Vaping has made its mark on South Africa. There are so many different options ranging from liquids to hardware to choose from. Ensuring that the liquids you’re buying are being produced at regulated laboratories, is definitely a start.
Many counterfeit vaping products are entering the market, taking a toll on the authentic brands making these products. Juices are now being replicated and sold at half the price and no one is any wiser as to what they actually contain. Confirming that your e-liquid is produced at an ISO accredited laboratory will guarantee its regulation and certification. Bigger brands such as Smok and Vaporesso are having their hardware counterfeited, so it is vital to know whether a device is authentic and original.
Bigger juice and hardware brands, such as Smok and Nasty Juice are now placing barcodes on their packaging to authenticate the bottle of juice, mod or starter kit. It can be difficult to differentiate between authentic and fake or even choosing between a premium or a more budget friendly option. The onus is on you to go the extra mile and research the products. Look into what you’re purchasing and understand what is best suited to you.
