This is one aspect thaat i don't see discussed much. I posted this in another thread a few days ago, but i will post it again here :
I just found out that MOV ( Mountain Oak Vapors ) is in the process of reformulating a few of their liquids. As you all know, starting Aug 8, vendors can not legally introduce new liquids into the market or change the formula of what they already have. By February 2017 ( August 2017 for small manufacturers ) they must submit to the fda the list of ingredients in their liquids. Since the ingredients in the TPA blueberry for example is proprietary, the fda has devised a system where the flavor houses can submit their ingredient lists ( i.e. formula ) confidentially into a flavor masterfile, so that they won't have to divulge the formulas to the vendors using them. If a flavor house does not want to do that, the vendor can no longer use that flavor. At that point it's too late for a vendor to reformulate the liquids using those flavors. So MOV will only be using flavors from flavor houses that have committed to give the fda their ingredient listing, and one of their providers explicitly told them they do not want to do that, and will be exiting the vape market. No, i don't know which one
Long story short, a lot of the vendors popular in this thread are likely faced with the same dilemma, unless they have no plans to continue doing business past Feb 2017.
had already heard that and it is a Definite concern Vendors need to understand and act on NOW!
I was thinking doing DIY, I'd be fine, though now I am concerned as an exiting Flavor manufacturer may also Drop certain (vaping specific Flavors) in Separation.
Example only - RY4 Asian, RY4D, etc. from TPA
Many of the Flavor manufacturers have developed Vape specific Flavoring.
