| Description: | HPHC is FDA shorthand for harmful and potentially harmful constituents, and refers to substances in e-liquid that might pose health concerns. The cost of HPHC testing has been a major hurdle for small manufacturers—more than $20,000 per e-liquid at a typical lab using the standard testing method. That’s out of reach for most small businesses with dozens (or more) of flavors that will require testing. AVM’s new process makes HPHC testing affordable: The founders of the American Vapor Manufacturers Association (AVM) have created a much less expensive alternative HPHC testing method that costs just five to ten percent as much as standard testing. It’s a proprietary process, but is available to all AVM members. |
