InterTabac 2025 Insights|RELX Unveils “Vaporless” Showcase Cabinet Featuring Nicotine Airpouch and Prototype Vaporless Device
At InterTabac 2025, RELX’s oral-nicotine showcase featured leaf-shaped Nicotine Airpouch products under the WAKA, RELX, and DOSH brands, alongside a prototype “vaporless oral product.” The device produces no visible aerosol upon exhalation during light puffs and is currently for exhibition only, with no confirmed launch timeline. RELX also displayed a nose-inhaled e-cigarette that differs from conventional mouth-inhaled vaping by requiring nasal inhalation.

2Firsts, September 19, 2025, Dortmund, Germany — InterTabac 2025 runs from September 18 to 20. During the show, 2Firsts toured the halls to track new releases and industry developments, bringing first-hand intelligence and trend insights across the novel-nicotine sector.

 

On site, 2Firsts observed that the RELX booth set up a dedicated cabinet for oral-nicotine products. In addition to the leaf-shaped Nicotine Airpouch lines from WAKA, RELX, and DOSH, a “vaporless oral product” was also on display.

The product’s official name has not yet been disclosed, though multiple flavors were labeled. Its exterior follows the WAKA soReal design. After hands-on testing by the 2Firsts team, the device produced no visible exhaled vapor during small, light puffs.

 

According to booth staff, the product is currently a display sample only. It may be introduced later depending on regional customer demand, but there is no market launch plan at this time.

 

Notably, the “vaporless e-cigarette” concept has already been explored within the industry:

 

  • January 2025: NEXA launched the NEXA ULTRA InvisaCloud Edition, which the brand claims to be “the world’s first vaporless vaping device.”

 

  • April 2025: SKE introduced Cloud Zero, featuring a dual-tank design and a vaporless draw experience; in Vaporless Mode it offers a “no-vapor” inhalation option.

 

In addition, RELX showcased a nose-inhaled e-cigarette, Hoonose 1500. Following an online check, 2Firsts found that this product is already listed on e-commerce vape sites targeting Thai-language consumers. Unlike conventional mouth-inhaled atomization, Hoonose 1500 is designed to be inhaled through the nasal cavity.

UPC Court of Appeal refuses to revive VMR’s European vape patent, upholding lack of inventiveness
The Unified Patent Court’s Court of Appeal declined on Dec. 29 to revive a European patent held by VMR Products LLC, upholding a finding that the patent is not inventive over earlier devices. The decision said adding a window in the vape’s outer shell to reveal the internal cartridge holding vape liquid was an obvious, routine adaptation based on an earlier U.S. patent and general knowledge.
