With the global expansion of the e-cigarette market, more and more purchasers choose to purchase special flavorings for e-liquids from Chinese flavoring manufacturers. However, due to the low threshold of the industry and inconsistent standards, it is not uncommon to "step on a pit" in the procurement process —— such as: unstable taste, delayed delivery, inconsistent quality, and non-compliance with regulations.
This article will combine practical experience to help you to accurately, efficiently and safely select the right fragrance partner from China.
一、主流类型及中国香精制造商的选购建议
类型
特色
推荐采购团队
工厂直供类型
自主生产车间，配方团队，支持定制香精
品牌持有者与批发采购商
贸易代理类型
资源来自多家工厂，类别丰富但技术支持薄弱
小批量试产，价格敏感采购
香精研发实验室类型
专注于新香精的研发，具备强大的配方能力，但产能有限
高端定制品牌，创新产品线
🧭 采购前须明确的两三件事
产品定位与香型方向
Sales areas (Europe, America? Middle East?) have different taste preferences
The main taste direction (sweet, cool, tobacco, compound) needs to be planned in advance
合规要求
是否需要支持TPD、PMTA或SDS文件？
目标价格与交付方式
先打样再小批量生产，还是一次性大批量以便长远合作？
🧪 如何样品测试香精的实际表现？
Many buyers judge the quality of fragrance only by "smelling", which is very dangerous. The correct way is:
制造商需提供按VG/PG比例稀释的香精样品
The actual atomization test was carried out using the mainstream atomizer equipment (0.8Ω ~ 1.2Ω)
Pay attention to the stability of flavoring under different temperature/storing conditions
Observe whether the fragrance is stratified, precipitated or "exploded" problems
📌 Tip: High quality suppliers will actively provide data such as fragrance atomization compatibility report and thermal stability test.
