Nicotine pouches – 8 things you need to know about them
Snus, despite being known for centuries in the Scandinavian countries, is gaining more and more popularity. What exactly is snus and how does it relate to the e-cigarette and e-liquid industry? You will find the answers to these and other questions regarding snus in the article below.
1. What is snus?
Traditional snus (brown snus) 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. The finished product contains about 50% water and should be kept in the fridge. There is also a version of it without cellulose packaging, which is called “loose snus”. Usually, snus is applied by placing between the lower or upper lip and the gum. As result nicotine from tobacco is absorbed into the body from the oral cavity. Moreover, the nicotine content in snus is higher than in a traditional cigarette.
2. Nicotine pouches (non-tobacco snus)
Nicotine pouches (white snus, or non-tobacco snus) derives from traditional, brown snus. The only difference between the two is the nicotine carrier. Tobacco snus contains tobacco leaves, while nicotine pouches are filled with cellulose. Powdered cellulose is soaked in a mixture of pure nicotine, aromas and pH-alignant (to make product pH more similar to the natural pH of the oral cavity). The mixture is additionally moistened with PG, however, the nicotine pouches are is a little dry. It means that the user may feel the nicotine effect and a taste a few seconds after placing a pouch behind a lip.

Informujemy, że CHEMNOVATIC Ławecki Gęca Sp. j., nie jest oraz nigdy nie był producentem następujących baz nikotynowych:
Alchemia Baza Bezsmakowa
Crazy Rabbit Baza Bezsmakowa
Jedynym elementem wspólnym była rejestracja w/w baz nikotynowych pod kontem TPD w Polsce poprzez naszą firmę. Wspomniana rejestracja została jednak już usunięta z powodu braku porozumienia co do warunków współpracy.
Reasumując, chcemy jeszcze raz zaznaczyć, że nie mamy nic wspólnego z powyższymi produktami i żadna ich partia nie została wyprodukowana przez firmę Chemnovatic.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. (more…)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 . (more…)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?
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 use of the 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. (more…)E-liquid bottles nozzle requirements.
If you are in the electronic cigarette industry you should have read the requirements for e-liquid refill containers laid out by the Decision. Article 2 “Requirements for the refill mechanisms” states that the electronic cigarette refill mechanism needs to conform with the following to be placed on the market: (more…)TPD compliant e-liquid packaging. Part 1.
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. (more…)
