What would become the first commercially successful electronic cigarette is created in Beijing, China by Hon Lik, a 52 year old pharmacist, inventor and smoker. He reportedly created the device after his father, also a heavy smoker, dies of lung cancer.

Electronic cigarettes introduced to Europe.
Aug 2006

Sept 2008
The World Health Organization (WHO) proclaims that it does not consider the electronic cigarette to be a legitimate smoking cessation aid and demands that marketers immediately remove from their materials any suggestions that the WHO considers electronic cigarettes safe and effective.

In a study funded by Ruyan, Health New Zealand conducts a detailed quantitative analysis and concludes that carcinogens and toxicants are present only below harmful levels. On the basis of the findings, the e-cigarette is rated several orders of magnitude (100 to 1000 times) less dangerous than smoking tobacco cigarettes. The nicotine dose is comparable to that of a medicinal nicotine inhaler. Overall, the product tested was deemed a āsafe alternative to smoking.ā
Jan 2009
Australia bans the possession and sale of electronic cigarettes which contain nicotine, citing that āevery form of nicotine except for replacement therapies and cigarettes are classified as a form of poison.ā
ā¦etcā¦ (CASA)
I remember about the whole (recent) rebrand to VapElf with themā¦ But wasnāt there discussion a few years ago about the possibility of HC just being rebranded Xāian Taime at some point?
(I forget the outcome, but I remember it being mentioned here at some point.)

Letās not forget Dekang, a role in the industryā¦ and quite oldā¦
Please donāt take this the wrong way Frank, but I canāt even think of a vendor that sells DeKangā¦much less seen them mentioned in the forum in forever.
I donāt recall ever seeing them in a recipeā¦
(Though thatās moot I guess, since thereās always the rare exception.)
Maybe itās an EU thing?
Good grief Rob, youāre a friend, and quite a few years we read each other, why should I take you wrong! No way!
I was just thinking about āhistoryā Trivia style, which would be the oldest?
I thought, probably LA CCW and companies like that, then I thought about about the trio, Ruyan Dekang Hangsen, but Ruyan (dragonite) didnāt make flavours, Dekang and Hangsen did and thought about the RY4 mess, Ludo Timmermanns making it in a Dekang Lab for Ruyan, coz Ruyan didnāt make flavours.
Just thinking aloudā¦ exploiting a Trivia style questionā¦ I love these thingsā¦ guess this:
Glad to hear!
Sorry for worrying about it, but I guess after one too many times of someone taking something the wrong way, Iāve begun to lean towards avoiding a misunderstanding before it happens.
Gotcha! I thought about that too for a brief moment, but I decided not to go down that route, since I assumed the intent was vaping related (could be a wrong assumption on my part lol).
Thereās a TON of older, more established companies (Wilson, Watkins, Mother Murphys, etc) but none of them are āestablished vaping suppliersā (loosely speaking), so I skipped them.
Since youāre going down that train of thought thoughā¦ grins
Any idea how long the āTino DāMilanoā setup has been in existence? I know they work with Inawera, but were they an offshoot created by working with them? Or did they exist separately before the collaboration efforts?
Hrrmmm
Things that creep through the dark matter at nightā¦ (inquiring minds, and all that rot lol)
Youāre like me, but I knew thatā¦ and here our vapefiction inquiring minds start running:
As far as I knew it was a collaboration with FA, but it broke around 2018 if I remember correctly, when some (most) of the flavours were reformulated (strange for INW innit?) no spin offs.
Roger that, alive and kicking, isnāt MM still making a dedicated line for FLV? and makes some of the TPAās OS? Making flavours since 1946ā¦ beat that!
/chuckles and grinsā¦
Only two problems with that BrotherBob.
- Itās run by Hoosiers. Who wants to be subjected to that?
Steeerike one.
- Itās all finished e-liquid. No flavors!
Steeerike two!
Kidding aside, I really do wish we had reasonable access to some of the more esoteric (to us) flavor companies that are in, say: Malaysia, Brazil, etc.
Though honestly, thatās a bit Utopian.
Weāve got access to so much more than so many do, that we should remain thankful for what we still have. (Reminding myself here)
care to elaborate? Iāve seen RY4 in flavors and recipes, but have no idea what it is.
That confuses me.
I mean, it would make sense (TDM working with FA; by geographics alone)ā¦
Personally, I always wondered if the shift at Inawera was partially attributed to the change in āfamily dynamicsā with Marcela(?) and hubby leaving and forming Sobucky (and their subsequent offerings).
Iām sure theyāve made runs for practically everyone and their brother (in almost every industry) at one point or another.
Hell, if āthe mouthpieceā was still here, Iām sure sheād say they even offered to make a line for God himself, but they were only a couple millenia behind actually being able to.
