FYI:
"In mid year 2014 NicVape took a major financial hit by pulling 100% of its existing e-juice lineup. We had been told by our flavor concentrate suppliers that our raw material was diacetyl and acetyl propionyl free. They were wrong. Whether or not it was ignorance or willful deception is beside the point. Our supply chain was compromised. We found a new manufacturer for flavor concentrates, one that would agree under contract to leave out molecules considered undesirable. Determined to never again be deceived, we added additional testing to our internal quality assurance protocols. Flavor concentrate is tested upon arrival to our facility. Not willing to leave it at that the final e-juice product is also tested for diacetyl and acetyl propionyl. Every batch, every time. We don't ask anyone to just take us at our word. We post 100% of those test results online. They are accessible though NICTRACE on our website.
We didn't do this because we were told to. We did this because I, Richard Henning, owner of NicVape will never knowingly contribute to the harm of another human being because of greed or fear. Those that work for me feel the same way. I believe that is why they have continued to give everything they have to the success of this company even though our decision to change our e-juice line up IMMEDIATELY instead of at our convenience has caused great financial struggle for us. We have shown with our new lines that great tasting e-juice can be made without diacetyl and without acetyl propionyl. We have shown that a company can be transparent. We have shown that integrity is more important than security. We have shown stewardship.
I am not saying that I am the only e-juice manufacturer that feels this way. I am saying that as a consumer you should ask for them to prove what claims they make. I am saying that if they don't seem to be concerned about diacetyl and acetyl propionyl, you should be."
