Rigorous components
and final product testing
With more than a thousand components used for liquid development, Ritchy uses
the in-house lab to test 100% of incoming batches for safety and standards.
Most components passing through the volatile components gas mass-spectrometry - expensive testing that is done in the pharmaceutical industry. Batches also going through heavy metal testing on plasma mass-spectrometry and non-volatiles are passing through external liquid mass-spectrometry.

Zero Cross-Contamination protocol
Combination of internal procedures at Ritchy allows complete isolation of surface contamination between different liquids. And with more than 300 SKU of products, it requires special approach that Ritchy has mastered over the years. Strict compliance with internal protocols allows Ritchy to manufacture pure flavors and uncontaminated products
for many years.

Automatic Gravimetric Compounding
There are 2 main ways of how components are measured during the dosing process. Volumetric — means by volume and gravimetric — means by weight.
The volumetric approach assumes using a container with volume markings where
the operator visually checks the amount of component added into container and later disposed of in the mixing tank. Problem with this approach is that operators often make mistakes and on top of that some amount of material stays in the original container. Plus measurement containers often reused and there is almost no possibility to ensure they completely cleaned between usages with different materials.

Ritchy developed own unique compounding system that uses a 0.01% precision "state-of-the-art" gravimetric system that automatically drives peristaltic pumps to deliver components in the mix by weight. Components in use automatically checked by RFID scanner from the original drums of components. This way the possibility of operator mistake is almost completely eliminated and precision of mix is better than 0.1%. While there are more companies switching to this approach, it's still relatively unique in the vaping industry and more close to pharmaceutical standards.

Vacuum sealing verification
E-liquid is a product that easily oxidized being exposed to oxygen. Ultra-High Purity Nitrogen is used by Ritchy to remove air from a production container before mixing.
All bottled products by Ritchy are going through a 100% vacuum testing twice surpassing requirements for transportation test for leakage (-65kPa,
3 times for 30 minutes). This process allows us to make sure trade is not going to get damaged goods and validates that containers are highly air-tight packed. This way contamination of liquid is highly improbable.

Unique security code on each product with online verification
From 2014 Ritchy uses a security and batch tracking system developed in-house. Every single product produced from that time (and at this moment - all products in service) is stored in the database with 2D codes available for consumers. That can be used to validate that the product is genuine (# of checks is limited, so any counterfeit products run out of codes) and to have a connection directly to the consumer.

Internally, Ritchy can check by the code which batch of Raw Materials was used for that product. In the production process, all batches of materials are verified by RFID from Ritchy Material Tracking Database.
Ritchy tracks dozens of millions of units with more ¼ million people validated their products.

Full batch sample retention control
Ritchy produces dozens of thousands of batches of products. And after all precautionary steps, QA and QC, the company stores every single batch sample in normal warehouse conditions. With any request from the trade about product quality there is always availability of sample of exact same product batch that has stayed for the same amount of time on the shelf. This way Ritchy can quickly and thoroughly analyze the product for any inconsistency that could have happened on the shelves.
With the complete raw material tracing database Ritchy can quickly react and identify batches of products that could have been potentially affected. While nothing dangerous was ever found in products - the ability to quickly react and ensure that product is within specification is a unique advantage of Ritchy.
