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.

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.

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.

Indonesia's Influential Islamic Body MUI Urges Vape Permit Freeze, Raising Uncertainty for 200 Manufacturers
Indonesia's Influential Islamic Body MUI Urges Vape Permit Freeze, Raising Uncertainty for 200 Manufacturers
Indonesia's Ulema Council (MUI) published Fatwa No. 131/2026 on November 9, declaring electronic cigarette use, production and trade haram under Islamic religious rules. The council urged the Industry Ministry to prohibit the issuance of vape industry permits and review licensing policies, while calling on the president and parliament to enact a comprehensive ban. On November 10, the Constitutional Court heard a challenge to provisions of the 2023 Health Law seeking a prohibition on vape production, importation, distribution and use. The Health Ministry said on November 11 it was studying stronger restrictions, including a possible ban on circulation, while industry association APVI called for tighter oversight rather than a total ban. Indonesia's Industry Ministry previously estimated the sector comprises about 200 companies, Rp31 trillion ($1.7 billion) in cumulative investment and approximately 100,000 supply-chain jobs. No nationwide statutory ban has been enacted.

Why Does JPMorgan Favor BAT Over Philip Morris Despite Forecasting Slower Growth of 3.9% Versus 6.2%?
Why Does JPMorgan Favor BAT Over Philip Morris Despite Forecasting Slower Growth of 3.9% Versus 6.2%?
JPMorgan resumed equity research coverage of British American Tobacco (BAT), Philip Morris International (PMI) and Imperial Brands in November 2026, assigning BAT an Overweight rating and the other two companies Neutral ratings. The bank forecasts like-for-like sales growth of 3.9% for BAT and 6.2% for PMI in 2027, but estimates the two companies will trade at approximately 11 times and 21 times 2027 earnings, respectively. JPMorgan cited BAT's improving position in US nicotine pouches and vaping products as a driver of its investment outlook. BAT reported a 220% constant-currency increase in US modern oral nicotine revenue in the first half of 2026, while PMI's ZYN US shipments returned to growth in the third quarter. Imperial expects NGPs to represent 4% to 5% of sales and has expanded its oral portfolio through acquisitions.

Texas Extends Tobacco Tax Interpretation to a 6-Methylnicotine Product, Citing VELO Ruling
Texas Extends Tobacco Tax Interpretation to a 6-Methylnicotine Product, Citing VELO Ruling
The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts ruled in September 2026 that a combustible product made with non-tobacco plant material and 6-methylnicotine (6-MN), a synthetic nicotine analog, qualifies as a taxable tobacco product. The applicant said the product contained neither tobacco leaf nor measurable conventional nicotine. The determination applies reasoning from a May Texas Supreme Court decision involving VELO nicotine pouches, finding that the plant material and 6-MN together perform the functions of tobacco in a conventional smoking product. The ruling carries applicable tax, licensing and reporting obligations but is limited to the facts submitted by the taxpayer. It does not establish a blanket tax classification for all 6-MN products or extend the same conclusion to e-cigarettes.

Malaysia's Poisons Board Backs New Vape Nicotine Exemption After Unanimously Opposing 2023 Proposal
Malaysia's Poisons Board Backs New Vape Nicotine Exemption After Unanimously Opposing 2023 Proposal
Malaysia's Poisons Board has endorsed Health Minister Dzulkefly Ahmad's proposal to exempt liquid nicotine used in vaping products from the Poisons List, according to a November 2, 2026, report by CodeBlue. The Board unanimously opposed a similar proposal in 2023, but the government proceeded with the exemption. The Kuala Lumpur High Court invalidated the 2023 decision in May 2026, and the government withdrew its appeal in August. No new ministerial order has been published. The development raises questions about the interaction between Malaysia's two regulatory frameworks and the treatment of RM354.51 million in excise duties collected on e-cigarette and vape products between May 2023 and June 11, 2026.
