Market Detail: Veracity Insurance Solution’s (www.veracityinsurance.com) VIP coverage was designed specifically for the e-cigarette industry with exclusive insurance coverage forms to respond to the needs of the vape industry. Coverage includes no health hazard exclusion. Health hazard exclusions vary from one insurance company to another and can limit coverage to totally exclude all health-related issues, e-liquids, devices, or a combination of these items.
