Press release: ELFBAR and LOST MARY publish new research findings on sweeteners in vaping products

+++ Study provides important insights for the development of safer e-liquid formulations +++

Berlin, June 23, 2025 - The leading international vaping brands ELFBAR and LOST MARY have presented new scientific findings on the use of sweeteners in e-liquids, a key ingredient in many flavored e-cigarette products.

Pay attention to high-quality ingredients to To prevent coil unk and to preserve the flavor in the long term.

In a recent article in the journal Frontiers The published study investigated the potential effects of the two widely used sweeteners sucralose and neotame in daily use of vaping products. The focus was particularly on the release of heavy metals in aerosols and their biocompatibility.

Clear recommendation: Reduce sucralose or replace it with neotame.

The results clearly show that neotame performs significantly better than sucralose. Samples containing neotame showed significantly lower levels of heavy metals in the generated vapor and lower cytotoxicity than those containing sucralose. Furthermore, a clear correlation was found: the higher the concentration of sucralose in the e-liquid, the greater the heavy metal contamination in the aerosol.

“For us, safe ingredients for e-liquids are a top priority in order to to be able to offer better products. “This study provides scientific insights and simultaneously reinforces our commitment to low-pollutant formulations in our products,” explains Samuel Fu, Director of R&D Engineering at ELFBAR and LOST MARY adds: “Based on this study and our years of research on sweeteners, the brands recommend limiting sucralose or replacing it with neotame, a safer sweetener.”

Sweeteners and flavorings remain key to quitting smoking.

“Flavored e-liquids can play an important role in supporting adult smokers in quitting tobacco – provided that the ingredients used meet the highest quality and safety standards,” Fu continued. “Therefore, we are doing everything we can to continuously improve the composition of our flavors.”

To minimize potential risks associated with ingredients, we operate ELFBAR and LOST MARY conducts continuous comprehensive research – including on the cytotoxicity and chemical composition of sweeteners in vaping products.

With their consistent focus on product safety, both brands position themselves as pioneers in the industry and set new standards for safe ingredients in e-liquids for adult users through scientifically supported results.
