Electronic cigarettes are changing lives every day and with their growing popularity, it becomes a necessity to ensure that the consumables are produced in an environment that is both safe and accurate for the consumer. We are thrilled to participate in AEMSA for many reasons but perhaps the most important reason is to provide the consumer with the highest level of quality and safety in the products they are using. If we strive to protect our consumers, we can only hope for the continued growth of our community through the regulatory stages ahead of us. Simply put, we feel that being part of AEMSA is the one true way to promote a certain piece of mind that should have been in place since day one!Brett Coppolo, Texas Select Vapor
I joined the founding team of AEMSA because I believe in electronic cigarettes and want to see the (our) industry thrive under the umbrella of responsibility and safety. AEMSA doesn’t stand for empty words on paper- we represent a meaningful collection of standards, backed and used in practice by top manufacturers, to protect the interests of merchants and vapers alike. Cleanliness and safety are paramount and we will endlessly strive to ensure that all domestic e-Liquid products reach the consumer in a manner that is consistent with the associated guidelines. AEMSA is something I am quite proud to be a part of and I tip my hat to those that have given so much to bring it this far.Adam Knudsen, NicQuid / VaporCast

I strongly believe AEMSA is the most timely, positive, constructive and proactive way to create a voice where no other opportunities to be heard exist. As an unregulated environment, we can all wait to see what happens or some manufacturers can show, by example, what we all already know must be done. Consumers need professional and responsible standards. We can watch disinformation, and fear from ignorance, continue to disseminate or we can co-create a structure to educate, inform and facilitate. AEMSA’s juice manufacturing members are opening the doors. I hope to see many more join AESMA and make a stronger statement to create professional, reasonable and sustainable regulation. I feel honored to be associated with all the people involved in this effort and proud of what we have created. AEMSA members, both charter members and those who will join and participate, all deserve our support, respect and appreciation.Lou Ritter, AEMSA President Emeritus
I was asked recently to support and be a part of AEMSA. I have been humbled to see a group of consumers and manufactures come together to provide a framework designed to ensure a safe product. I am excited to see and be a part of an organization dedicated to consolidating good manufacturing processes to protect this great thing we have found.Rich Henning, NicVape
This technology has considerable Tobacco Harm Reduction (and risk reducing) potential for millions of smokers all around the world. Yet, while customer demands for more advanced electronics in devices seem to be answered every day, consumer demands for high quality control standards and transparency in the manufacturing of e-liquids have been largely ignored. This has forced many in the vaping community to try their hand at becoming reluctant chemists in order to have more confidence about the e-liquid products they consume. It has also opened us up to attacks by government and media. No more. As a professional chemist and avid vaper, I am proud and humbled to be working with the brave charter member manufacturers and organizers of AEMSA. They represent what this industry can and should be: rigorous, meticulous professionals striving to meet scientific standards that have been needed for a long time, for the benefit of all involved. I strongly urge more manufacturers to join AEMSA. I believe this is the future of vaping, and this is how we will keep that future.Kurt Kistler, PhD aka Kurt on ECF AEMSA – Subject Matter Expert
