From a technical standpoint, the AF 30K HYPERMAX ADVANCED is a multi-stage pod-based e-cigarette with a 2+10+10 design. It has a total e-liquid capacity of 22 milliliters and claims to be able to provide up to 30,000 puffs. This translates to approximately 1363 puffs per milliliter of e-liquid.

The nicotine concentration of the AF 30K HYPERMAX ADVANCED is 6mg/ml, with a battery capacity of 850mAh. The concentration and battery capacity are considered low-end in the water smoking-style e-cigarette market.

 

It is worth noting that in the "Latest Approved List of UK E-cigarette" released on July 9 by 2Firsts, multiple SKUs from the brand AL FAKHER were listed. These SKUs have a nicotine concentration of 6mg, with puff counts ranging from 5K to 30K, and primarily feature fruit/sweet flavors.

In addition, the battery capacity of the Al Fakher Mini 3K is 550mAh, which is relatively low.

 

The AF 30K HYPERMAX ADVANCED and Al Fakher Mini 3K products offer 45 and 38 flavors respectively, providing more flavor options compared to traditional water pipe-style e-cigarettes.

 

 

Equipped with two 10-milliliter pods, the products are labeled with QR codes for instructional videos

 

In June of this year, the AF 30K HYPERMAX ADVANCED was also showcased as a sample at the "Dubai e-cigarette expo sample sharing event" held by 2Firsts.

 

The AF 30K HYPERMAX ADVANCE e-cigarette kit consists of a main device and two 10ml pods, which need to be assembled by the user. The 2Firsts team assembled the product for the first time and then disassembled it for further examination. The product's structure is complex and difficult to disassemble after assembly, with a high level of difficulty in reassembly.

The packaging of the AF 30K Hypermax Advanced product includes a silicone mouthpiece that can be assembled for use. Additionally, there is a QR code sticker on the outside of the product packaging. The sticker contains information about the importer, and scanning the QR code allows users to view an instructional assembly video on YouTube.

The European distributor website has been accessed

 

AAL FAKHER is a well-known traditional hookah brand from the United Arab Emirates. At a Dubai trade show in June, the head of its electronic hookah business told 2Firsts that AAL FAKHER's electronic hookah business is leveraging its traditional strengths in the Middle East, with its main markets currently focusing on the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. Sales have been particularly strong in countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and Egypt; while in European countries with a large Muslim population like Germany and France, AAL FAKHER has also gained high brand recognition thanks to its foundation in traditional hookah products.

 

Currently, the AF 30K HYPERMAX ADVANCED e-cigarette has landed on European vape retailer websites such as vapeverse and ninja-vape, with a selling price of approximately 11.45 British pounds.

 

The Al Fakher Mini 3K has also been launched on the UK e-cigarette distributor website vapesourcing. The device and pods are sold separately, with the device priced at around £4.99 and pods priced at £3.99 each. Each pod pack contains 2 pods.
