Unlike previous products released by the OXVA brand, the OXVA Slim Stick is a pod system, rather than an open system. The distributor website Vape Sourcing describes it as "It comes with 2ml prefilled pods, which are not refillable.

The pod capacity of the OXVA Slim Stick is 2 milliliters, and the brand claims it can provide 600 puffs per fill. The product is equipped with a 1500mAh battery, which has a larger capacity.

 

In addition, each package of an OXVA Slim Stick includes one OXVA Slim Stick device and two pods, allowing users to choose their own flavors. Currently, the distributor's website shows that OXVA Slim Stick pods are available in a total of 11 flavors, including tobacco, cola ice, and various fruit flavors.

 

The appearance design is closer to the HTP device

 

In July of this year, 2Firsts noted that several e-cigarette brands have started introducing magnetic suction open devices, which are gradually moving closer to Heat Tobacco Products (HTP) in terms of design, such as the IQOS ILUMA.

 

In a recent observation, it was found that the OXVA Slim Stick and the HNB product glo Hyper share a high degree of similarity in design. Both feature a slim and vertical body with a top-inserted consumable (tobacco stick/pod) structure, as well as a metallic shell with color schemes that give off a clean and tech-savvy visual impression. Additionally, the design of the LED indicator light on the side is also similar between the two products.

 

However, in terms of functionality, the two belong to different categories. The glo Hyper is a HTP device that uses tobacco sticks for heating, while the OXVA Slim Stick is an electronic vaporizer (Vape) that uses pods filled with e-liquid.

 

This similarity in appearance and structural logic reflects a new trend in e-cigarette manufacturers' product design, which is to draw inspiration from the appearance elements and user interaction methods of HNB products to attract a wider range of consumers.

It was found that the "OXVA SlimStick Battery" and "OXVA SlimStick Prefilled Cartridge" series pods from the brand under Shenzhen Future Tech CO.,Limited were both officially announced on August 7th, with a total of 11 flavors listed for the products.

Athletes Back Skoka's $21.5 Million Nicotine Pouch Venture: Can Its Consumer Health Founder Make an FDA-Focused Strategy Pay Off?
U.S. nicotine pouch startup Skoka Inc. has raised $21.5 million and committed $15 million to an FDA regulatory and scientific research program. Founder Dan Aziz previously built dietary supplement brand Premama, which was acquired by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories in 2023. Skoka is combining proprietary formulations, ingredient transparency and equity investment from professional athletes. The company submitted a bundled PMTA covering 55 products on October 1, 2026. Aziz said Skoka declined an opportunity to enter retail in 2025, prioritizing product research and regulatory submissions instead. It now targets a U.S. retail launch in 2027, subject to FDA requirements. Its products have not received marketing authorization.
