kingmoonie No, not really I thought it was a story worth running and I knew it would inevitably provide some debate in the community which is never a bad thing.
The bigger companies in the UK all test their products, why shouldn't larger brands in the US do the same thing?
Regarding NJOY, I believe they had the whole line lab tested prior to launch.
Guys, I'm in contact with the CEO of Vaporshark at the moment and probing him a little - if you have any questions for me to pass on, then please let me know below.
I totally agree with you, all companies should test their juices, having done this themselves they would know the results and have the opportunity to change their recipe, maybe some of them did test and had conflicting results to VS we do not know this. Without a set safe level and industry standard for testing it is all just hearsay.
I guess if juice manufactures don’t test themselves then it’s their fault if someone else does it for them.
My slight issue is the angle of the story which does not help the vaping community. In a time when there are so many forces working against vaping being broken up from the inside by one of the largest and most well-known companies is the anti-vaping merchants wet dream.
Out of the 74 juices I listed above, 38 contained no AP/DA, 10 contained AP only and 5 contained DA only. That’s over 50% of the juices listed passing with flying colours. I guess it’s a glass have full thing. What is there to gain from looking at this negatively?
I have no issue with premise of testing juice to see if it is safe for consumption.
I do have a couple of questions:
Did VS independently test the NJOY juices? If not why not? Surely having high profile juice that has already been tested would add a degree of certainty that their testing was accurate should similar results have been seen against NJOYs own tests. (a control if you will). For all we know they did test it and the results were totally different which means all of VS test results can’t be taken seriously.
Did VS inform the juice manufactures that they were releasing this information before publishing it?
What has been the feedback from manufactures with negative test results?
Will they do this with all further Juice lines they stock?
What if a juice manufacture contacts them to say they have amended their recipe, will they retest?
Thanks for taking the time to get some answers for us.
