LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Strict state regulations for e-liquid manufacturers that took effect in July may be causing customers to look elsewhere for their product.
The Lafayette Journal and Courier reports that the Indiana law requires e-liquids sold by state vendors to be produced at facilities that meet more stern security guidelines. So far, only one company, Lafayette-based Mulhaupt’s Inc., meets those Indiana mandates.
While the law hasn’t affected vape stores as anticipated, vendors say they are noticing other concerning trends in the vaping industry, including customers going to Illinois for e-liquid or making their own.
Vaping is a substitute to smoking in which users inhale vapor that’s generated from a battery-powered device. The vapor contains nicotine and flavoring, produced by e-liquid often known as “juice.”

More corrupt over reach by your government…Only one, privately held company, is approved to supply Vape liquid in Indiana? I wonder which Indiana politician owns that place or is related to the owner…Vape has the same amount of “bad things” as natural oxygen but the government wants tax dollars to be equal to cigarettes so they are doing everything they can to vilify Vaping and drive the prices up, up and up. America, land of the free (not) governed (not) ruled by corrupt self serving politicians-definitely!
