Patented granted for PAX’s nicotine-salt e-liquid

PAX Labs said yesterday that it had received a US patent for the nicotine salt e-liquid formulation used in its JUUL electronic cigarette.

‘Unlike other products in the e-liquid space, JUUL uses nicotine salts found in leaf tobacco, rather than free-base nicotine, as its core ingredient,’ the company said in a note issued through PR Newswire.

‘JUUL’s special chemical process and easy-to-use micro-tank vaporizer deliver the right nicotine strength and vapor quality to provide a uniquely pleasing and consistent experience for adult smokers.

‘This patent exemplifies innovation that is occurring in independent vapor technology companies.’
