When Should E-Liquid Manufacturers Install Cleanrooms?

Vape juice and e-cigarette manufacturers should not wait to set up their clean rooms. If manufacturers wait for proposed FDA regulations to become law, they will find themselves rushing to put all of the necessary e-liquid quality control systems in place. Waiting until the last minute could force manufacturers to pay more for a quality control cleanroom system that is less than ideal. By choosing to be proactive now, e-liquid manufacturers give themselves time to research the best options for their clean room needs. That way, when the e-liquid regulations do become law and FDA regulators visit their facilities, e-cigarette manufacturers will be ready with their approved cleanrooms.

What Does the Future Look Like for E-Liquid Manufacturers?

E-cigarettes have been around longer than most people realize. In fact, the first smokeless cigarette dates back to 1963. Because smoking was fashionable and permitted in most spaces in the 60s, there was no demand for a smokeless cigarette. But as the decades wore on, objections to smoking indoors and second hand smoke grew. Many cities passed laws banning smoking in restaurants, bars and other public facilities. Today, smokers in most cities must step outside if they want to light up.

40 years after the 1963 prototype was created, Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik patented the first e-cigarette. E-cigarettes, which allow smokers to inhale nicotine through an aerosol rather than smoke, offer smokers the ability to satisfy their nicotine cravings without producing smoke that irritates others. Additionally, because there were no laws stating that smokers could not use e-cigarettes, or “vape”, indoors, smokers were once again able to get their fix without leaving the party.

As a result, e-cigarettes and vaping have exploded in popularity. Lawmakers are scrambling to catch up. Just as no law prohibited the use of e-cigarettes indoors, there are currently no laws regulating the production of the liquids used in e-cigarettes (“vape juice”, “e-juice”, “e-liquid”). However, the Food and Drug Administration has proposed regulations that will impact manufacturers of e-liquids.

FDA Scrutiny of E-Liquids Manufacturers

FDA Researchers discovered “instances of poor quality control and significant variability in nicotine content when testing certain e-cigarette cartridges.”

The comment period for the proposed FDA rule closed on July 9th, 2014. The proposed rule states that the regulations will go into effect 24 months after the publication dates of the final rule. We do not yet know when the final rule will be published, but two years is not a lot of time. Getting up to speed with regulations can take time – and getting up to speed after regulations are in place can be extremely costly.

With the levels of federal scrutiny constantly increasing, it is essential for e-liquid and e-cigarette manufacturers to take a hard look at their manufacturing processes, and put necessary quality control systems in place. Modular cleanrooms are a key element of quality control.
