Market Trend: Since the implementation of the ban on disposable products, the number of updates in the pod category in the UK MHRA database has significantly increased, indicating that the market is accelerating its transition towards reusable refillable products. In this context, VOZOL has launched the SWITCH PICO, aligning with the growing trend of refillable products in the UK market.

After the implementation of the ban on disposable products, the number of updates in the pod category in the UK MHRA database has significantly increased, indicating that the market is rapidly shifting towards reusable cartridge products. Against this backdrop, 2Firsts has noticed that several brands have already launched new cartridge products in the UK, highlighting how this product category is becoming a new battleground for brands to compete in compliance and market-driven environments.

Multiple brands are launching new refillable products in England.

Two months after the implementation of the disposable ban in the UK, major brands are now focusing on expanding their pod system kits. According to monitoring data published by MHRA in the 2Firsts product section, the UK market has seen a large influx of new pod-based products recently. In just one week from August 11th to 17th, 1156 e-cigarette SKUs were publicly listed, with pod products accounting for a staggering 1033, nearly 90 percent of the total. 

Brands such as LOST MARY, SKE, AL FAKHER, INNOKIN, PIXL, JNR, HIGO, and others have all released new interchangeable cartridge-style devices or pod products.

VOZOL recently launched a new pod system product, VOZOL SWITCH PICO, in the UK. This product is compatible with two types of pods, each with a capacity of 2 milliliters and capable of supporting approximately 700 puffs. The product has already been officially registered with the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) in the UK.

Currently, on the brand's official website, VOZOL SWITCH showcases a total of 6 e-cigarette products: SWITCH 600, SWITCH 1600, SWITCH PRO, SWITCH PRO 2, SWITCH EDGE, and SWITCH PICO.

VOZOL's launch of a new replaceable pod system reflects the overall trend of disposable products exiting the UK market and the rise of replaceable pod systems.

The device can inhale up to 700 puffs and is equipped with an HD display screen.

Firsts has collected and organized the product specifications of VOZOL SWITCH PICO, as shown in the following image:

According to reports, both the SWITCH 600 and SWITCH PRO are equipped with 400mAh batteries, while the VOZOL SWITCH PICO has a battery capacity of 1000mAh, which is 2.5 times the battery capacity of the SWITCH 600 and SWITCH PRO. The official claim is that the SWITCH 600 has a puff count of 600 and the SWITCH PRO has a puff count of 700.

The VOZOL SWITCH PICO also features a 1.3-inch HD display screen on the side of the product, which can show real-time battery levels and child lock status. According to the brand's official website, the screen can also display dynamic light effects while inhaling.
