E-Sold / Gel from CES

[JosiahW]

I picked up some E-Solid, or E-Gel at the feellife booth at CES in Las Vegas. feellife is the Chinese company that manufactures E-Solid. This company also manufactures processed foods.

The sample they gave me is the Cherry flavor 20ml bottle. They are selling this product in a squeeze bottle and glass bottle.

Active Ingredients
Food Flavor 10%
Firming Agent 1%
Propulene glycol 40%
Glycerol 30%
Stabilizer 1%
Deionized Water 15%
Excipient 3%
Food Color .0001%

The bottle does not say if it has any nicoteen in it so I am going to assume it does not. There is a "People unfit for use: juveniles, pregnant woman" and "KEEP OUT of reach of children" notes on the bottle.

PROS

1. Produces a lot of smoke
2. Lasts about 10% - 30% longer than juice
3. Using GEL feels safer than using Liquid (this would be important for new e-vapor users
4. No head ache. I tend to get head aches when using a lot of liquid. I didn't experience that with the gel.

CONS

1. Turns to liquid: You can blow through one bottle fine without it turning. If you purchase more than one bottle you need to keep the ones you are not using in the refrigerator so that it does not become liquid.
2. Flavor was lacking in the Cherry. I did try the "China" flavor at their booth and that did have a strong flavor. Chould just be the Cherry flavor.

Overall I love the product. They need to increase the flavor (at least in Cherry) and you cant tote around a bunch of flavors for a long period of time. They need to be refrigerated if left out for more than 4 days.

Hope you enjoyed the review. Let me know if you have any questions.

Sorry this is in the New Users forum. I was away in Afghanistan for a year and the forum got updated and my account erased. Had to create a new one.

It will be interesting to see how gel will improve this year.

I tried researching this when it first popped up...I would like to know what the firming agent and the stabilizer are ......

Thank's for the post. I bet you had a blast at the CES. I have read a few posts about the gel.

If you were in Afghanistan in the service, I thank you!

Happy to serve.

Forgot to add one more PRO. No more leaking! Its one of the best things about the solid and I forgot to add it. If you let it sit for a long time it will melt and leak but I don't let mine sit for a long time.

I made two contacts in the company. I will get with them and see what they have to say.

I just wanted to echo the Thank you for serving sentiment!

The gel looks pretty cool. I am anxious to see if it takes off.

 

[Magnushawk]

It looks interesting but it will likely need to mature. I like that they made an attempt to disclose their ingredients but some of those were a little too general to actually count. Again, I'm sure it will get better. I know I want to know what goes into all this stuff. I'm not switching just to get hosed again, if you know what I mean.

I'm excited to see some innovation out there, so thanks for posting that!

Interesting concept. But I am leary of ingesting Chinese made things due to their record on quality control.

 

[JustPeachy]

Interesting stuff! Thanks for your service.

Josiah, thank you for your service to this country. My son just returned from Iraq, so I know how hard you worked over there. Thank you again and God Bless!

And thank you to your son.

 

[JosiahW]

I agree. I hope that an American company will pick up production. I have strong ties to one that can do it if I can get more information on the specific ingredients. Already know the percentages. They can formulate from that.

maybe i'm just silly but how do you use it? does it just sit on top of the cartridge filler?

 

[JosiahW]

The gel goes directly onto the atomizer. You would take the filler out of the cartridge. There is no need for a filler. Much like you would use a drip tip.

Vapor Gel E Liquid Coming Soon - Vapor Talk E Cig Forum

That is correct. The manufacturer is waiting on the tube that the gel will ship in. The tube arrives Jan 23 from the supplier to the manufacturer. The manufacturer only needs 1 day to fill the tubes with the gel and will begin shipping on the 24th. They are shipping from China so should arrive early to mid February. When VaporTalk will begin selling the product I do not know.

Woow, I have been trying to make some e-liquid into gel myself but it got messy, heee! So.......cool!
How much can you "drip" into the atty???????
