I have absolutely no desire for the FDA to stick their grubby little hands any further into my vaping cookie jar, thank me very much! I am wholly unqualified as a scientist nor does my computer desk qualify as a lab, and yet I still insist on making my own juice. I don't know if any of my vendors make what little juice I do buy in a sterile environment but it doesn't matter so long as it's clean and safe for them. I don't live in a sterile environment and I don't plan on doing anything with my juice other than vaping the hell out of it.

The most professionally produced e-juice you'll find is from DeKang, hands down.

Here's Vapor4Life's (kind of old) tour of a DeKang facility (not mentioned, but it's dekang i'm pretty sure)

YouTube - ‪Chinese E-liquid Manufacturing Facilities‬‏

I do not think any other US supplier can match that. Air-locked clean rooms, etc etc etc.

Are they the best TASTING? That's a debate. But I'm pretty sure no other juice manufacturer can match their facilities or experience in making e-juice.. this is why I trust DeKang juice more than most, don't get why a lot of people don't.

I wouldn't buy juice if I didn't know that their juices would be made in any gross or unprofessional mixing "stations". Just because juice was mixed in a lab does not mean that it's actually clean or okay to vape. Lots of food companies have giant labs, and yet I can't even read half of the ingredients, so shows how much "care" goes into a box and sold for us to consume. Great juice comes professional vendors by experienced vapers that care more about the quality of juice, than the profit in which their liquids will make.

I don't because I don't have a favorable opinion of Chinese manufacturing in general. The standards and QC just aren't there. I'll take USA made juice any day of the week.

Then again, I'm a nut who actively seeks out the Made in USA labels for everything I can. If anyone knows where I can purchase USA made batteries and attys, let me know :)

After seeing that video I am convinced that juice in china is produced in a clean environment. What I am more concerned about is that vat has Xmg is nicotine and was supposed to have Ymg of nicotine but was shipped anyway.

Or their QC says there are 65 ppm of diethylene glycol and the tolerance is 5 ppm but is shipped anyway.

There was a Chinese baby formula company that sold formula with NO nutritional value and killed a lot of babies.

I would say that as long as SOME of the juice vendors have been in business, if there were gonna be issues they would have reared their ugly little heads by now. I agree with Lev in asking "what makes a lab a lab" most of the manufacturers including the ones that tout a lab made juice don't have anywhere near what a REAL lab should be. And any schmoe out there can get a few pieces of equipment and use a room they call a lab. That does not in ANY way, shape, or form mean they are scientists or qualified to work in a true medical or pharmaceutical environ. I am a certified lab tech, not even that would qualify me to do anything other than turn a machine on and follow a scientists instructions.

I believe that all of the vendors I buy from are clean. They are established, and well documented in the community and no business stays alive with bad press, and medical issues from their product (barring the drug trade). I am sure that if you ask questions of the vendors themselves, they would be more than happy to tell you the conditions of the station used to manufacture a juice. As well most have no real issue telling you their ingredient list, most that I have dealt with have been VERY transparent, a thing I DO NOT get from our Chinese counterparts. Personally I am not going to put anything in my lungs that I cannot pronounce, and most if not all of the US makers seem to avoid the crap outa those for the same reason. Remember most of the best makers were vapers BEFORE they made juice for others. If you are curious ask them. If they refuse to tell you anything, don't buy it. If they are transparent and tell you all that they can ( again barring giving you the recipe ) you can be pretty sure they take making juice seriously and handle it professionally.

Just my 2 cents.

Dekang juice is made in a lab setting, but much of the chinese juice I've seen advertised online is not authentic Dekang. The word Dekang seems to have become a slang term for any chinese juice or cheap juice of questionable origin. Like other commentors have said, I'm not so much concerned about whether or not juice is made in a laboratory/clean room, as I am concerned about the purity of the PG/VG and other ingredients. Many deadly chinese products have come out of state-of-the art laboratory settings.
