I am very concerned about inhaling products made in China. Our liquids are not yet regulated, so they could contain anything! Not only could liquids coming from other countries have toxins, but I'd like to keep the jobs in the USA as well.

That being said, I'd like to compose a list of companies that make liquid, cartridges, and/or mixing ingredients IN THE USA. I don't want suppliers here in the USA that simply import products. I want USA MANUFACTURERS ONLY. I have a feeling all the nicotine is coming from China, this is a very bad thing guys. Until I can grow my own tobacco and extract the nicotine, I'd like to buy USA made products. So bring it on, if you're a company please include your location, where the nicotine comes from, what's in your liquid, and maybe even a photo of your facility. Be smart!

1. ?USA MADE?
2. ?USA MANUFACTURED?
3. ?USA GROWN tobacco?
4. ?WHERE YOU AT?

Can't bite the hand that feeds ya....just saying. I am thankful every day that someone in China invented and patented these things. I use American made juice simply because I like it better. I also would prefer to keep the jobs here. That being said, I've ordered parts and kits from China and have had excellent, ethical treatment. There are unethical companies and businesses in America......hopefully not any in this business that are endorsed by this forum. We are living in global times....

LorAnn is American flavoring, as is Perfumer's Apprentice. I *think* Capella's is too.

I know that some suppliers do use US-made nic. We do make nic juice in this country - we use it for the patch and the gum.

As to which suppliers use a combination of ingredients, all of which are American-made, I don't know.

Who makes US-made carts? No one. Buy blanks and fill your own. Or if you're worried about the filler for whatever reason, buy your own polyfill and stuff them yourself.

But your atomizers are all Chinese. So are all the stock battery models, and most of the external batteries used in mods.

An e-cigarette without a hint of China doesn't exist, unless you want to build your own atomizer.

Also, I'm with JCnewbie. If you want to buy American, cool. I won't vape Chinese juice, either. But that's because there are known concerns with it. I didn't assume out the gate that it was bad.

But guess what? I can't recall of ever hearing of someone getting hurt from a Chinese-made stock battery failing violently.

But it happens all the time with American-made mods. And sometimes, the manufacturer is to blame.

So give these guys a little bit of credit. There are humans in China. The dude who invented e-cigs did so after watching a relative die of smoking-related illness.

i don't dislike any peoples.i think the issue with Chinese ingredients is that there isn't any regulation like in the USA. they put lead in kids toys and if you remember a while back there were plenty of people getting sick from drywall in there house that was made in china. i would really like to know if there is a 100% American made juice.

Personally, I will gladly puff anything made in France, or wherever. Ok, French are not known to make anything good... just saying... (Wine is a possible exception, but whether they make it or it grows is debatable).

Point being, people are in search of consistent quality.

While, like Donald Trump has recently advocated, I believe the concept of free trade is completely flawed on a grand scale, while the concept exists - choose the best.

On a side note, I was shocked that someone of worth finally came to my side on this issue. I have said that this concept was an extraordinarily bad idea for a lot of reasons for years. Trump can be an arrogant ... but he is correct on this issue, in my view.

I researched for days and could not find an american manufacturer of nicotine. There are distributors in the US that buy from china but no manufacturers I could find. This is not surprising since there are limits in the US on how much tobacco can be grown and therefore it all gets sold to cig companies. I would not be surprised if the patches, gum, ect. are made in China or use Chinese nicotine.

The kind of places that make it in the US are not the kind of places you can buy from. They're the kind of places you cut a really expensive deal with.

I am fairly sure nicotine does not have to be extracted from tobacco.

Nicotine is a chemical molecule, it doesn't matter if you extract it from a tobacco leaf or a potato it is the same molecule. PG is made from propylene which is provided by big oil as a byproduct of refining crude. That doesn't make it any worse in PG than any other source of propylene. Just like nicotine from a potato is not any better for you than nic from tobacco. Nic from a potato would just be way more expensive.

Well, until I find some seeds... I'll play with extraction on these tobacco logs. There's a nice shop I used to frequent here in Kansas. And it just so happens they sale organic tobacco logs! Not sure how much nicotine I'll get out of one of these bad boys, here's the link to buy them: Mapacho Logs. Nicotiana tobacum--Tobacco, : Bouncing Bear Botanicals

When my stepson was still very young, he looked on the back of a toy that said "made in China". He looked up and said "The whole world is made in China."

Out of the mouths of babes.

This is exactly why I said many years ago that the concept of free trade was complete foolishness. The policy should have been, and should be - balanced trade - not free trade.

I have no idea if their base products are USA made, but VaporBomb claims on their web-page that all their eLiquids are made in the USA. VaperBomb Website Just to be clear, I've never ordered from them, just stumbled on them whilst cruising for different juices. Thought I'd pass along
Peace-Terry

I emailed vaporbomb to see if they make the liquid with imported ingredients. There is a big dif between MADE and MANUFACTURED. Anyone can import stuff and assemble it here, but this is not what we want. We want grown, manufactured, and made in the USA. Why? Better quality, less toxins. Toxins not including nicotine, that is. :) I'll post their reply, I can only hope it is an honest one.
