Is E-cigarette Safe?

Nowadays, some attention is paid to e-cigarette, especially its taste and safety. Actually, e-cigarettes are detected in all aspects, including it raw material, additive and production techniques.

However, what should be detected in e-cigarette and what is the detection criterion?

It is known that e-cigarette doesn’t contain other harmful material of tobacco. Beside this, compared with tobacco, its most significant advantage is the controllability and selectivity. On the other hand, such an advantage also leads to another common problem. Content of nicotine is not easy to defined and even some e-cigarette contains nicotine more than tobacco. Therefore, detection to e-cigarette is vary necessary. It cannot only guarantee the product quality but also protect consumers.

However, no matter of producers or brands, they should give high priority to product safety.

Some e-liquid detection mainly includes:

The product safety of e-liquid depends on three sectors, raw material selection, e-liquid production and e-cigarette selling. Producers should be sensitive to the raw material type and content. In the second sector, machine manufacturer is responsible to e-liquid producing machine, such as e-liquid filling and sealing machine or blister packing machine for e-liquid. And producers also need to be careful in production to avoid contamination, generation of harmful materials, etc.. Last but not least, sellers of e-liquid should store the products in proper environment to prevent them from going bad.
