Important Safety Information

 

Author: Alex Berry

 

Here at Cloudstix we pride ourselves in customer service and bringing our customers breaking news as it develops with regards vaping.

 

In recent reports, there have been tragic events in the USA that has wrongly linked deaths and health concerns to vaping. This week we’ve had a huge increase in the number of customers showing a concern about the safety of Vaping E Liquid and the products we sell in a direct response to the press  / social media posts regarding the incident in the USA. We hope to answer your questions and give you peace of mind via this important press release.

 

According to evidence and reports the victims that have suffered health issues or sadly died in the USA, have all been linked to a black market THC Vape cartridges. These cartridges are not legal or even a nicotine based vape that we sell or you vape.  THC is the active ingredient found in cannabis to deliver the sensation of being high. Vitamin E Acetate, according to reports, has been used to thicken this illegal product and it has been found at very high levels through the many cases reporting people having bad health issues or losing their lives. There has been no reported deaths or illnesses through nicotine vaping!

 

 

In the UK, TPD law came into effect in May 2016. All vape vendors / manufacturers must follow guidelines and submit data to the MHRA before we are able to sell the products that we do.  E-Liquid that contains Nicotine must be stripped down and all information related to ingredients and toxology is sent to the government to declare it safe before it can appear in the UK market. This whole statement of “Nobody knows what’s in it” is false and a thing of the past. All the brands / products that have been submitted to the MHRA are available to the public so you can check this out. (link supplied in footer notes)

 

What we would like to remind you of is how many confirmed deaths there have been from regular smoking related illnesses.

 

The CDC (Centres for Disease Control and Prevention) reported last year that 480,000 people passed away as a result of smoking traditional cigarettes. That’s nearly half a million people.

 

In the same instance the reported number of deaths related to vaping legal Nicotine E Liquid stands at ZERO.

 

Published on 19th August 2015, Public Health England released an article through gov.uk about how e-cigarettes are 95% less harmful than tobacco. Following the sad events in the USA, Public Heath England have underlined their message that vaping, safe, legal E Liquid purchased from a reputable Vendor is 95% less harmful than traditional smoking.

 

We shall post a number of links below which shall allow you to read the reports / evidence and ultimately make your own minds up on what / who / why mainstream media are so quick to condemn vaping. We hope we have answered the most pressing questions you have about the reports in the USA and that you feel more at ease enjoying your vape this weekend.

 

If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to pop into store and talk to us.

Alternatively, feel free to message us through our Facebook page or email, call our head office.

 

Stay safe and happy vaping.

The Pros of Vaping

Tobacco smoking is a leading cause of death worldwide. It can also reduce fertility and is known to cause serious health problems, such as emphysema, chronic bronchitis, type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease. Kicking the habit is easier said than done – so what if there was a healthier alternative?

Can you take a vape in hand luggage? Holiday vaping and E-Liquid rules explained

Hanging out by the pool, soaking up the sun and enjoying a chilled-out vape may be your idea of holiday heaven, but exactly how easy is it to achieve this dream? Many people are unsure of the regulations related to e-cigarettes, vapes and e-liquid on planes and other modes of transport – or even if you’ll be allowed to vape when you reach your destination.

Luckily, the experts at Cloudstix can tell you all you need to know about holiday vaping and the transporting of e juice. Read on to find out what’s allowed and what isn’t!

Hints and tips for new vapers

So, you’ve switched to vaping? In that case, you’ve come to the right place. Vaping is a healthier alternative to smoking. Because of this, e-cigarette suppliers – such as ourselves at Cloudstix – are constantly encountering first-time vapers, who want information about how to use their new e-cigs.

Most people will assume that vaping is pretty much the same as smoking –  but it isn’t. Vaping involves the use of technology and offers a range of options in terms of e-cig juice, e-cig starter kits and e-cig mods. Here we have compiled a number of hints and tips to get the new vaper started.

The Safety of E Cigs

Are you aware of how much an e cigarette benefits you over a traditional cigarette? The biggest problem with regular cigarettes is the amount of tobacco used amongst other toxins. As e cigs only contain a small degree of the chemicals used in normal smoking, you can keep yourself and those around you healthier for longer, even being able to quit the habit altogether eventually.

Below are the various reasons why you should put out your cigarette and use an e-cig instead.

E Liquids for Gin lovers

Gin e liquids have taken the industry by storm – but why is this?

When vodka bores and whisky dulls, you’re sure to find yourself reaching for the gin. The same goes for e liquids. If you’re looking for a new e liquid, a  Gin Vape can enhance your experience and provide you with the same flavours you’d expect to find at your local gin bar.
