"At Apollo, we know the importance of operating within FDA guidelines and we are proud to say that we are already in compliance with many of the proposed regulations recently set forth," states Rick Zhu, CEO and founder for Apollo Future Technology, the maker of Apollo e-cigs and e-liquids. "We built our company in anticipation of these new proposed rules and will continue to adhere to all FDA regulations in the future."

In What Ways is Apollo Already FDA Compliant?

• Apollo's e-liquids already contain labels with a full ingredient list and appropriate health warnings.
• Apollo's e-liquid bottles already make use of childproof caps.
• All of Apollo's packaging clearly states 18+.
• Apollo's website already includes age verification to prevent sales to those underage.  If Apollo suspects that any order was made by a minor, the purchaser is required to send a copy of their photo ID before the order is processed.

Apollo's self-imposed high standards of operation not only give consumers peace of mind, but also give company leaders confidence in their readiness to adhere to the FDA's new guidelines for e-cigarette and e-liquid production. "To further ensure no internet sales to minors, we are already researching different shipping options that require proof of age upon delivery," states Zhu.

What Makes Apollo E-Liquids Different

• Apollo's USA liquids are made with food safe flavorings, U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention-grade PG and VG and laboratory grade nicotine.
• Apollo features an ideal PG/VG ratio for the ultimate vaping experience – smooth but with a strong throat hit for the best satisfaction.
• Apollo E-Cigs' facility adheres to the same manufacturing practices as the food manufacturing industry. This strict protocol and procedure is practiced throughout the entire manufacturing process, from recipe development to bottling, ensuring consistency of quality.
