I simply cannot believe you guys missed this. Box Elder is not mislabelling their product, nor are they likely to tell you why they named it that. It seems to be the source of their nicotine....CHINA! from a google search, I gleaned this little phrase " See All items from Levonic Industry (Shen Zhen) Ltd." and took it from there.
I have schooled myself in the proper (and safe) handling of chemicals over the years (I have worked in 2 different manufacturing pants, and handled chemicals), and I enjoy being able to DIY my juices (much the same as I enjoy baking bread sometimes, but I buy a lot of bread too). With the Canadian Government being such idiots, I was afraid that I would have to just go back to smoking.
Maybe people would feel better if there was a course that you could take in order to get a certificate that would allow you to order the materials to DIY. The the damn government could charge you $500 for the course and $50 for the certificate.
Us DIY'ers are usually pretty amateur, some of us enjoy the craft aspect of it, but none of us are a threat to the Canadian Suppliers, because the average Joe, even if he vapes 100% DIY, has to buy his flavorings and bottles and whatnot somewhere. If the price of Nic Juice goes down , the money will be earned by the suppliers that see the market for what it is and branch out to sell custom flavorings and bottles and pipettes (which would actually be OK in the current legal situation here in Canada)
This is a slippery slope for the suppliers here in Canada to go down. If they get it so that regulation of Nic Juice is in place, they are not guaranteed that they will qualify as suppliers under the new regulations, and maybe the only companies that will have the resources to qualify under exceedingly stringent regulation are Big Tobacco or Big Pharma.
