I'm not sure most of them claim no EO, some of them are open about using EO if you ask them. On SSAs price list, it says their oils are in MCT and use benzyl benzoate (20%) and benzyl alcohol (2%) which is similar to domestic brews. I haven't asked them specifically if they use EO, but it seems common practice in china. Mct is pretty thin by itself, so EO isnt really necessary. But with GSO it's more common because it thins the oil. But floaters in chinese oils are common, whereas domestic sources are less common. Also the cheap vials and stoppers are issues of concern with chinese oils
