Insider Info Allegations Lead Chill Brands to Suspend CEO

The UK-based vape maker Chill Brands said on Monday that Callum Sommerton had been suspended as its CEO after allegations were raised around the company’s use of inside information.
The company said law firm Fieldfisher had been appointed to investigate the allegations, but it added that Sommerton’s suspension did not imply that he was guilty of misconduct.
Chill Brands’ share price plunged as much as 31 percent in Monday morning trading after the announcement, according to media reports.
“This suspension does not constitute disciplinary action or a disciplinary penalty and does not imply any assumption that Mr Sommerton is guilty of any misconduct or that any decision has been made,” Chill Brands stated in a release.
The company added that it will engage with the Financial Conduct Authority over the investigation, and the findings will be reported “in due course.”

Liquid Reviews – April 2020
It seems like everything is an unknown right now. When will things get back to normal? Is that even a possibility anymore? When it comes to the vapor industry, we aren’t even sure if the premarket tobacco product application (PMTA) due to be turned in to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 12 is going to stand. Surely, considering the situation, the FDA and the Maryland judge who set the deadline will allow more time for companies to comply. Numerous businesses have said they have already had to postpone some studies until after people can return to their jobs.
In this issue, we continue to (mostly) review e-liquid brands (maybe not the reviewed flavor) that we expect will file a PMTA. No matter what happens, vape shops are soon going to have to realize that once the PMTA deadline is enforced, there will be fewer e-liquid brands to choose from. There may also be fewer places to buy e-liquid. “Shop owners and manufacturers need to fight through these tough times,” said James Jarvis, a U.S. vape shop owner and president of the Ohio Vapor Technology Association. With any luck, the world returns to normal by next issue.

Liquid Reviews – February 2020
We attempt to review e-liquids and flavors where the companies that manufacture them are expected to submit a premarket tobacco product application (PMTA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The deadline is May 12. All products that do not file by the deadline must be removed from the market. It is impossible to know what flavors will have PMTAs filed because companies are keeping quiet about their overall intentions, but the companies reviewed did say these brands would file “some flavors.”
The FDA did not include disposable systems in its flavor ban that took effect Feb. 6. Since the exemption was announced, several disposable systems have come on the market. While technically illegal since they were not on the market prior to Aug. 8, 2016, they are expected to be allowed to remain on the market if a PMTA is filed by the deadline. In the next issue, we will review several disposable systems (unless additional action is taken by the FDA against the products) to help retailers better understand the brands available. Additionally, we made a mistake with the numbers for Fruitia brand e-liquid in the last issue and have printed the correct score.

Liquid Reviews – December 2019
We look back at the highest rated e-liquids from every issue of Vapor Voice in 2019. To date, we have never had an e-liquid score a perfect 10. Surprisingly, three of the Top 5 are strawberry flavored. It’s interesting considering the broad spectrum of flavors we tested this year. Fruit flavors are the most popular flavors for U.S. vapers, according to numerous studies.
U.S. smokers can still vape flavored vapor products, but that could change at any time as the industry awaits President Donald Trump’s stance on flavors. It may not matter, however, as premarket tobacco product applications are due to the Food and Drug Administration by May 12, 2020. There is also an election next year, and some congressional Democrats support legislation banning flavors.
We also review five very popular e-liquids in brick-and-mortar vape shops.

Liquid Reviews – October 2019
Unlike the U.S. market, e-liquid flavors are not under attack in the European market. During Vapor Voice’s visit to the InterTobac/InterSupply trade show in Dortmund, Germany, from Sept. 18–20, several EU-based e-liquid manufacturers expressed their concern over how U.S. regulation could potentially flow into the EU market and limit the number of flavors available to smokers trying to quit combustible cigarettes in those countries.
Many manufacturers said they were confused as to why the U.S. had such a large youth initiation issue that doesn’t seem to be happening in the EU. One explanation, manufacturers say, is that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s message excludes explaining that vaping is less risky than smoking combustible cigarettes and should only be used to help smokers quit. One manufacturer even suggested that telling youth not to vape could be a catalyst to push youth toward vaping. “The message from U.S. regulators must improve,” he said.

Liquid Reviews – August 2019
With the new deadline for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs) for vapor products now set, many retailers are wondering what will happen with flavors. Most manufacturers have said that there will definitely be a decrease in the amount of variety after the May 12, 2020 deadline, but there is also still the chance that the FDA could ban all flavors except tobacco, menthol and mint.
It’s impossible to predict exactly how the FDA is going to regulate e-liquid flavorings, but right now, vape shop owners are preparing for a smaller pool of product to choose from. We visit with several brands that sent us samples of their product.

Liquid Reviews – June 2019
We tested two new sub-ohm salt e-liquids and eight traditional liquids. Sub-ohm salt e-liquids are made for sub-ohm devices (such as rebuildable drip atomizers and open tank systems) and come in much lower nicotine strengths than traditional salt liquids (typically 0 mg, 3 mg, 6 mg and 12 mg instead of between 30 mg and 50 mg in traditional salt liquids). With sub-ohm salt nicotine, vapers are also no longer confined to using pod-based systems. Standard nicotine is typically extracted from the nicotine salt naturally present in tobacco leaves using ammonia. Nicotine salt, however, is derived directly from natural tobacco leaf without ammonia. Users say that sub-ohm salt liquids provide a smoother and cleaner vaping experience.

Liquid Reviews – April 2019
We are continuing to rate two flavors from a single brand or two brands from a single manufacturer. Numerous studies have shown that flavors are important to prevent vapers from returning to combustible cigarettes. It’s true that many vapers start with tobacco flavors, but studies have shown they only use these flavors temporarily while they adjust to vaping. Many vapers prefer using sweet or fruit-flavored e-liquids. These remain the most popular e-liquids sold in vape shops. However, if the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has its way, the only available flavors will be tobacco, menthol and mint. Let’s hope that day never comes.

Liquid Reviews – February 2019
Flavors are important to vapers in their effort to stay away from combustible cigarettes. Brands also offer many enticing flavors. Therefore, we decided to review two different flavors from some of the most popular e-liquid brands side by side. We also tried out the new sub-ohm salt e-liquid from Fresh Pressed. Nicotine salts are becoming more popular, especially in the lower nicotine levels offered by sub-ohm salt e-liquids. With sub-ohm salt nicotine, you are no longer limited to using pod-based systems to enjoy your favorite vapor flavors. Just like traditional e-liquids, sub-ohm salts can be used on most devices such as tanks and RDAs.
