Here's my answer to the ridiculous 10ml bottle size limit for eliquids containing nicotine. Please will all eliquid manufacturers adopt it immediately so I can continue to buy my eliquids in 30ml, 60ml and 120ml glass bottles? Thanks!
First, you manufacture all your eliquids with 0% nicotine, but at a slightly stronger concentrations than you do currently, increasing in concentration as bottle size increases. This would allow for the addition of a nicotine base by the consumer, without the resulting eLiquid being too weak. You produce these 0% flavour bases in 30ml, 60ml and 120ml glass bottles.
Second, you create a series of nicotine base shots at the correct concentrations, that when combined with the flavour base by the consumer, result in an eliquid of either 3%, 6%, 9%, 12% nicotine strength.
The consumer would need to add 1 nicotine shot to a 30ml bottle, 2 shots to a 60ml bottle and 4 shots to a 120ml bottle to produce their nicotine-containing eliquid. So the flavour bases would need to be created at the correct concentrations to allow for this.
This allows consumers to continue to buy our eliquids in larger glass bottles, and smaller manufacturers to continue producing eliquids without the need for expensive testing (because at the point of sale they contain no nicotine and so fall outside of the TPD).
It's so bloody simple I don't know why everyone isn't doing it already!!!
