question about, made in USA juice

[Jae Lee]

we all know the ingredients are what matters.
despite the vendor's claim of made in USA, it'd seem likely to me that they would get the "ingredients" from somewhere else and mix it in "USA". how far fetched is that idea?

I had the same question a few days ago. some people said good vendors use the best ingredients. To me its your kinda taking the vendors word on it unless you watch them mix. There is a US fda approved lab i heard of that sells the ingredients. Im going to start mixing myself. Really its the only way to 100 percent.

I know for a fact that some do that. But that doesn't mean they are doing a diservice to the consumer. I know of one fairly high end juice provider that gets everything from the US and its all food grade blah blah. But their Nicotine comes from somewhere in a scandinavian country. The nic is supposed to be top shelf nicotine. Outside of the nic they purchase the rest from here and mix it themselves(US).

Are you positive a company wouldn't re-label the bottles of PG, VG, Nic., sweetner, etc.? If they might how can you be 100% sure?

Ok its the only wat to be 75 percent sure. If you buy from lab that makes it and they mislabel it as made in the us im sure there are some laws about misbranding.

Edit- replied to my own post. ...

There is no way I would know about anyone doing relabeling unless their site was up front with us. That is the company that I mentioned in my first reply. And although they are a little more expensive, I feel good that they are being honest with us, the customer. Take a look at my sig. and you'll know who I recommend and trust beyond a doubt. But there are many others that I completely trust as well. I just can't prove anything one way or another.

Hope that helps.

Unless a vendor specifically says, "Our nicotine is 100% U.S.A made " or something like that, then I personally would assume the nicotine comes from China. I've only found a few that specify all of their ingredients and where they are sourced from.

Depends on which vendor. Some do mix foreign sourced ingredients; some don't even mix it themselves but buy their juice second hand and relabel bottles; some make flavors in-house; some do a little bit of all of that. The best question to ask a vendor is not is the juice "US made," but are all the ingredients "US sourced?"
