Home brew & selling

[MrTeaTime]

I've just started mixing my own, and due to the high quality of one shots and recipes available on line, it's easy enough to make a very decent high quality juice. In fact, I've made 4 litres so far, which is quite happily steeping away at shedworx headquarters.....I have enough concentrates/VG/nicotine to make another 12 litres.....

However, these juices are for my own personal use, and to send to a few friends of mine who wanna get a little bit of mrteatime in them....they are not for sale....

However....there is a good few Facebook groups around that are aimed specifically at selling home made juice or 'homebrew'

Now, I like to think that I am reasonably clean when I mix....everything is boiled before use, and sterilised.....I control the environment as much as I can in my shed....but it's a shed....I make no pretence that it's anything other then a shed....however, it's for my own use and I'm cool with that.....would I sell my own? Not a fucking chance, and it kind of bothers me that in the first instance people think it's ok to sell on Facebook, and secondly, the people who buy it, who, let's face it are leaving themselves wide open to all sorts of nasty shit going in there juice....

And d'ya know what's even more worrying? There's at least one member on here that sells as well......

I have no problem with folk buying on the black market as long as the seller is honest about what they are selling, and are not passing off home brew as something else.
You pays your money and you takes your chance and if you go on to contract anthrax, that is the chance you took.

I have never bought or sold black market juice, but in the past have bought black market baccy and booze which involves the same sort of risks with regards to not knowing what you are buying and how it is produced.

I wouldn't buy someone's homebrew so I don't sell it however I do supply 2 friends and a leach of a brother free of charge [emoji12]

Agreed. Nice topic TeaTime.
Making safe juice doesn't require as much in the way of scrupulous sterility as some may imagine. Yes, top line manufacturers want and need to be held to a bullet-proof standard as anything else would be too risky for business, but for we mere mortals, perfectly safe juice making is easily achieved with no need for anything more than a nice clean space and clean equipment.
I feel very confident selling my juices to a few people, as I do, that those juices are safe. Primarily because I am vaping them myself.
I'm not trying to take sides at all here, just chatting.

I make them for free for my friends so they'd better not sue me if they find a rogue cat hair.

I think we've all had enough bad experiences with "start up vendors" to avoid facebrew but friend to friend sharing makes sense. If you financially need to find cheap juice then don't be snooty and look at one pound liquid and 88vape. You will find a juice you like and have the peace of mind knowing it's been made to the highest standards in a fully certified and inspected clean lab. And make no mistake many of your favourite American brands are produced by these guys under license.

The new TPD regs will be an absolute boon for the ' hooch' juice sellers.
As we are so used to buying juice in 30ml and 100ml bottles, supply and demand will dictate that anyone selling juice in larger packaging, illegal or not, will make juice making and selling very profitable.

Are you sure it's cat hair?
