Tobacco flavored e-liquid challenge

Tobacco flavored e-liquid is an important part of the vape industry and one of the important considerations for consumers when purchasing vape products. With the development of the vape industry, the taste of tobacco flavor e-liquid has also been continuously improved and innovated. However, with the continuous implementation of regulatory policies, many previously unregulated additives have been blacklisted, which makes the additives for making e-liquid more limited, thus posing challenges to the development of tobacco flavored e-liquid.

In order to promote the development of tobacco-flavored e-liquid, relevant departments have formulated a white list of e-liquid additives. The latest version of the white list 101 has deleted 24 substances and added 3 substances, including two cooling agents and one sweetener. These changes make the modulation of tobacco flavored e-liquid more difficult, and also limit the development of flavored e-liquid.

However, even with the limited number of additives, tobacco flavored e-liquid still has a broad space for development. Some industry friends raised a question, whether it is possible to achieve a mixed taste through the compounding of additives, such as flavors such as mint tobacco. In fact, flavorists are already working hard to explore this area, with some positive results. Through the ingenious combination and deployment of existing additives, they have achieved some new taste effects, such as the cooling effect of certain flavors and the sweetness of certain flavors. This innovative approach can not only overcome the limitation of the number of additives, but also bring more innovative elements to tobacco flavored e-liquid.

Therefore, in the long run, the development direction of tobacco-flavored e-liquid may be supplemented by other flavorings, with tobacco flavor as the main tone. This development model can learn from the flavoring technology of the traditional tobacco industry, and ingeniously combine the taste of tobacco with other flavors to create a more complex and rich taste. This method can not only overcome the limitation of the number of additives, but also bring more choices and changes to tobacco flavor e-liquid.

In a word, the development of tobacco flavor e-liquid is faced with the implementation of regulatory policies, many previously unregulated additives have been blacklisted, while the international white list has been established, and many previously allowed additives have been cancelled. This makes it more difficult to manufacture flavored e-liquids, as the range of additives available today is limited. However, it is believed that the establishment of the e-liquid additive whitelist will have a positive impact on the development of e-liquid-liquid. In the future, the development direction of tobacco flavors should be based on tobacco flavors, supplemented by other flavors.

It should be noted that although the taste of tobacco e-liquid is difficult to change, it is still possible to use additives to create mixed flavors. For example, the combination of tobacco and mint flavors can create a unique taste experience. Additionally, the addition of cocoa extract, coffee extract, or rosemary oil can enhance the flavor of tobacco e-liquids while maintaining compliance with regulatory guidelines.

In terms of regulatory changes, the new national e-liquid standard deletes 24 substances allowed by the old standard. However, three new substances were added, including two cooling agents and a sweetener. These cooling agents, WS-23 and WS-3, are commonly used in e-liquids of electronic cigarettes to produce a mint flavor or a cooling sensation when inhaled. A previous study by Yooz's team also showed that WS-23 is safe to inhale.

Overall, the development of tobacco-flavored e-liquids is an ongoing process that must take into account changing regulatory requirements. While the range of available additives is now more limited, there is still ample opportunity to create unique and pleasant tobacco-flavored e-liquids through careful blending and use of compliant additives. As the industry continues to evolve, electronic e-liquid manufacturers must stay abreast of the latest regulatory changes and innovate in ways that meet consumer demands while remaining compliant with regulatory guidelines.
