nic - made in Canada?

[larktdl]

I am curious.
For all Canadian Suppliers who make / supply 'Canadian made juice' where does the liquid nicotine come from?
China or the States?

 

[zer0ith]

Supplies - a couple of them do, not very many though.
From where - Good question. Could be either or but my gut instincts tell me US

 

[larktdl]

Okay, so my next question is .... how are they getting the nic through customs. Obviously they are not ordering 1 or 2 bottles at a time.

 

[zer0ith]

Very carefully I assume

 

[larktdl]

For sure, very carefully.

So, to my next question. Assuming that the nic is not made in Canada and the company who makes the juice claims 'made with 100% Canadian ingredients' ,,, well you know where I am going with this (I do not want to stir up the pot).

Anyways, I don't care where the nic comes from. Just curious.

Really, they don't go through a ton of packages at Customs unless they have a reason to (generally). So, as long as the vendor uses an address and person's name and not a company name and address, and the supplier is doing the same and not filling out the Customs forms with "NICOTINE LIQUID OMGZZZ!" then I'd say 95% of it would get through anyways. I really think people take the whole Health Canada ban and their enforcement of it a little too seriously. IMHO.

Can you give an example? All the vendors I know of tend to say "100% North American ingredients"

 

[zer0ith]

I never really paid too much attention to that.

Either way I still trust my vendors

Its a conspiracy..I dont trust anyone

A product can be made in Canada with product from elsewhere

You weren't wearing your tin hat! They heard everything!!!

Wouldn't it be assembled in Canada?

 

[martinc]

Nah,I deal with a few product makers with goverment contracts,their products are labelled made in Canada but the parts are individually imported from everywhere..as long as canadian hands assemble them,it can be labeled as such.

Semantics really

I've heard that too - to be "Made in Canada" they only need to meet certain assembly requirements. It doesn't mean it is made of 100% Canadian materials and such.

But there's a distinction here, because vendors usually specify that they use North American ingredients as well as being Canadian made.

The tin hats are indeed assembled in Canada! There are, in fact, tin mines right in Canada - even though they don't make the type of money from Tin mines in Europe.

It's a good idea, grow and harvest tobacco leaves, extract nicotine in your black market lab, and resell pure or diluted in PG.
There you get 100% harvested canadian nic liquid. Wherever in North America it'd be coming from, someone has very good contacts with pharma companies, if it's not from the first scenario.

eehhhh... black market lab???

Now I wouldn't exactly call that a good idea.

Just like the tin hats - that tin is mined in properly controlled tin mines - where contaminates and horrible accidents won't occur.

Everyone should have a tin hat!

I had one supplier tell me tonight (who charges $25 a 30ml) that everyone has got to be careful with where they buy. He gave me the "you get what you pay for" but "hey it's your lungs"

 

[ChellyNelly]

Sounds like he's trying to get your business LOL

With everything that happened at the end of last year (mismarked supplies, serious strength errors at undiluted levels, etc) - I would echo what that supplier said. I think most serious vendors will.

...just sayin....

 

[ChellyNelly]

I only buy from trusted, well known and respected vendors, and they don't charge me $25/30ml. Nor would they talk to me in that way.

That's why I say it sounds like he is trying to get your business. He also sounds bitter that his prices are high. But hey, maybe I'm just getting the wrong vibe through text. Who knows?
