Month: June 2022

ZOVOO 2022 new product launch was broadcast live worldwide on June 29. ZOVOO released 4 revolutionary new products, GENE TREE Special Edition ceramic core technology, and shared the peak performance in the electronic atomization field. The outstanding performance of ZOVOO has conquered everyone again, attracting the attention of numerous media, partners and global fans!

Let’s take a look at the new products and highlights of the event.

As the first disposable product in the DRAG family, the new DRAGBAR R6000 combines the professional vaping experience with the convenience of disposable products.

With the classic leather texture design of DRAG, it feels more comfortable and delicate. The new airflow adjustment function is adopted, comfortable vaping can be adjusted at will to meet the various needs of users.

As the industry’s first expert-grade disposable device for RDL (Restricted Direct-Lung), it breaks the traditional bottlenecks, like small cloud volume, high homogeneity and low playability, truly satisfies users’ RDL experience and brings a revolutionary stunning experience.

DRAGBAR R6000 has maximum output power 18W and upgraded 18ml super large e-liquid capacity. It is the king of disposables in terms of cloud performance, far ahead of traditional disposable pods, and even better than the open system Pod Mod.

ZOVOO offers the lightest and thinnest ceramic core disposable product– DRAGBAR Z700 GT, which adopts the latest upgraded ceramic core technology, and reconstructs a new thin and light experience.

As the latest nano-microcrystalline ceramic core independently developed by ZOVOO, GENE TREE Special Edition is the first “powder free” ceramic core proprietary patented technology in the industry. Multilayer microhole structure and special process are adopted, GENE TREE Special Edition ensures strong e-liquid control, mute vaping, non-lip-burning experience. At the same time, it achieves a high balance between high degree of reduction and delicate taste, bringing strong taste reduction.

With higher energy conversion efficiency, GENE TREE Special Edition accomplishes a total transcendence, including its super low power, super low battery consumption, more puffs, so that achieves higher energy conversion efficiency and brings you energetics in full range, and upgraded experiences of DRAGBAR Z700 GT as well.

ZOVOO adheres to continuous innovation in technology, leads the new trend of disposable market with more diversified product choices, and climbs to a new peak in the field of electronic atomization.

DRAGBAR F8000, with max 8000 puffs, follows the classic leather design of DRAG, adopts the infinite airflow adjustment system, and matches with high-performance Mesh coil. The perfect combination of fun and performance brings longer-lasting experience.

ZOVOO also released a new VINCIBAR fashion product series. VINCIBAR F2500 adopts Kevlar texture, integrates light and shadow aesthetics, elegant and comfortable. With max 2500 puffs, 15 flavours and Mesh coil design, VINCIBAR F2500 not only has excellent sensory experience, but also brings unique and outstanding taste feast.

ZOVOO is a user-oriented company, it was highly praised by the industry once it was listed at the end of 2021. Now ZOVOO is globally recognized and accepted, becoming favored by consumers. We believe that this online launch will be a new starting point. We look forward to ZOVOO launching more intelligent and forward-looking products in the future to provide better vaping experience for global users!

As of October 2021, vapers in Australia are only able to purchase vaping products from pharmacies via prescription.

Following tip-offs from local communities, last October ACT Health in collaboration with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) seized a “large number of vaping products” from three Canberra vape businesses. Upon testing, all products were found to contain nicotine, which has been banned across the country, while two thirds of the products were also found to contain prohibited substances including diacetyl, a flavouring agent believed to cause irreversible lung damage.

“It is especially concerning that two thirds of the products were not labelled as containing nicotine,” said the two groups in a joint statement. “As enforcement options are under consideration, further information on the businesses involved cannot be provided publicly at this stage,” they added.

Last year, Australia’s Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt had announced a new measure banning the importation of vape liquid containing nicotine. A few months later the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) announced their final decision on the measure, “..the importation of nicotine e-cigarettes and liquid nicotine for vaping will require a doctor’s prescription.”

To this effect, as of October 2021, vapers in Australia are only able to purchase vaping products from pharmacies via prescription. While retailers in neighbouring New Zealand and most other countries are able to responsibly sell nicotine products over the counter, anyone caught violating Australia’s harsh regulations will face steep fines, and in some cases even imprisonment.

The repercussions of the local vape ban

Many tobacco harm reduction experts have highlighted that as a result of this ban many vapers would either switch back to smoking or resort to obtaining their preferred products illicitly. “At present, only a very small number of people vaping have a prescription as is required. Most nicotine supplies are imported without a prescription or purchased from the black market. If compliance with the new arrangements is poor, then some will return to smoking while others will purchase supplies from the black market. Neither are good outcomes,” read a recent article on The Sydney Morning Herald by renowned tobacco control experts Alex Woodak and Colin Mendelsohn.

And unsurprisingly reports of such actions are already circulating. The Therapeutic Goods Act (TGA) is warning consumers to be aware of counterfeit nicotine vaping products being advertised and sold online. Similarly, the Australian Medical Association (AMA) has raised concerns about young people still being able to purchase disposable vapes illegally.

Many health and anti-vape groups have been pressuring the FDA to flat out reject any applications by Juul. In fact earlier this year, several anti-tobacco groups sent a letter to the FDA urging it to take action on the outstanding PMTAs and encouraging the agency to deny applications for flavoured vaping products.

“We write to urge the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to expedite decisions on the premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs) still pending before the agency involving the flavored e-cigarette products, including those with menthol flavoring and, based on the best available scientific evidence, deny the pending applications for all non-tobacco flavored e-cigarettes in order to protect the nation’s young people from the health harms of these products,” said the letter, which was signed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Heart Association, and the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids among others.

While entities such as the American Lung Association (ALA) and the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids said they are “deeply disappointed” that the FDA was still studying a percentage of the applications, including Juul’s. ECigIntelligence revealed that the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids has gone as far as saying that it intends to take the agency to court if it did not “immediately clarify” the timeline and reason for these delays.

The FDA should take into account that Juul has helped millions quit smoking

Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal has just reported that the FDA is actually planning to reject Juul’s PMTAs and pull the brand off the US market. “The Juul product has helped millions of smokers switch to a reduced risk alternative,” said Matt Culley, a content creator on the board of the Smoke Free Alternatives Consumer Advocacy (CASAA). “That alone should be enough for an FDA authorization. That being said, Juul has made some mistakes along the way, and they’re being forced into a group full of small businesses who are on the outside looking in.”

“The silver lining is that Juul has the money to fight the FDA, and this could potentially benefit some of the smaller businesses without a voice,” he told Filter. “The news has also clearly put vaping back in the national discussion.” While the FDA has already rejected thousands of PMTA applications and approved others, in a recent statement it said that “there’s more work to be done to complete our remaining reviews.”

In other news, given the PMTA uncertainty of the past months, and the fact that over the years Juul has been plagued by lawsuits, adverse health claims and accusations of targeting younger consumers, in October Altria stock (NYSE: MO) dropped by 3% and was at one point trading close to $49 per share.

Evart School District Joins Evergrowing Lawsuit Against JUUL

I live in Shropshire – so this story is very close to home for me…

Bomb Scare

The story starts as a “suspicious package” was found on the Muller (Yoghurt) factory site in Market Drayton Shropshire.

The police responded and the Bomb disposal experts from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) service also were in attendance.

What Caused This?

Well sadly the whole issue was caused by a broken vape!

It was then discovered that there was no risk to the public and all the cordons around the site were removed and the local branch of McDonalds could re-open.

A 100m cordon has been put in place on the A53 from the Muller Roundabout to the Tern Hill Roundabout and the McDonalds nearby has been closed. People are asked to avoid the area and seek alternative routes.

What Have We Learned Today?

Please be careful when disposing of vapes – this was a huge waste of time and resources and probably scared quite a few people too.

ZOVOO 2022 Global Online Product Launch will kick off at 10 PM (GMT+8) on June 29. ZOVOO will climb to a new peak in the vaping field with the new experience that the disposable vaping products comprehensively surpass, and define a new pattern of disposable vapes in the new era.

After ZOVOO officially released the invitation letter for the 2022 global online product launch, some overseas media have also displayed the invitation letter on their social media recently. The event will be officially held on June 29 with the theme of “Peak Performance”.

Users can watch the online event from ZOVOO official website, Instagram, Facebook and Youtube. ZOVOO will officially release the self-developed new generation of GENE TREE ceramic core technology and release the revolutionary new product DRAGBAR R6000, which is known as the 1st Disposable Pod Mod in the industry. We observed that the invitation letter said, “1000 Testers Wanted”. Everyone please pay attention to ZOVOO official Instagram (@zovoo_official). ZOVOO will select 1000 new product testers, and the selected users will have the opportunity to try the new products.

ZOVOO has been making big moves lately. ZOVOO made an amazing appearance at the Vaper Expo UK last month with DRAGBAR Star collection. With innovative and upgraded vaping technology and good brand reputation, ZOVOO won the “Best Newcomer” in the Vapouround Awards. Just six months after its listing, ZOVOO successfully emerged as a dark horse in the industry, won unanimous recognition and gained high attention from users.

ZOVOO has demonstrated part of GENE TREE technology at recent shows. We see that the newly upgraded GENE TREE has further improved the reduction degree of ceramic cores, extended the life of ceramic cores, and brought users a more natural and pleasant vaping experience. Industry speculation is that the event will officially announce the technology, as well as more detailed data to show the revolutionary experience breakthrough it brings.

Our editors guess that ZOVOO will release new disposable products with GENE TREE technology. When we got in touch with the ZOVOO PR team, it was told that ZOVOO will be releasing four new disposable products, including the 1st disposable Pod Mod DRAGBAR R6000, a ceramic core product called DRAGBAR Z700 GT. In addition, there are two new products, DRAGBAR F8000 and VINCIBAR F2500, but the official did not give specific features, just told us to keep paying attention to ZOVOO new product launch, which will reveal the mystery for all new products.

ZOVOO will take the new product launch as an opportunity to invite users around the world to jointly create and witness the peak performance of ZOVOO in the new era of vaping on June 29. More surprises are worth our expectation!
