As most of you know, Pillbox sent his juice to a lab in order to assure us that his juice is safe. For me at least that's the main reason for paying the extra $ comparing to other alternatives. But can we really be sure that the lab test applies to all flavours and strengths? We all know the methanol issue with the menthol flavour, can't it happen with other flavours as well? Does anybody know which exact flavour and strength was tested? I might limit myself only to that kind.
Wicked lab test - can we trust all of his juices?

Whats this about methanol in the menthol? Thats my favourite flavour!! I better do a seach on that me thinks!
Proper testing would mean ongoing quality control tests on every variety. Each batch would have to be tested. I don't think a small supplier could possibly do this, it would have to be done by the manufacturer.
Pillbox should be applauded for at least having a test done, few others have done this and few are willing to discuss it.
I'm as happy as I can be buying from Pillbox, he made an effort, better than the others.
We really need juice to be made in a properly regulated factory with proper QC testing.

I don't know the exact details, but Pillbox found out that the menthol flavour had Methanol in it, and quickly fixed the problem. There shouldn't be any problem with it anymore.
Sample testing should be enough. The manufacturers know it's going on and are less likely to use dodgy ingredients.
I think it is very important to note that we only know methanol was found in a batch because pillbox not only gets his liquid tested, but he releases the information about the results, good bad and the ugly.
The bottom line is where would you rather get your liquid from, somewhere that has procedures in place to spot and pull contamination, or somewhere that no testing is done at all so we can continue in bliss while remaining ignorant?
There is a secondary point also, and that is that pillbox's supplier is also aware now that he performs independent tests on his liquid and as such, will provide some kind of impetus to the manufacturer to ensure this doesn't happen again.
It is scary, not only not knowing, but sometimes knowing what in the liquids, however pillbox needs recognition as being a solid retailer and one that is heading the right way.
Our best hope is that the other retailers take a leaf out of pillbox's book, not just regards testing, but disclosure.
As it is, and as far as I am aware with who does what testing and how accessible these results are, pillbox's totally wicked liquid is the only one I will buy now.
I started e smoking to reduce the risk of further health complications and illnesses, not exacerbate existing ones and introduce new ones.
