Savage Enterprises to Make History as an Open System Company in the Vaping Industry: FDA 10-Month PMTA

Savage Enterprises, known as “Savage”, plans to partake in making history as an open system company in the vaping industry. Its belief is concurrent with a statement released by the former FDA Commissioner, Scott Gottlieb stating “Data shows that refillable liquid vaping devices – so-called open systems- are primarily used by adults while disposable cartridge-based e-cigs – “closed” systems…are favored by minors…Both types are currently subject to similar regulations. Yet their different potential benefits and patterns of use mean they could be treated differently…This approach could also yield efficiencies for FDA’s application-review process”. Although Savage understands and agrees with the urgency to control teenage nicotine use, this new ruling could prove detrimental to the open system industry for adult vapers.

 

In a recent case brought to the federal court in Maryland by the American Academy of Pediatrics, its original assertion requested that the Food and Drug Administration begin the PMTA review process within four months in an effort to curb underage usage. In its final ruling, it was thus amended to a ten-month time frame.

 

Entering the Electronic Nicotine Delivery System market in 2014, Savage stands as one of the leading e-liquid manufacturers in the nation. As a pioneer in this industry, their response to this precipitated schedule has greatly accelerated their original strategy to file from the previous 2022 PMTA time frame, to this deeming May 2020 deadline. Over the last year Savage has met with multiple laboratories to strategize for chemical testing, clinical trials as well as compiling supporting literature for their application. In an effort to comply with this statute, Savage has decided to expedite their original application agenda.

Continuing to provide adult consumers with an alternative to smoking as well as protect small businesses, Savage believes that it is of the utmost importance to do everything in its power to delay this edict, while continuing to plan to submit their PMTA by May of 2020.

 

Savage believes it has a responsibility and obligation to its clients and consumers who have supported them over the years, to confirm that they intend to submit their PMTA and to continue to provide a quality alternative to combustible tobacco.

 

ABOUT SAVAGE ENTERPRISES

In 2014, Savage E-liquid was the first company created by Savage Enterprises. Since the inception, business at Savage E-Liquid began moving very quickly, to which Savage Enterprises was born in early 2015.

 

Let’s start a little before Savage though. I owned a vape shop called OC Vapor Chamber with my business partner Matt. I’ll be honest, I really didn’t want to create flavors. I really didn’t think manufacturing and distribution were for me. I wanted to solely focus on retail, and build my retail business, but as time went on I started seeing other companies like Spaace Jam juice, Cosmic Fog, and various others blow up.

 

I came from a sales background and love phone sales, you know when you’re really good at something, it just feels right? Yeah, that’s how I feel about sales – especially over the phone. So, now I became interested in selling e-liquid products.

 

I started mixing my first flavor, now called White, around April of 2014 and people loved it. I have gone ahead and rested my mixologist hat since then, why screw up a good thing when you did it perfectly once? I now leave it to the professionals to innovate and design our flavors.

 

But that flavor was a hit! We made a few other flavors in the back of our vape shop, which by the way was a room about 10 feet by 5 feet, so not a lot of room to move around.

 

At the time, at my sales job, selling real estate and wasn’t ready to take the plunge fully into the vape space, that didn’t come until 2015.

 

Later in 2014, we started calling shops, sending samples, and making deals. I couldn’t believe it. We hit our first vape show at the beginning of 2015 and maxed out our merchant processor. (They were pissed, which I still don’t understand).

Finally, it became the time I knew would always happen – it was time to go all in on entrepreneurship. Unfortunately, our shop had to die off because I was focusing so much on our distribution and manufacturing. But this step into distribution and manufacturing was the direction we needed to take for Savage Enterprises.

 

I wish I could say the path to being one of the biggest companies in the industry was easy, but it really hasn’t been. Business is quite the competitive sport, but I am glad that we accomplished what we did by going all in.

 

Over the years I have learned about the importance of quality control, marketing, customers, margins, distribution, and it has been one hell of a ride.

 

Our core values here at Savage include thinking outside of the box and helping the companies that work with us. We understand that without these businesses, we would not be anywhere close to where we are today. So, we strive to maintain these values with every given opportunity.

 

This even extends to the end users – some of my favorite people ever! Without THEM we would be out of business.

 

Overall, if you took the time to read about the history of Savage I want to thank you for taking the time. We truly value the vape community and we would love to be a part of your business’ success.

 

 

PS: Everyone asks me, “How did you come up with the name Savage?” Well, in truth, there was an argument about our name early on, the two names on the table were between HardXcore Vapors or Savage. Savage is my gamertag on online gaming. So, you can probably assume who won that argument. ?
