1. How nicotine pouches are different from snus?
Traditional snus (brown snus, snuff) is a moist tobacco product popular in Scandinavia. It looks like tobacco wrapped in a cellulose bag, resembling a tiny bag of tea. Sometimes it is referred to as ‘snuff’. Traditional product is made of a mixture of dried tobacco leaves and salt, which is moistened with hot steam.

NicSalt Shots vs. NicShots – nicotine salt shot and freebase nicotine shot comparison
Nicotine salts (nicsalts for short) are getting more popular among vapers. Every day more people are trying to figure out if nic salts are any good for them. Should you use nicsalt shots or stick to the good old nic shots? Let us try and explain a few things regarding nicotine salts and compare nic salt shots to regular, freebase nicotine shots.
Why freebase nicotine may not be your best bet?
Vaping started as a way for people to quit smoking but came a long way since then. When we started vaping, the market was limited to basic tobacco, mint, and fruit e-liquids with nicotine strengths of up to 36mg/ml being vaped on leaking vape pens. […]

Nicotine shots – dealing with TPD regulations
Before the introduction of Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) many nicotine base manufacturers were looking for a solution to oncoming nicotine products regulations, even more vapers were in panic, frantically buying e-liquids and nicotine bases in bulk to fill their stashes before the ban comes into force.
Two main concerns were: online sales ban in many countries for all products containing nicotine and the limit put on nicotine strength (no more than 20mg/ml) and volume of nicotine liquids (not more than 10ml). What does that mean in practice? Whoever filled their cabinets with bases and liquids is vaping or DIY mixing e-liquids as we speak, others are stuck with what is available online (only nicotine free) and in their local stores (only up to 10ml and 20mg/ml). Well at least until recently […]
Nicbase VPG Optima-3 submitted to EU-CEG system
We are proud to announce that the first of Chemnovatic nicotine bases – the NicBase VPG Optima-3 in a 10ml PET dropper bottle has been successfully submitted to EU-CEG (EU Common Entry Gate) in strict accordance with the Tobacco Products Directive regulations.
For the time being it is a pre-stage submission as the target registration system has not been launched yet. For that reason, Chemnovatic is keeping a close eye on the regulations and the registration system implementation progress, as well as the implementation of the Tobacco Products Directive in various countries, as not all EU members have fulfilled the implementation process before the 20th May 2016. We are working on the whole range of Chemnovatic nicotine bases which are highly regarded and popular among the DIY vaping society to be available for purchase even after the […]
European TPD battle – the tides are turning
Recently, there has been quite a few reassuring news from the European TPD front. Does that mean there may be a future for vaping in Europe? The Polish government considers changing the upcoming regulations regarding the use of e-cigarettes in public, specifically lifting the proposed ban on vaping in public space.
“A change that could be introduced is limiting the restriction regarding the ban on e-cigarette use in public space. The ban on the use of e-cigarette was the initiative of the ministry. Such regulations are not forced by the EU directive” says dr Łukasz Balwicki from the Medical University of Gdańsk.
The directive in Poland in its current form would level e-cigarette users with traditional cigarette smokers in regards to public space vaping / smoking, which may cause teenagers to move to traditional cigarette smoking instead.
We […]
E-liquid bottles nozzle requirements
The Commission Implementing Decision 2016/586 of 14 April 2016 requires the e-liquid refill nozzle to be at least 9mm long. Have you measured yours? If you are in the electronic cigarette industry you should have read the requirements for e-liquid refill containers laid out by the Decision.

With the new Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) on the way, there is much confusion among the e-liquid manufacturers: “What do I need to do to be TPD compliant?”, “How do I label and package my e-liquids according to TPD?” or “Is my e-liquid packaging good enough for TPD?” and similar questions being raised every day. At CHEMNOVATIC we got the requirements for “TPD ready” e-liquid packaging worked out and can proudly say that our customers’ products are all meeting TPD requirements. The following article is a boiled- down version of TPD guidelines with a touch of our experience – TPD done our way.
Remember: The following regulations are the general guidelines introduced by the EU. Member states have the right to introduce their own, stricter regulations- please make sure to acquaint yourself with the regulations appropriate for your country.
