Eve eLiquids – The Exciting Interview in 2014

To accompany the first review for Eve eLiquids we present a delightful interview with the company spokesman.

SPINFUEL: Welcome to the pages of Spinfuel. We’re excited to talk to you today. Would you like to introduce yourselves to our readers?

EVE: We’re excited to be here! Where do we begin? We are an e-liquid supplier dedicated to sharing quality e-liquids with people just like you. Stay around for the whole interview to find out more!

SPINFUEL: Would you say that EVE is a large manufacturer of eliquids, or is the company smaller, more intimate? Tell us about your reach, is it global or is it primarily a US company?

EVE: Even though we are a large manufacturer of e-liquids, we don’t forget about the most important people to us. Our personalized customer service is that of a smaller, more intimate company. Feel free to reach out to us- tell us about your day, your dog, or what you had for lunch. We’ll tell you about ours! We’re here for you *grin*.

SPINFUEL: Is EVE E-Liquids available in retail vape shops? How many, and are they US-only shops or more global?

EVE: Our premium products and OEM are in both domestic and global markets including various stores all across the nation. Chances are you’ve already tasted EVE. And of course it should go without saying that we are always interested in getting onto more shelves. The sky is the limit!

SPINFUEL: Let’s get this question out of the way; why EVE eLiquids & Oils? What are the oils all about? When we went through your online store we didn’t see a category for “oils”. Is this a different product all together or simply part of the name?

EVE: ‘Oils’ was originally another word for ‘e-liquids’, but we realized it was redundant and unnecessary! Thus, we dropped it. We are now simply: EVE E-Liquids

SPINFUEL: Oh, I see, that makes sense. Who or what inspired EVE to get into the e-juice business? When did EVE launch?

EVE: EVE was incepted just earlier this year (2014). The foundation for it all was to produce a premium quality product that is consistent, with each bottle of e-juice that is juice as delicious as the last. You’ll always know what to expect when it comes to EVE E-Liquids.

SPINFUEL: Where is your main office and mixing facility?

EVE: Our main office and mixing facility is located Southern California in the city of Walnut.

SPINFUEL: If a vape shop owner was interested in carrying your eliquid line, how would they go about it?

EVE: Easy! Give us a call at (909) 839-5397 or email us at info@eveliquids.com. If that fails, we will accept requests via carrier pigeon as well.

SPINFUEL: When you launched EVE how did you decide on your first “set” of flavors? How many flavors did you launch with? How many flavors do you have today?

EVE: When we first started, we had 10 flavors. They are our babies. Now we have 55, all of which we love and treasure, but your first-born will always have a special place in your heart.

SPINFUEL: Which flavor is your newest creation, and when was it released?

EVE: We’re about to release our new e-liquid line called ADAM. The flavors will punch you in the face! Stay tuned!

SPINFUEL: It seems as though every eLiquid brand has its own “signature” flavor, or flavor “genre” for a lack of a better word. Every brand is different, and I find that remarkable. With just a handful of ingredients each company is able to create their own specific traits. With that in mind, how would you describe your signature traits?

EVE: We pride ourselves on our ability to exactly replicate flavors. As if our Mango Colada was literally extracted from the drink, like how our Red Bean Delight undeniably pushes your face into the traditional Asian dessert, and Blueberry Church- a blend that undoubtedly gives you blueberry on the inhale and chocolate on the exhale.

SPINFUEL: Do you steep your eLiquids before they are shipped? If you do not, do you suggest that customers ‘home steep’ them before vaping?

EVE: The special process involved when creating our juices essentially pre-steeps all of our e-liquids so that you don’t have to! You can vape our juice right out of the box, no waiting.

SPINFUEL: Are all your eLiquids 50/50 PG/VG with naturally extracted from tobacco nicotine?

EVE: Yes, all of our e-liquids are 50/50 PG/VG at the moment. We’ll have more ratios to choose from on our web store in the future though, be on the lookout! As for our nicotine, it is medical-grade, naturally extracted from tobacco plants, and rated at 99.7%. We are the only company that can achieve purity this high in the e-cig industry.

SPINFUEL: Why only 15ML bottles? Do you plan on other sizes at some point?

EVE: We chose 15ml bottles to begin with because it’s the most popular size. We do also offer 5ml sample size bottles for the cautious. And we definitely plan to add larger sizes for you to enjoy in the near future.

SPINFUEL: Your Elegance Line is packaged in a unique bottle and box. How does a ‘flavor’ become a member of the Elegance line? Are they developed for the line, or are they decided upon later?

EVE: We carefully selected flavors that we believe will cater to any palate. Out of the whole line, there will be at least one that you will like.

SPINFUEL: Let’s talk about packaging. How are your other, non-Elegance line eLiquids packaged? Not just their physical appearance, but also, how are they sealed, boxed, and shipped to the customer?

EVE: Our Classic line of flavors comes in round glass dropper bottles. They are sealed and wrapped in bubble wrap, securely shipped in boxes.

SPINFUEL:  Are there any concerns, or perhaps a positive or two, for shipping ejuice in either extremely hot weather or cold weather conditions? Sometimes, living and working in Florida our eliquid orders arrive almost too hot to touch because they’ve sat in the mail delivery truck for hours, or even our own mailbox for hours. Is that ever a concern that the eliquid could change under those conditions?

EVE: Temperature changes is one of the primary reasons why we use glass bottles and not plastic. Glass bottles are less sensitive to heat and cold, making our e-liquids less prone to change. It will preserve the flavor and nicotine for longer, providing a more consistent flavor. Our glass bottle delays oxidation. If you’re really concerned about your vape mail sitting idly in the delivery truck in extreme weather conditions, just stalk your mail person. We won’t tell if you don’t (laughs).

SPINFUEL: The How and the where eLiquids are actually being made is becoming vitally important to more and more vapers. Could you describe your ‘mixing’ facility, in a general sense of course?

EVE: We have a clean room facility with mixing equipment, fully automated bottling, shrink banding, and labeler, along with gas chromatography.

SPINFUEL: Does your crew wear any type of special clothing when they are mixing?

EVE: Yes! Safety is our #1 concern. The team is required to wear lab coats, gloves, shoe protectors, face masks as well as goggles and a hairnet.

SPINFUEL: Do you have a specific type of Vaper in mind for your eLiquids? What I mean is, when coming up with new flavors, is demographic data used to determine what flavors would sell to “your base”?

EVE: We do not want to limit ourselves to a specific demographic besides the obvious- someone that is 18 and older. We are an all-around lifestyle brand that anyone and everyone should feel comfortable vaping.

SPINFUEL: You offer eliquids in the Elegance Line, Fruit, Dessert, and Floral and Spiced categories. Are they all available in that very special packaging (discussed in our review)?

EVE: Our Elegance line consists of 9 special flavors that come in our one-of-a-kind flask bottles and premium packaging. The other flavors in our Fruit, Dessert, etc. categories come in our round glass bottles without a box, but are all just as delicious.

SPINFUEL: What types of hardware (mods, tanks, cartos, etc.) do you use when testing your liquids?

EVE: We use kayfuns to drip atomizers, cartos and tanks. You have to always be sure that your e-liquids will taste good no matter what the hardware the vaper is using.

SPINFUEL: Do you do all your taste tasting, or beta testing, in-house or do you work with select vapers, current customers, or anyone outside the EVE company, in constructing the final recipe for an eLiquid?

EVE: Not only does the whole EVE team taste and test everything, we conduct taste tests with random test panels. We take all concerns and feedback into consideration and make changes as necessary before finalizing a recipe.

SPINFUEL: Is there any specific hardware that provides the best ‘vape’ for your eLiquids.

EVE: We believe that you can enjoy EVE E-Liquids with any hardware. Although for the more advanced vapers, we can’t deny that drip atomizers provide the best ‘vape’.

SPINFUEL: Your nicotine strength reaches down to 2mg (and zero of course), and up to a high of 18mg. Why do you think more and more eliquid manufacturers are stepping away from 24mg strengths?

EVE: We definitely think that it’s due to the growing popularity of drip atomizers. The need for such high nicotine strengths is decreasing.

SPINFUEL: If properly stored, what is the shelf life of your eLiquid? By the way, how should a customer store their eLiquids before they open them and after they’ve been opened?

EVE: Both before and after opening a bottle, e-liquids should be stored in a dark, cool, dry place. Nicotine is really the only variable with e-liquids. If you have 0mg NIC in your e-liquid, it can essentially last forever when stored in ideal conditions. But when you throw nicotine into the equation, we would recommend 18 months shelf life.

SPINFUEL: What makes a good “all day vape”?

EVE: We think a good ADV is one with flavor that will actually last throughout the day. You’ll continue to taste it even after the 100^th vape, and not be sick of it. Sweet flavors contain sweeteners and are not optimal ADVs as the flavor sometimes changes through prolonged use. Fruity and menthol flavors tend to be best.

SPINFUEL: Are eCigarettes the future of smoking, or do you think the industry is in trouble? Do you see any kind of major shift coming in the industry?

EVE: As the vaping community continues to spread awareness about the fact that it’s a healthy alternative to smoking and the best method to quitting smoking, we’d like to believe that there is an uphill trend for the industry even with the tobacco giant running rampant. David did beat Goliath, after all.

SPINFUEL: There are hundreds of eLiquid brands in the US. Why should our readers buy their e-juice from you?

EVE: Because we are all vapers here, we would personally never sell anything to another vapor that we didn’t truly beli’eve’ in (get it? *laughs*). But what differentiates us from other companies is the fact that we have a fully automated facility here, eliminating the possibility of human error. Whether you’re on your first bottle or your twentieth bottle of EVE E-Liquid, you’ll know exactly what to expect. We don’t place ourselves on a higher echelon than our customers because that’s exactly how we started- as a customer. We will always value your feedback and take action when necessary because you are our lifeline. We love our supporters; we love you guys.

SPINFUEL: This is the place where we turn the interview over to you. Is there anything else you’d like to say to our readers while you have their complete attention?

EVE: If you’re looking for a consistently good, high-quality e-liquid, try us out. For the retailers- if 5,000 bottles is what you want, that’s what you’ll get. Whatever your needs may be- if you want EVE on your shelves or if it’s private labeling that you’re looking for, we can help you. Just give us a call at (909)839-5397 or email us at info@eveliquids.com

SPINFUEL: I can’t thank you enough for talking with us today.

EVE: No, thank YOU!
