2Firsts, September 2, 2025 — According to Maeil, BAT Korea announced that it has completed a full upgrade of its Neo stick series designed for glo hyper, applying StickSeal technology across all 10 products.

BAT Korea explained that StickSeal technology seals the tip of the stick to prevent tobacco leaf residue from falling into the device, keeping the glo hyper unit clean without the need for a separate brush. The technology has been gradually introduced since February 2025, and with the renewal of “Tobacco Switch,” the upgrade is now complete across the entire product lineup.

The renewed “Tobacco Switch” retains its tobacco flavor while featuring a unique capsule design that, when crushed, delivers a refreshing cooling sensation to enhance the smoking experience.

The updated Neo series for glo hyper is now available at major convenience stores and tobacco retailers across South Korea at a suggested retail price of KRW 4,800 (USD 3.45).
