"Metered Flow" in "Open Nicotine Containers" 

CPSC has indicated E-Liquid products must feature restricted-flow mechanisms, effective immediately. 

“If you manufacture or sell noncompliant [e-liquid] products, you may be subject to legal action for doing so including civil penalties of up to $110,000 for each violation, and $16,025,000 for any related series of violations.”

Consumer Product Safety Commission November 22, 2019

PATENT-PENDING FLOW-RESTRICTING INSERTS | COMPATIBLE WITH 99% OF “E-LIQUID” BOTTLES.

Fluid is honored to have Cole McDonald's invention featured in Tobacco Reporter's article, "What's in a Bottle?" on June 1st, 2021. Read the article in its entirety at https://tobaccoreporter.com/2021/06/01/whats-in-a-bottle/.

... Fluid Certify, has developed patent-pending technology to help address the glass bottle flow restriction issue.

 

Fluid Certify was founded by Cole McDonald, who also founded McDonald Vapor Co., an e-liquid manufacturer. In 2020, Cole passed away in a tragic climbing accident, and his mother, Lola McDonald, has kept the business going. Before Cole’s passing, he created flow restriction technology for glass bottles. Cole’s e-liquid products were packaged in unique glass bottles, and when the CPSC came out with its guidance, he conceived of his patent-pending technology to allow himself and others to maintain a level of excellence and offer alternatives to more generic plastic bottles.

The material used in Fluid Certify’s glass bottle flow restrictors is FDA food grade and offers flexibility and strength. It uses vacuum pressure and gravity to allow for repeated, uninterrupted use of a pipette. While the company is not currently mass producing the technology, it is not out of the question, according to Lola.

“Cole had a passion for the industry … he had no excuses for failure or blame—he found solutions,” Lola said of her son. His creativity and inclination for inventing opened the door to potentially “change things for the better” as he hoped to do. The company’s website, www.fluid-dynamic.com, offers more information on how to access the technology.
