hoping someone can educate me here or ease my concerns...

In the beginning I was a real stick in the mud for buying eliquids that were 100% made in the US... (not bashing imports or other countries... just trying to play it safe so it was my preference at the time) But I really started thinking about it - wondering if I was being too uptight about it unnecessarily. I mean we had that big peanut butter recall, produce recalls... I was thinking maybe I was being unfair and tried some eliquids from places I know get their stuff (or at least a portion of it) from China. I have to say there are a few flavors I have fallen in love with now where on the other hand the STRICTLY "made in the US" places I've dealt with so far are good- but seem to carry more "basic" flavors.

But recently I've been reading more and more threads about atomizers from China- how it seems to be a "hit or miss" in their production.. Seems like some just turn out not too great... Now I'm wondering if that's the case with atomizers, how do we know that's not the case with the eliquids, but just aren't aware of it yet?

Now like I said I'm not BASHING anything - matter of fact I would be thrilled if someone could help me bury this little thought so I can keep enjoying some of my newly found favorites worry-free! I figured it would be best for to ask because I know MANY of you would know more or have better insight on this than I may..

I buy American made as much as I can on whatever I can, even if sometimes it means a mark up.
I buy US and not because of bad products from China (because as far as I know a lot of what is sold by US companys come from China to began with) I buy US because I want my $$ stay in the US as much as possible.
I started with juices made in China that US companies carried and have switched to more US made juices.
I say Do whatever you want, if you have found juices that work for you that is the most important thing, that is the thing that will make this a sucess for you.

And if you think Made in the US juices are boring, take a look at Tasty Vapors, any thing BUT boring

And the prices are great!!

Good luck and Happy vaping (no matter where ya get your juice from)

I could be wrong but I thought all attys were made in China? Is someone now making attys in the US?

As for liquids I have found both the US and China companies to be hit and miss but I think it's really more of my taste buds than quality. Plus some of the flavors I didn't like at first have now grown on me.

Yup - to my knowledge all the attys are made in China too. I was referring to the liquids.

Thanks guys... I probably am just worrying too much! Tends to be my nature I guess- but I figured better to ask than sit here wondering!

Vapor4Life carries juice that is made in China but they have a member of their team (Leaford) over there supervising production if that helps at all.

They've been having problems getting the larger bottles of juice but they have a lot of 5ml bottles for $2.95 ( - 10% OFF with coupon code SMILIN) so that's cheap enough that you can taste out a few flavors for not much $$$

If you really want to be on top of your quality, start researching DIY.

You can get the VG off the shelf in Walmart's pharmacy isle. Any druggist can order you a gallon of pg for $20.00, even less at farm or trator supply stores.

Flavors from Loranns are great. And the added hobby of mixing your own can provide a lot of fun. Plus increase your savings over buying juice from folks you don't know or trust.

As far as all the talk of age. Mature women are like fine wine they only build character, flavor and exitement with age.

Funny you mention them - they're where I got the eliquids from that I've been drooling over so much! Actually that is comforting that they have a staff member over there to supervise production... Actually really good to know because that sure says a lot for a company to go through all that!
