  • FEELM Guides Vape Industry Toward Sustainability

    FEELM Guides Vape Industry Toward Sustainability

    FEELM, a major global atomization company, presented its solutions for achieving sustainable development in the industry during the Global Vape Forum, held during the World Vape Show Dubai 2024 industry event.

    Rex Zhang, strategy director at Smoore and assistant president at FEELM, told attendees that increasingly stringent global regulations and compliance, youth protection, and environmental protection have become the three major challenges hindering the vaping industry’s sustainable development. He said the challenges are even greater in countries like the UK and France, which are planning to introduce disposable vaping product bans.

    Zhang said that stricter global regulations are beneficial for the industry’s development. However, while regulations clarify rules, strict enforcement is crucial to block the circulation of “illegal” products.

    “At the same time, focusing on youth protection and environmental protection, vape companies need to create more compliant and legal products through technological innovation and upgraded vaping experiences,” said Zhang. “Collaboration among brands, retailers, and regulators is essential to achieve sustainable development in the industry.”

    Building compliance capability is a long-term project. As a publicly traded company, Smoore consistently adheres to legal and regulatory standards and continually enhances its compliance capabilities through increased R&D investment, helping more clients succeed in global markets, according to Zhang. In 2023 alone, he said Smoore invested $1.48 billion in R&D, accounting for 13.3 percent of its annual revenue.

    Smoore also has committed to helping its clients’ products obtain to obtain marketing authorization from the U.S. Food and MDrug Administration. Smoore has been instrumental in nearly every vaping product currently authorized by the FDA. Additionally, adhering to the “customer first” business philosophy, Zhang said that FEELM has introduced a series of solutions tailored for several different global markets.

    “[We] believe that consumers in the global market are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and the demand in different markets is more diverse. To respond to the urgent demand for environmentally friendly products in the European market, FEELM has launched the next-generation vape pod solution, FEELM PRO [which complies with TPD regulations and] is environmentally friendly,” said Zhang. “This effectively addresses the current issue of disposable ‘use and discard’ products. It is also simpler to assemble than similar products; it bursts power at an instant start and significantly enhances the flavor experience, offering a smooth and rich taste.”

    Through technological innovation and the use of eco-friendly materials, FEELM has rapidly improved atomization efficiency and battery efficiency, significantly enhancing the vaping experience while greatly reducing the raw materials required for production, according to Zhang. FEELM has also developed a series of new solutions for non-TPD markets, including the world’s first  30,000 puffs disposable with a four-sided surround screen.

    Zhang said FEELM has developed more than eight different child lock solutions to combat youth usage, each meeting the regulatory needs of different markets. “The continuous launch of new solutions results from our long-term investment in technological R&D,” said Zhang. “This is just the beginning.

    “We are confident in focusing on innovation in atomization technology and continually introducing sustainable and compliant vape solutions to meet consumers’ ever-evolving demands for excellence and environmental sustainability.”

    Despite its small size, the Turbo can deliver a 200 percent improvement in taste intensity. It efficiently atomizes large molecules while enhancing e-liquid aroma recovery, resulting in a richer and more satisfying hit, according to the release. “With a burst time of just 0.5 seconds, it outperforms mainstream products on the market by strides. Tests show that just one burst power ceramic coil performs more than on par with dual MESH coils,” FEELM states.

    At this year’s TPE exhibition, FEELM showcased an ultra-thin burst power disposable product the 2024 TPE trade show held in Las Vegas at the end of January. With a body thickness of only 14mm, the product “impressed consumers with its elegant thinness, excellent feel, and powerful first puff. It truly lives up to its name: ‘thin yet powerful!’”

    The FEELM Turbo solution delivers significantly more vapor at a lower power setting. Compared to dual Mesh products on the market, FEELM Turbo sees an 80 percent increase in performance, offering a richer flavor experience. The Turbo also boasts constant power engine technology, which ensures consistent flavor and vapor volume throughout the product’s lifespan.

    “Users can enjoy the same satisfying taste with every puff, unlike mainstream products where flavor often fades to bland. Compared to the competitors, FEELM Turbo products demonstrate a 35 percent improvement in flavor consistency and a remarkable 95 percent consistency in the vapor volume,” the release states.

  • FEELM Launches Charge-Free Disposable

    FEELM Launches Charge-Free Disposable

    FEELM, a vaping industry leader in closed-system products, has launched the world’s first charge-free vaping system. The new Power Alpha 2.0 solves the problem of needing repeated charging in the large puff vapes currently popular on the market.

    FEELM started developing the charge-free battery technology that can empower large-puff vapes as early as 2022. The previous version of the company’s original Power Alpha technology could only support 6,000 puffs without charging.

    The upgrade more than doubles the count to 15,000 puffs, according to an emailed press release.

    FEELM states that the Power Alpha 2.0 also solves the issues of decaying tastes in cotton mesh coils, realizing consistently true flavors in every puff.

    The Power Alpha 2.0 is equipped with FEELM’s TopPower technology. “Relying on this technology, the energy density of Power Alpha 2.0’s battery cells is 40 percent higher than … products of the same size, making Power Alpha 2.0’s battery cells 40 percent smaller than … products with the same amount of power.

    “The extremely low self-discharge rate is another addition to benefits. A 700 percent lower self-discharge rate compared others on the market, which can lead to a longer shelf life and better support customers’ global market rollout.”

    The Power Alpha 2.0 also uses a unique Mesh constant power solution, leading to a taste that is 300 percent more consistent than other products on the market, according to FEELM.

    “With the substantial increase in the vapor volume and atomization efficiency, Power Alpha 2.0 supports the ability to fully vaporize the e-liquids for richer and fuller flavors, ” the release states. “Experiment data shows that the Power Alpha 2.0 solution’s atomization efficiency has increased by 200 percent along with an increased vapor volume of 49 percent compared to similar products from competitors. The numbers show a very evident advantage.”

  • Topower Brings More Puffs and Better Battery

    Topower Brings More Puffs and Better Battery

    A new disposable vape battery solution was showcased during the World Vape Show Dubai, held from June 21-23.
    The pioneering power technology developed by FEELM, a subsidiary of the world’s largest atomization technology company Smoore, is intended for markets that allow higher puff counts and has been designed to increase the endurance of single-use devices.

    When compared to mainstream batteries, the new Topower offers 30 percent more capacity with the battery size remaining unchanged and can deliver over 6,000 puffs without needing to be recharged.

    Topower also provides a constant power output that reduces the loss of taste caused by voltage drop.

    FEELM says the new innovation also boasts the “longest shelf life in the industry,” according to a press release, promising just 1 percent power attenuation over six months and 3 percent over a year – which the brand says is 1/10th the level seen in traditional batteries.
    “This is our new battery technology customized for higher puff disposable vape, with large puff vaping without charging, ultimate-low discharge, ultimate-high energy density,” said Rex Zhang assistant president of FEELM. “The end goal for our industry is to create a smoke-free future and unburden adults from the harms of deadly cigarettes – technology is going to play a leading role in achieving this.”

    Zhang said the no-charge element of Topower was beneficial not just for brands, but for consumers as well. He said the battery solution eradicates the need for additional charging cables, which eliminates the necessity for internal charging devices and consequently saves on production costs.

    He also said consumers would no longer need to “worry about when and where they could next plug their disposable, which can reduce user anxieties and create a more convenient vaping experience,” according to the release.

    Topower has been incorporated into two solutions – FEELM Max’s ceramic coil disposable solution and Power Alpha‘s mesh coil solution.

    FEELM Max and Power Alpha have already been extensively commercialized and have achieved considerable success in multiple countries.

  • Max Ceramic Coil and Topower Show in Dubai

    Max Ceramic Coil and Topower Show in Dubai

    FEELM, the subsidiary of the world’s largest atomization technology company, Smoore, exhibited two innovations that have been developed to “raise product performance” across the disposable vape category during an industry event in Dubai.

    The FEELM Max’s ceramic coil and Topower battery technology were created as part of a targeted effort to ‘level up the single-use sector’ and enhance consumer experience, according to a press release.

    The pioneering advancements both earned attention from the industry and are already appearing in devices from globally recognized brands.

    FEELM says each was designed to address a “pain point” of the industry.

    FEELM Max’s ceramic coil has done away with super-absorbent cotton to reduce the amount of e-liquid that goes to waste and increase the puff count of TRPR- and TPD-compliant 2ml disposables in the UK by as much as 30 percent – a rise from 600 to at least 800 puffs.

    It also reduces impurities by 78 percent during the heating process, produces air particles that are 55 percent smaller than mainstream solutions and uses a “constant power engine” that provides a vapor consistency of 95 percent and a 35 percent improvement in taste consistency.

    The second notable innovation is FEELM’s Topower battery technology. This breakthrough increases the endurance of large e-liquid capacity vapes and can provide over 6,000 puffs without needing to recharge, which allows consumers to get rid of the hassle of charging.

    Further, the compact power solution – which offers 30 percent more capacity – delivers a consistent output which FEELM says will counter the common issue of flavor reduction caused by voltage drop.

    Topower also promises a longer shelf life, with 1 percent power attenuation over six months and 3 percent power attenuation over a year. This advancement effectively avoids the burning taste and assures a strong consistency of flavor.

    Speaking on the developments, Rex Zhang, assistant president at FEELM, said the company prides itself on being the brand behind the brands and its technology has become to vaping what Intel Core processors are to laptops.

    “We aim to elevate the disposable category to a whole new level through innovation– our ceramic coils and Topower battery solution represent two significant successes on this front,” he said, adding that technology will be a “critical metric” on which to measure the winners and losers of the industry moving forward. “The vape category is fuelled by the desire to help adult smokers switch away from cigarettes – but it is built on innovation.”

  • FEELM Max Disposable Launched at UK Expo

    FEELM Max Disposable Launched at UK Expo

    The innovative new disposable vaping system FEELM Max was launched during the UK Vaper Expo in Birmingham on May 13.

    The FEELM Max is now available in the UK and EU markets. The event was attended by many top-level e-cigarette industry representatives and FEELM clients, including BAT, RELX International, Totally Wicked and KIWI.

    A subsidiary of Smoore Technology, the world’s largest vaping company, SMOORE, FEELM unveiled the advanced FEELM Max solution that the company says brings three major breakthroughs to vaping, including the advanced heating technology of the Ceramic Coil S1, a constant power control system and “mindful design,” according to a press release.

    The FEELM Max uses the new Ceramic Coil S1, which is designed to deliver “a superior vaping experience” and offers an increased puff count that sets a new benchmark in the market.

    Johnny Zhang, assistant president at FEELM

    “Benefitting from its cotton-free design and the resulting improvement of e-liquid utilization, the FEELM Max is able to boost puff count by more than 30 percent compared to cotton coil disposable solutions, providing 800 more puffs and setting a new benchmark for 2ml (e-liquid volumes),” said Johnny Zhang, assistant president at FEELM. “This innovation allows products using the FEELM Ceramic Coil S1 to offer increased puff counts while remaining totally compliant with all local regulations.”

    Additionally, the new S1 coil decreases the number of impurities created in the heating process by 78 percent, resulting “in fresher breath and no unpleasant aftertaste.”

    The new system also has several technological innovations. The FEELM Max solution uses a constant power energy management system for stable vaping. This technology improves taste consistency by 35 percent, which further enhances the user experience, according to the release.

    FEELM Max products have a transparent e-liquid tank for both aesthetics and user convenience that allows consumers to easily see how much e-liquid is left in the device.

    The first industrial whole-chain recycling program was also introduced by FEELM during the UK event. Collaborating with RELX International in the UK, FEELM has “taken the responsibility for implementing a scheme that will facilitate vape recycling to a fuller extent, thereby minimizing the environmental impact.”

    Bing Du, the CEO and founder of RELX International stated at the event: “Thanks to the groundbreaking technology of FEELM Max, and driven by our legendary partnership with FEELM, RELX International is on course to revolutionize the vaping experience across the globe.”

    The company’s commitment to making recycling more accessible demonstrates its dedication to environmental sustainability, according to the release. As the initiative gains traction, it could serve as a model for other industries looking to implement eco-friendly practices and engage adult customers in sustainability efforts.

    FEELM intends to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in vaping technology, while keeping its commitment to sustainability and compliance at the heart of its operations, according to the release. “The company’s mission to shape a better vaping industry, not only for today but for generations to come, remains stronger than ever,” Zhang said.

    Of the few vaping products that survived regulatory scrutiny, many have been manufactured by Smoore.

    By Timothy S. Donahue

    The U.S. premarket tobacco product application (PMTA) process is one of the world’s most rigorous regulatory pathways to market for nicotine products. Out of nearly 7 million applications, only 23 e-cigarette-style products have been approved for marketing by the Food and Drug Administration. Most of the approved products have been manufactured by a single company.

    Smoore International Holdings, through its subsidiary, Shenzhen Smoore Technology, manufactures the Njoy Ace, Njoy Daily, Logic Power and Logic Pro devices. The Njoy Ace is the most technologically advanced vaping product to receive marketing approval in the U.S. It is the first e-cigarette authorized by the FDA that is equipped with ceramic coils that are manufactured by FEELM, the atomization brand owned by Smoore Technology. The Ace marketing orders mark the first approval by the FDA of a pod-style vaping product.

    Garnering the marketing orders required plenty of forethought and investment from Smoore. Based on PMTA requirements, Smoore established a comprehensive analytical testing and safety assessment system, including the vaping industry’s first corporate toxicology laboratory, which explores the health impacts of exposure to e-cigarette vapor by means of cytotoxicity tests. These test the reaction of living cells to different components of e-cigarette vapor. The company has also developed the third generation of in-house safety standards, Smoore 3.0, which covers all of the necessary PMTA tests, including testing for harmful and potentially harmful constituents.

    In a conversation with Tobacco Reporter, FEELM Marketing Director Sofia Luo attributed the success of Smoore products in the regulatory process to the company’s detailed and lengthy research and development process, which includes a rigorous testing and safety assessment system.

    “FEELM ceramic coils have more than seven years of research and development. It is the first black ceramic atomization coil that presents high harm reduction performance in the electronic atomization industry. It provides more flavor than a cotton coil,” Luo said. “‘FEELM Inside’ technology has also been upgraded and optimized continuously since its debut. We believe that only innovation from bottom to top can lead to industry breakthroughs and allow us to provide outstanding products for our clients.”

    Because of their innovative atomization technology, FEELM coils significantly increase Smoore clients’ chances of garnering an FDA marketing order and meeting China’s e-cigarette standard. Currently, the top four Chinese e-cigarette brands with the highest production quotas (amounting to 80 percent of the total) are partnered with the FEELM brand.

    A quality coil is a much-needed component for generating flavor in vaping products. Looking at the current regulatory landscape, tobacco will likely remain the dominating flavor in both the U.S and China. Tobacco taste-only policies could also impact other regions. According to Luo, Smoore has upgraded its ceramic coils, which can be specifically tailored toward tobacco flavors.

    “To comply with the Chinese national standard for e-cigs released this year, domestic brands use materials directly extracted from tobacco for e-liquid production, making it harder for coil manufacturers to produce a suitable device,” explains Luo. “We developed a comprehensive technology solution [that helps Smoore’s] Chinese and overseas clients to study [and develop new innovations] and produce better e-cigarette products. This continuous innovation is the foundation for the advancement of Smoore and the rapid development of the e-cigarette industry.”

    Innovation is important for the industry. Smoore has been a frontrunner in innovation and has applied for 4,300 global patents. The company must also be diligent in protecting its intellectual property. Last October, Smoore filed a complaint under the U.S. Tariff Act accusing 38 American and Canadian companies and individuals of infringing on three of its patents and one of its trademarks. As of April 20, 17 of the 38 defendant companies had signed consent letters or settlement agreements.

    To stay ahead in innovation, Smoore has recruited over 1,500 R&D experts, accounting for more than 40 percent of its total staff. The company has applied for more than 500 vaping-related heating patents. Recently, Smoore launched the FEELM Max, the world’s first ceramic coil disposable pod solution. The ceramic coil allows for a higher level of safety and harm reduction compared to previous devices.

    Smoore presented its FEELM Max disposable technology solution at the Indonesia Electronic Atomization Exhibition (IECIE 2022), which took place at the Jakarta International Convention and Exhibition Center in late October. Speaking at the exhibition, Smoore Vice President Clayton Shen highlighted the importance of technological innovation in driving progress in the vaping industry.

    During his presentation, Shen explained that the closed system is the fastest-growing category in the next-generation tobacco market and will claim a significant market share over time. According to Smoore, ceramic coils solve longstanding coil challenges such as leaking liquid and a burnt taste. FEELM’s ceramic coils, said Shen, are used by many of the leading vapor product manufacturers, such as Relx and Njoy.

    Founded in 2009, Smoore was one of the first companies to join the e-cigarette industry and later became China’s first billion-dollar vapor company. Smoore International Holdings, parent to Shenzhen Smoore Technology, is also the first vapor company to be listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. Globally, Smoore is considered one of the most valuable vapor industry manufacturers. According to Frost and Sullivan, Smoore is No. 1 in the global vaping device market with a 22.8 percent market share in 2021.

    Smoore is parent to Vaporesso and FEELM, two vaping brands that have gained global recognition for their innovative products. Vaporesso is an open system product brand created in 2015 and is “dedicated to establishing a smoke-free world while raising the quality of life for its users,” according to Luo. “Based on its continuous innovation, strict quality control and substantial commitment, Vaporesso creates products that can fit all levels and styles of vapers.”

    FEELM is a closed system technology brand that has been devoted to providing comprehensive atomization technology for global tobacco giants and independent e-cigarette brands, according to Luo, adding that FEELM manufactures FEELM Inside and FEELM Air, the latest in closed pod systems, and FEELM Max, a disposable system.

     “This year, FEELM has started to bring the advanced technology of ceramic coils to the field of disposable vapes, hoping to bring our consumers of disposable products the same atomizing experiences as a closed pod system. Compared to other disposable products, FEELM presents a better performance on safety and harm reduction,” Luo said. “Developing and upgrading atomization technology to better optimize the user experience has been a goal, and we wanted to support our clients in launching disposable vapes with ceramic coils in the global market rapidly. This has provided end consumers with more choices.”

    When Smoore International announced its financial results for 2021, it reported annual revenues of RMB13.75 billion ($2.16 billion), representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 37.4 percent. The company credited its FEELM brand and its innovative vaping solutions for its growing success. “The driving force of the atomization industry is technological innovations, which brings fundamental breakthroughs in product safety and flavor reproduction,” said Smoore board chairman Chen Zhiping during the presentation.

    In its effort to provide consumers more choices in harm reduction products, Smoore has now launched Metex, its heat-not-burn division. The company’s goal is to create a new heating technology R&D platform “that connects the present and the future, balancing the beauty of technology and life,” according to the Metex website. Metex aims to provide its business partners with one-stop supply chain solutions, from core heating technology research to product development and final production.

    While Smoore began as an e-cigarette company, the company increasingly views itself as a technology company. Recently, it changed its email address from @smoorecig to @smooretech to better reflect the company’s growing goals. Luo said that changing the email suffix was a way to “better convey our technology” concept to the public, and at least 10 percent of the company’s profits every year are reinvested into its science and technology components, including Smoore’s 14 research institutes that the company has established around the world.

    Smoore is growing rapidly. The company expects the e-cigarette market to continue growing at a significant stride over the next five years. Industry experts say product innovation, too, is going to continue at a rapid pace. Luo said that smoking alternatives are becoming increasingly popular worldwide as more consumers and governments realize the significance of e-cigarettes in supporting harm reduction. Improvements in the manufacturing process, she says, will help increase the options for consumers, and manufacturers will inevitably move from semiautomated production lines toward fully automated production lines.

    “Regarding the technical development in the overall e-cigarette market, we believe that improving safety, taste optimization and improving the efficiency of nicotine delivery are the major trends in the future. We also are conducting in-depth research on these important technologies internally,” Luo said. “As for the device development trend, we believe that consumers prefer to purchase environmentally friendly and carbon-reducing products as we move toward the future. Consumers need more diversified choices.”

    Smoore’s new FEELM Max disposable pod line includes products featuring concepts that help minimize environmental concerns, according to the company. FEELM also published its Carbon Neutral Plan, and the company is committed to implementing increasingly high sustainability standards into its business strategy. “We are moving toward carbon neutrality,” Luo said. “It’s part of [our] strategic plan moving forward.”

    With atomization technology being the foundation for Smoore, the company is looking toward more diversification over the next five years and growing outside the vaping industry. Luo said that the company is increasing its research and development investments for atomization improvements in the medical and beauty/cosmetics industries, for example.

    “In addition to vaping products, Smoore is committed to integrating atomization technology into more industries, distributing these technologies to other industries,” Luo said. “Our medical atomization and beauty atomization products are now being tested. After their launch, they will broaden the business categories of Smoore and increase the scope of our clients. We are very excited about enhancing our future development through multiple driving incentives and wider roads. And we firmly believe that atomization makes life better.”

  • FEELM Presents Sustainable Vape

    FEELM Presents Sustainable Vape

    Smoore’s atomization platform FEELM has introduced a new sustainable product series, called Future.  

    Future  is made with recycled paper rather than plastic and its design integrates the product’s body and packaging. The device contains post-consumer recycled material and bio-based material, reducing plastic use by 60 percent and curbing carbon emissions by up to 58 percent, according to FEELM.

    After use, the product can be easily disassembled. Consumers can separate internal components, such as the battery core, plastic and e-liquid tank, and recycle them separately.

    “The series is our latest sustainable design concept, aiming to make it easier for consumers to dismantle and dispose of products responsibly, whilst solving the environmental problems caused by littering,” says Totom Lu, director of FEELM’s design team.

    The solution was developed in part with an eye on upcoming regulation. The EU for example intends to require disposable vapes to have removable and interchangeable batteries as early as 2025, according to FEELM.

    The company believes that countries should improve the collection and recycling of electronic equipment, and to make it easier for consumers to properly dispose of their vapes. In a press note, FEELM said it would welcome any initiative that could standardize the free collection of disposable vapes at the point of sale, as well as awareness initiatives to educate consumers on the importance of recycling their devices properly.
