Will E-Cigarettes Be Regulated By The MHRA in the U.K.?

In a recently published article, the United Kingdom Medicines and Health Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has stated that henceforth e-cigarettes in the country will be controlled and regulated like medicines. This has been decided with a focus on improving the product, and also to maintain a standard in manufacturing and marketing that is approved by the authority.

In U.K. alone smoking causes more than 80,000 deaths every year. Once it becomes mandatory to acquire license from the regulatory authority for electronic cigarettes and other related products – they will be recognized as medicines, and will be sold over-the-counter only. This is not at all a very good development for e-cig manufacturing companies producing substandard products. Presently, e-cigarettes are self regulatory to meet the market standards, but once they come under the medical regulation, access to these products will be more restricted, and that seems quite unjustifiable for a number of manufacturers.

But from the user’s point of view this is certainly a good new, as they will no longer need to worry about the product quality they will be purchasing over the counter. Moreover, if you are under age, you will not get your hands on those products. These are certainly going to bring down the sales figures, but in a world that expects around 8 million deaths caused by tobacco consumption by the end of the year 2013, it is a necessary step forward.

Way back in 2011, the Food and Drug Administration in the U.S.A. announced categorizing of electronic cigarettes as tobacco products and bring them under their regulation. As per FDA, at present customers have no way knowing the safety standard of most of these products available in the market, or how much nicotine they will be inhaling by using such products. E-cigs, though can be a very good alternative to traditional tobacco consumption are currently not recommended by either the FDA or the MHRA simply because of the fact they are not regulated to maintain a certain standard.

MHRA considers complete cessation of smoking as a good alternative. But that can be pretty difficult for most regular and habitual smokers. Subsequently, getting the required amounts of nicotine from safer sources is without any doubt a healthier proposition. Until the regulation comes into action, consumers are advised to depend more on nicotine patches and gums to cut down on their daily nicotine consumption.

Both FDA and MHRA aim at bringing the e-cigarettes under their regulation and surveillance and once these devices are classified as therapeutic usage items, situation will be more under their control. Many manufacturers might not be happy with the announcement, but this is certainly a healthy step towards the future.

Insight Into E-cigarette Cartomizer

Are you wondering about the Cartomizers? Here is a complete introduction and functional guide for this product.


Cartomizers or the Cartos are nothing but steel tubes that are filled with the kind of poly fiber-filler that very much looks like that of a cigarette filter, these also have heating coils inside the filler substance which then heats the e-liquids into vapors. In the Cartomizer, a very small air tube is present in the very center of this filler which runs along its complete length and which directs all of the vapors into a type of dripping tip which is placed at the end of the Carto. This drip tip is nothing but a type of mouthpiece that the user uses to put his mouth on.

The single coiled Cartomizer has only one element used for heating, while the dual coiled Cartomizers are fitted with two elements that do the heating. These heating coils are designed to take an ohm rating, as well as a rating for the resistance, so that it can estimate the amount of heat required to turn the e-liquid into vapor and not set fire to it or make it too hot, that is boiling hot. One major drawback of using a Cartomizer is that you are unable to see the level of your juice. Cartomizers can now be used on their own to vaporize the liquid in it, or use it inside a Carto tank which lets a much larger volume of juice to be refilled so as the Cartomizer doesn’t need any further refilling for a long time.  However, since these tanks are clear, you can now see the amount of juice left in your tank. Cartomizers are what we call the modern day cigars or a version of the electronic cigars that are manufactured in the United States of America.

Cartomizers are nothing but a combination of the Cartridges and the Atomizers. This item has a different set of technique for its refilling and cleaning though. Normally, these tanks or the cartridges are not meant to refill, but you can refill if you wish instead of discarding them after the first use and so get a longer service out of them. However, refilling a cartridge is far difficult than refilling a regular cartridge. Plus, it is not at all necessary that you use the juice provided on the cartridge by default. You can change it if you need to and get the kind of juice you want inside. The cartridges need to be cleaned with more care and sensitivity since these can easily be broken.
