@MrTeaTime I think the guys that do it right will quite happily post on here. Those that don't.... Well i can see the tumble weeds now haha

Those who don't respond may condemn themselves ... (unless they're away on hols, or in south of France, mustn't be hasty)

Tom I swear blind my keyboard is attached to your frigging PC

I was literally typing the exact same thing!



I'm sure i posted this a while back but may have been on the vendors bit, or may have been a PM, anyhoos...

I am lucky enough to have access to my old dears facility which to all intents and purposes is a small industrial kitchen
Having worked as a chef for many moons i apply the same ethos, workstation, storage and myself clean before and after
Extraction and a sealed room would be ace, but i am happy enough to say that's not what we have at PFVapes, we do however have an autoclave for cleaning of glasswear

It is all stainless steel and is suitable for food / ointments manufacture... Oh yes... the irony


My dearest mother is among other things a Dr of Biomedical science and fancies herself a cast member of "the good life"

She had a fab little organic balms / creams / lotions / essential oils business until the EU priced her out to the tune of £30k...sound familiar? and puff there goes the cottage industry.

So now its used to make juice... for the time being

*Edit*

ill get you monkeys a pic of the mixing and bottling facility when Im up there next ( only go once a week ) - in the mean time you can see the storage i use which is a dedicated fridge set to 2 degrees as for some reason i already have a pic of this floating about - why a fridge? well... i like to "stall the steep" as it keeps the juice consistent

Appreciate the honesty @puffinclouds & @South Coast Vaper. I'm sure a lot of juice providers would love the resources to have a full blown cleanroom, I'm happy with good food hygiene standards whilst you build your businesses.
Tbh, I've not even thought of questioning either of your cleanliness standards. I get where the op is coming from and I rarely buy juice now and never from some bloke on a stall.

Sad thing is, these are the guys who are going to thrive in the future.

I know and it's a scary thought.......

For a good example look at Vampire Vapes. Not over priced either.

A thread like this goes a long way to raise awareness, unlike the daft Regs in place which will never get enforced anyway!
