Are there any companies in the USA that actually build their own E-Cigs? I see E-
juice is created here and that is good, but most of the actual E-Cigarette parts and machines seem to be imported from China and then labeled or assembled OEM here in the states.
Can any experts or suppliers help clear this up for me?
juice can and is made here. I only buy US juices. Hardware is a mix. atomizers and cartomizers and carts are at this point only from China, but there are people trying to change this here...that's goona take some time I think.
"Normal" ecig batts, like you get in starter kits, are only made in china. But there are a
lot of bigger battery mods, like the Chuck, the Bartleby (my fave), and many others that are built in the US. They use standard Li-cells for the powering of the atty, whereas the "normal" ecig batteries are custom made devices (with LEDs, power-buttons, atty threading) made in china.
Given the number of seizures of imported hardware shipments by the FDA, we all want to see attys made here, as this is the only missing link. But so far this is not the case, although time will possibly change this. Of course, investment is needed to scale up to productions comparable to China's big factories, and until it looks like ecigs will be allowed for the long term, no one seems to want to invest what is needed to do this here.
