S&G, in China makes nicotine for Johnson & Johnson, among other US pharma companies.
So do a few other Chinese companies.
I got a quote on 99.8% pure nicotine. 1kg (1 liter) was something like $250 shipped.
It's cheap as dirt, really. It works out to less than $30/liter for 100mg. nic.
RTS does it's own testing on it's nicotine. I do know that much.

And the funny thing about that. All that tobacco was shipped to China from the USA......

The vast majority of nicotine solution comes from China.
PG and VG may or may not come from there.
A "USA made" juice is mixed in the US from one or more China sourced ingredients.

Since nearly all the nicotine comes from China, I don't consider it misleading to state that a mixture made in the US is USA made. There is almost nothing made in the U.S. without at least one component sourced from another country.

I make my own juice. I use nicotine that almost certainly is originally supplied to my vendor's vendor at 99.8% concentration from China.
I don't sell it, but if I did, I'd call it USA made because that's where it is made.
Most people couldn't afford juice with nicotine source from the US or Europe.
There is such a thing and it's horrendously expensive.

If you saw the Chinese juice factories, like Dekang for example, you wouldn't characterize them as "slave camps".
I wouldn't hesitate to eat off the floor of a Dekang factory.
That's more than I can say about a lot of the kitchen counter juice labs in the U.S.
The biggest scandals in the nicotine and juice business in the last 2 years both involved US companies.
When Chinese companies screw up badly, they get thrown in jail. The melanine pet food incident is a case in point.
When an American company, like Box Elder, sends out 200mg nicotine labeled as 60mg nicotine, he has a recall and life goes on.

Your passion could be better spent elsewhere. Maybe start with American clothing manufacturers that run slave labor camps in the U.S. territory of the Marianas Islands and stick "Made in the USA" tags on them.

Some nicotine is from right here in the USA...north or south carolina but it's cheapest out of china. As for pg/vg and flavorings, right here and Italy.

Sailorman, You would be surprised! R.A.R.A. have gone after Chem. labs, teaching hospitals, farms and even car dealers they didnt like. I have been keeping track for over 30 years and it has gotten worse in the last 10 years.
This is just a tiny sample. The North American Animal Liberation Press Office
If these people even suspect a chem. made in any lab will be tested on an animal, that lab could be a target.These people are bat .... crazy!

Not true. China national is the worlds biggest tobacco grower.

didn't say they were not. I said we export it and it comes right back to us..

Trade Data Report: Export /Import Profile of the Global and U.S. Tobacco Industry | World Trade Daily

I don't want to stray too far off topic on this just sort of a FYI

It's like this, Not many people are aware of this either. We export cattle to Europe, then we ship in cattle from New Zealand. so that beef your buying in the store is overseas cattle not us beef..
