[ad_1] Tue 8 Dec 2020 Vaping is pretty new. Not necessarily new-new but new enough that many bets are still out about its place in society and where it’ll be in 10 years time. However, like any other product that is inhaled, or more broadly “consumed”, regulation is required to ensure public health. So what’s the governing body involved? The TPD or Tobacco Products Directive was established by the EU in 2014 and still applies to the UK market via the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency).

Walk into any high street vape shop and you’ll find an array of brightly coloured USB looking sticks covered in the obligatory nicotine warning. Disposable e cigarettes are a simple (and not at all new) concept – it’s a small device that contains a battery and around 2ml of e liquid. The user simply draws on the mouth piece to vape. There’s no denying that disposables are a convenient way for smokers to try vaping, but we don’t think that they’re a viable, or sensible, way to vape in the long term. Here’s […]

E-Liquid Ingredients First of all, how many e-liquid ingredients are there? Well, there are approximately 4 ingredients in your typical juice. Propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerine (VG) […]

[ad_1] E-liquid is ‘shelf stable’, meaning it takes a long time to expire. A finished e-liquid product is usually good for around 2 years before it reaches a point where it should not be vaped. So when you drag out that bottle of Scones that you put in the cupboard to steep and forgot about a few years back, you should think twice before cracking it open. Propylene Glycol (one of the main ingredients in e-liquid) is commonly used in food production as a preservative, naturally preventing degradation over time. Similarly, Vegetable Glycerine also has qualities that lends itself to a long shelf life. Whilst these ingredients have a long […]
