Had to sign up for a forum to see if I am the only One. that has a problem with all these e-juice manufactures that are not taking the precautions when manufacturing and distributing their ejuice. I have a local company that mixes their ejuice in a warehouse with no clean room. I have notices customers and employees coughing and sneezing all around. I recently heard that foreign particles have been found in their juice. We should not be tolerating this at all. As an ex-smoker and dedicated vaper, I do care about what I am inhaling. Have noticed a lot of juice manufactures that are all about coping label designs such as gushers candy, sour batch and many others. Am I the only one to see a problem with this? I feel these companies are going to tarnish the vaping community. Any thoughts on this?

Welcome to the forum makingclouds. I've not heard of gushers or sour batch but you're entitled to buy (or not buy) from those of your choosing. There is also a very large DIY (do it yourself) section of the forum. Good luck in your vape journey.
Yes and thank you. I do understand and am glad to have the opportunity to have a choice. I am just curious to understand, since currently their are no higher powers regulating the manufacturing of ejuice, shouldn't we as the consumers of these products demand a higher standard? From what I see in this wild wild west of an industry anyone and everyone is mixing juice slapping a label that resembles a box of cereal or our childhood candy and selling. Should we not, as an American consumer, hold any company to a standard. Yes, in the end we all have a choice that is why we live in merica. Just wondering if I am the only one that feels this way and if I am posting this in the wrong place, I do apologize.
makingclouds you're not posting in the wrong place. ECF is very friendly to opinions. I choose NOT to have any opinion other than the one I posted because it almost seems as if you are asking for some type of federal regulations. I have yet to see much of anything the government has done right concerning vape. As a vaper I support the industry of vape, it got me off the cigs and drastically changed my life for the better.
While regulation might make some rules for the GMP stuff, It also comes with a price.
Regulation and the oversight of that takes money. The only way for the gubberment to make money is to tax.
Just dIY if your worried about the quality of your juice.IMO

So wait, they have a warehouse to mix their juices but let people just wander through it?
And "foreign particles have been found in their juice" Who did the analysis and what foreign particles!?!?

I too am against Federal Regulations.
I choose to DIY and purchase juice from companies who are members of AEMSA. There is no 100% guarantee that all the standards are being followed but it's better than nothing.

Yes, I agree, FDA regulations would be a slippery slope. But I would like to see some regulation for the juice manufacturing something similar to restaurants and food preparation. Foreign particles such as hair & concrete sediment. Yes people are just walking around and hanging out. Do we have any clue, if someone walks in with the flew, sneezes or coughs around the VG, will that bacteria infect the juice? I do know from my research that VG is a carrier where PG kills bacteria. With the cloud chasing community going with MAX VG or 80/20 blends you don't think that could be a problem. I am an avid 100% all in vape. I have more mods then I can count and do not want to see this go by the wayside because of people just in it for the money. Lets lookout for our Vape Fam.
Yes, hair and concrete sediment. I have seen and witnessed it.
The government will just screw it up like everything else they touch.
You can buy juices made in clean rooms now.
Or you can buy juice with boogers and dog hair.
Or you can make your own.
The way it is right this minute is how everything should be. Market forces control the market with out ......s from the government holding our little hands and saying everything will be ok.

Yep, this exactly. Also, voting with one's dollars is always effective. I choose not to support the 5000% markup of ejuice makers, and make my own, which is exactly to my specs on taste, PG/VG, nic, TH -- and price! My dollars are helping to support flavor makers who sell good flavors without diketones, or artificial colors.

Anything involved with our completely corrupt government, with a completely useless and corrupt FDA fully bought out by big Pharma, Big tobacco, and now joined in with the Freak anti-smoke crazies Who have a new issue to "protect" you from, any regulation from them is a two edge sword, with the wrong edge working on us. I would be willing to see some basic regulation on purity of liquids, if that was ALL they were doing. There is no way that's going to be all they will be doing. If the government gets their way you're going to be vaping nothing but useless worthless ciglikes and getting nothing out of them, and going back to cigarettes because that's what they want to protect their precious tax money. The government cares absolutely nothing about you in any way shape or form. It's all about the money, just the money, and only the money. Anybody who doesn't know that is naïve beyond all belief. It's too bad it has to be this way. But it is. Which is why I say everybody and I do mean EVERYBODY who is vaping to get off of Big tobaccos death dealing cigarettes has got to get into DIY to have a good supply of safe liquid before the government sticks it to you. And believe me they will, and worse than you could ever believe.
Yes! and buy ingredients PG, VG, and Nic only from American source labs or vendors who will guarantee Ingredient Purity on paper.
My PG and VG are "Nature's Oil", via Bulk Apothecary, via Amazon; I think my nic is UK sourced, thru VapersTek -- their TH nicotine is the cheapest I've found, for small sizes (120ml). A lot of my basic flavors are TPA/TFA, but I also use a lot of Inawera, who are Polish. I don't really care who it supports, as long as I can continue to vape as suits me, and a big ol "kiss this" to the gov't, BP, and BT.

A recent podcast on the exact same subjects for those interested
Thanks Novice. tucked it away for listening. This just keeps reinforcing my DIY DIY DIY
This form of trademark infringement is something that happens in a lot of industries, not just vaping . . . though of course that doesn't make it okay. Some of the bigger corporations are more able to actively monitor the unauthorized use of their trademarks and take action and it has been done many times (in many industries). That's why most juice vendors don't have Newport/Marlboro/Camel juices, they'll often be re-named to something that only suggests those brand names instead. The same can be seen in a lot of candy and cereal flavors from many juice and flavoring makers, too.
I have to say to make your own juice and then you know exactly what is in them.. It is not hard to do...
