no guarantees as to the safety or ingredients of the juice.

That comes from "one time someone used hemorrhoid creme as toothpaste, or dumped a cup of hot coffee in their lap and sued everyone and their mother in law because "hey coffee is hot"" and we got "warning labelled" to death
See what I mean

And sorry bud...ingest, if you put it in your body...got news for you
ingest - definition of ingest by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

he impled ingest by eating by he only uses usa pots and pans so he doest ingest china made toxins. he never asked about china liquid just that he never wanted a china made ecig, couldnt see much toxins in a ecig such as a ego.

thats why at the end I advised him to buy a china made ego but use usa branded e liquid and he will be sorted.

Sorry, but nearly every e-cig has an LED light on it and, I'd bet at least one part inside even a Provari was made in China, or elsewhere overseas. As for juice, chase the ingredients back far enough and, odds are, again it comes form overseas. But the same is true of that Ford, Chevy, Jeep, Cadillac, whatever it is you drive, some material, somewhere in that thing came from overseas.

Careful, even the OJ you had for breakfast might have been from Brazil - those yummy cantaloupes in the produce isle just might be from South America too. I work in transportation - freight relocation AKA the trucking industry and there is very little of anything that is 100% made in the USA PERIOD. Somewhere along the line something from some other country gets in there, pretty much no matter what it is unless you raise, grow or make every single part of it yourself and, even then, be careful, the feed for the animal, or that fertilizer you need for the garden might have something form overseas in it, or have something from overseas put on it in the growing process.

So, relax, the LED won't hurt you and, even if it is made in China, it's a good e-cig. Oh and, don't come visit me - every light bulb in my home is LED - saves a lot on the electric bill and, I rarely need to change light bulbs. and, some of the parts in that computer your using came form China or Japan too.

Good info in this thread. I seem to prefer the US made juice. Have not found a "local" manufacturer yet that wasn't using some weird marketing gimmick to distinguish themselves.

All very good points. It is a good idea to be aware of where your stuff comes from. Doesn't necessarily indicate a problem with quality.

E-liquid originated in China. The whole idea of a PG/VG carrier with nicotine in it was developed by Jide Yao, now of Hangsen. See Best Premium Electronic Cigarettes Brand Juice,Liquid Flavors|Hkhangsen.com

More than 95% of the e-liquid used in the whole world comes from the big three e-liquid companies: Dekang, Hangsen and Liqua, all producted in Chinese laboratories.

The Dekang production facilities look like this: Dekangbio Natures gifts - YouTube

When you were a smoker, you ingested lots of cool stuff like carbon monoxide, ammonia and formaldehyde, as well as hundreds if not thousands of other interesting chemicals. Were they any better for you because they were sourced in American tobacco?

Vapermate's juice is USA made, but even if you're buying a US made cig, you're getting a chinese battery inside it.

Well, just one example of how crazy it can get. This was a few years ago, I picked up a load of oranges (as a truck driver) in Yuma, Az that had come from Brazil. Took those big bins of oranges to Lakeland, Fl to be put in Sunkist boxes and, waited overnight while that was done. Took those same Brazilian oranges all the way to Salinas, Ca so they could be stamped "Sunkist." Now I had California Sunkist Oranges in my trailer and, delivered them to a grocery warehouse in Denver, Co. Those Brazilian oranges hit the produce shelves in Colorado as "California Sunkist Oranges." And they sure didn't grow in California. Yes, that is legal - they did actually get the "Sunkist" stamp in California so, were in fact made Sunkist in California.

You think Tobacco growers do any less to end up with Made in the USA nicotine extract that was probably from plants grown and, even the initial pure nic extracted from the tobacco elsewhere? Bring in the pure nic, mix it with some PG or VG that really was made here in the USA, and voila, you now have nic base for e-liquid Made in the USA. Never mind where the tobacco grew or where the nicotine was extracted from the tobacco, the base for making e-juice was made in the USA.

So relax, let it be made in China, just do the research and know the quality and, you'll be fine.
