- A Deceptive Cloud of Pleasure
For many vapers, the taste and aroma of e-liquid are everything. But behind the booming e-liquid trend, a new danger has emerged: counterfeit liquids. These counterfeit products are widely circulated due to their low prices and attractive packaging, yet their contents are often unclear and can be dangerous.
- What Is Counterfeit Liquid?
Counterfeit liquids are vape fluids manufactured without safety standards or official permits. They typically use cheap chemicals, non-food-grade dyes, or even dangerous mixtures such as ethylene glycol and unmeasured amounts of liquid nicotine.
The manufacturers’ goal is one: quick profits without regard for user safety.
3. Lurking Health Risks
Mixed liquids can cause:
Throat irritation and severe coughing
Dizziness, nausea, and even symptoms of nicotine poisoning
In extreme cases, acute lung damage (chemical pneumonitis)
Because there are no laboratory controls, nicotine levels can far exceed safe limits, even double those of legal liquids.
4. How to Recognize Mixed Liquids
Common characteristics of mixed liquids include:
Prices are much cheaper than official brands
No BPOM label, batch number, or clear composition
Strong odor and very dark color
Bottle caps are not sealed or leak easily
Sometimes they imitate the design of well-known brands, but with different details
If you notice these signs, don’t take the risk it’s better to buy from an authorized store.
5. Safe Steps for Buying Liquid
Choose a trusted brand that displays a Certificate of Analysis (COA).
Ensure the packaging is tightly sealed and includes manufacturer information.
Avoid buying from anonymous sellers online.
When in doubt, consult a community like the UV Community—where vapers share safe and reliable recommendations.
6. Conclusion: Safe Clouds, Not Dangerous Clouds
Vape is an art of taste and a lifestyle, but safety remains paramount.
Quality liquids provide a pleasurable experience, while adulterated ones only leave risks.
Let’s be smart vapers: choose legal, safe, and classy products.
