As electronic cigarette technology gains further acceptance by medical experts as a logical alternative for smokers looking to maintain the habit of smoking but reduce the harmful effects of ingesting the 4000+ chemicals and carcinogens found in tobacco, the attention of regulators turns to the ingredients of the refills used by e-cig suppliers.

Not wanting to be a case of ‘out of the frying pan into the fire’, it should also be a concern for all e-cig vapers as the chemicals used in an electronic cigarette refill cartridge have the potential for serious harm. The main source of worry however is not the nicotine content but more the source and concentration of the propylene glycol used in the cartridges.

Propylene Glycol comes in two grades. Pahrmaceutical and industrial. Differentiated by concentration only, one is deemed to be safe and is used in a range of food products, the other more concentrated form is a very harmful toxin and is regurlarly used instead of its closely related chemical DEG in applications such as anti-freeze.Herein lies the dilemma. The only company that currently manufactures their e cig refills in a FDA registered lab is inLife LLC .

All other known suppliers have no regulatory method of independently verifying the ingredients in their product.With most of the product being manufactured in China, there is therefore concern that high competition in this growing market could cause manufacturers to cut costs and use the cheaper more toxic concentration of propylene glycol just as milk suppliers did a couple of years ago adding toxic supplement to their milk to cut costs.Hopefully, other suppliers will follow the example that inLife LLC have set and set a standard for self regulation of product quality. Only then will the industry start to gain favour and be able to deliver the huge benefits to public health that are widely becoming accepted.
