How many vendors do you know of who make clean quality liquids in a lab environment?I know of Johnson Creek(didn't like it.) Innovapor's Ultrapure(love it).Janty(haven't tried it yet)Ecopure(didnt really care for it)and Halo(some of it was ok).Thats about all I know of.Now I've tried alot of juice from alot of different vendors but I worry about how its made and the environment its being made in.Innovapors Ultrapure is what I've been vaping lately and the one I feel the most comfortable with.

Lab environment such as Innovapors Ultrapure states it is made in a lab by scientists.Surely they can't be the only company doing it.

Oh, so they have pictures of their lab? Or they just say it's a lab? My question, specifically is, what makes a lab? A clean enviroment in which the juices are professionally mixed? Or something more?

Could a lab be a sterilized basement? Why does it need to be labeled a lab? I am just curious.

Oh, and yes, cigarettes are designed in a lab, keyword, designed not manufactured. How else do you think they've perfected the ingredient list to make people addicted for life? Throwing gallons of random ingredients on a giant tobacco pile in a factory until they got it right?

Wow we got some nit pickers here.To start with no where in my thread did I ask "are there any eliquids that are designed in a lab"?No,I asked "are there any eliquids that are made in a lab".You ask "what makes a lab"?Well its pretty simple I would say.A government approved clean steril facillity with a bunch of scientist running around in it.Not a semi clean room in the back of the house with one or two hippies mixin up nicotine and food flavoring.I hope you understand it this time Levi.

Nor did I ask if that's what you meant, that comment was meant for cigarettes, as they are developed in a lab, yes.

No need to get touchy there buddy, just trying to help clarify things to give everyone a better perspective of what exactly you're looking for. You want a company with a 'Government approved' facility with scientists making your juices, gotcha. All I was asking is, how do you know that the companies you're buying from actually provide your designated requirements? Are you aware of their scientists' credentials or backround? A scientist in my mind is someone who practices science using experiments. In that light, I could be declared a scientist, as well as yourself. Point is, if you're going to be picky and for specific reasons, shouldn't you at least validate it completely?

Are you worried that some vendors are making their juices inconsistant? Or are you worried about germs? Or both? To better help you find a company that can provide you with your needs, more specific information would be helpful as to why you're seeking such a facility.

Freedomsmokeusa was health department approved. They have it somewhere in their forum. I've never gotten anything from them that I was scared to vape.

The only advice I can give you is to contact a vendor that you would like to buy from and ask if they have any documentation that shows they have been health inspected (or whatever term you want to use).

I've bought from gobs of vendors and have yet to encounter a problem with cleanliness when it comes to the liquids. I pay attention to my liquids but if they look good, I vape it. Yes, I hope all vendors keep their labs (or whatever you want to call it) clean and tidy but I don't require a board certified vendor. I used to smoke for cripes sake!

There are food production standards, so I understand your concern for e-juice production standards. You're wondering about Billy-Jo-Bob-and-Beth's-famous-kitchen-table e-juice.

OTOH... you'd be surprised at the great foodstuffs (and e-juice) you can get from people's kitchen (and the great businesses that started that way - like some cookie companies).

I 2nd the DIY idea for you if you are worried about it.

I'm just being playful. I totally understand a desire for safety. There seems to be a mixed bag of people in our world. I figure the odds of survival are better in the niquid world (even in some crazy lady's basement) than at a Marlboro factory or a Pfizer lab. I cannot prove that, but I can hope.

Oh, but the crazy ladies juice tastes so gooooood!

I'm sure that some of the eliquid I enjoy was made in a less than sterile environment by unqualified people, and I'm OK with the risk.

My bigger worry is that a couple of "bad juice" incidents that cause harm will get huge publicity and accelerate the locking down of the liquid. It's looking to me like the FDA will be tightening the noose on juice eventually, but I want that to be put off for as long as possible.

Exactly. Somehow all of us ex-smokers were okay in knowingly taking in carcinogens with every drag of an analog. To morph into some kind of health nut with a whole new set of standards regarding our e-liquid just seems so hypocritical. Sure, we want to know if the liquid is being made in some sort of a sterile environment but we're talking about sealed containers that the liquid manufacturers work from to mix this stuff. It's not like they are scraping chocolate crumbs off a filthy dirty table and mixing it with it with other ingredients for our cookies. =)

No, I don't need certification from gubment or the FDA specifying how many rat hairs and just how much rat feces is legally allowed in my e-liquid, like in so many of our foods. I'm confident that the vendors I buy from operate in a sterile environment. I asked and am confident I was told the truth. To each his/her own, I suppose...

Johnson Creek does as stated but i dont really think its that big of a deal. sure i want a clean safe ejuice but that can be done in more places than just a lab. i do really like Johnson Creek's TN Cured. in fact its my all day vape. does that have anything to do with it being made in a lab no but i do respect and commened them for that.

here is a link that shows the JC lab.
