2Firsts October 30, 2026

VAPORESSO, a vaping brand owned by China's SMOORE, introduced the VAST refillable open-system vape in October 2026, according to information published on its official website and direct retail store.

The product uses Tri-Core Mesh technology to integrate three different resistance configurations into a single refillable pod. Users can switch between operating modes through the device's controls without replacing pods designed for different resistance levels.

The standard VAST features a 10mL refillable pod, a 1,600mAh battery and a maximum output of 30W. A separate TPD-labelled version combines a 2mL pod with an 8mL refill container. VAPORESSO lists an official MSRP of $25.90, while its direct store displays a price of $35.90.

Three Resistances in One Pod Support Different E-Liquid Types and Output Modes

VAST incorporates VAPORESSO's Tri-Core Mesh technology, which integrates 0.8Ω, 0.6Ω and 0.4Ω resistance configurations within a single refillable cartridge.

The three configurations correspond to ECO, NOR and PWR operating modes, each with different output and e-liquid characteristics.

According to VAPORESSO's official product information:

ModeResistanceManufacturer-specified characteristics
ECO0.8ΩPositioned for nicotine salt e-liquids, emphasizing a smoother draw
NOR0.6ΩDesigned to balance sweetness, aroma and output
PWR0.4ΩSpecified for freebase nicotine e-liquids with VG content below 70%, emphasizing greater vapor production

Users can switch between the three modes through the device's controls. Different numbers of white indicator lights identify the selected mode, and adjustable airflow allows users to modify draw resistance.

VAPORESSO positions VAST primarily for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping.

Unlike designs that require separate pods for different resistance levels, VAST consolidates the three configurations into one consumable.

The company has not disclosed detailed information about the electrical connections between the three resistance configurations or the underlying switching mechanism.

10mL Capacity and CoreGuard Coating; Manufacturer Claims Coil Lifespan of Up to 150,000 Puffs

Beyond its three-resistance structure, VAST features a 10mL refillable pod, rapid-priming design, CoreGuard coating and SSS 3.0 leak-resistance technology.

VAPORESSO claims that the device can begin operating approximately one second after filling, reducing the waiting time typically associated with priming refillable coils.

For coil durability, VAST uses CoreGuard technology. According to the manufacturer, a nanoscale coating protects the heating wire against e-liquid corrosion, improving durability and operating stability.

VAPORESSO claims that CoreGuard delivers approximately 32 times lower metal leaching and three times longer coil lifespan compared with the conditions used in its tests. However, the public product page does not fully specify the comparison baseline or testing methodology. The results have not been independently verified.

The manufacturer also claims that each VAST pod supports up to six refills, while the Tri-Core Mesh coil has achieved a tested lifespan of up to 150,000 puffs under manufacturer-specified conditions.

The 150,000-puff figure refers to the claimed tested lifespan of the coil, not the number of puffs available from a single fill.

For leak resistance, VAST incorporates SSS 3.0 technology. VAPORESSO reports testing involving 72 hours of exposure to high-temperature conditions and 15 hours of simulated aircraft cabin pressure changes.

These performance and durability figures are manufacturer-reported. Actual results may vary depending on e-liquid formulation, usage patterns and environmental conditions.

Standard 10mL and TPD Configurations; UK Device Notification Published

VAPORESSO lists two configurations for the VAST platform: a standard version and a TPD-labelled version.

The standard version includes a 10mL refillable pod, while the TPD version combines a 2mL pod with a separate 8mL refill container.

According to the official packing lists, both versions include the device and a VAST pod. The TPD configuration additionally includes a refill container.

In the UK, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) electronic cigarette notification database lists a VAPORESSO VAST device notification submitted by SHENZHEN SMOORE TECHNOLOGY LIMITED and published on October 12, 2026.

The entry, numbered 01110-26-20020, identifies the product as a refillable electronic cigarette device only and covers nine finishes, including Space Black, Space Gray, Cloudveil Blue and Cherry Red.

The published record concerns the device notification. It does not establish regulatory approval for the complete kit, refillable pods or refill containers, nor does it confirm the product's first retail-sale date in the UK.

Official MSRP of $25.90; Direct Store Lists $35.90

VAPORESSO's official product page lists an MSRP of $25.90 for VAST, while the brand's direct retail store displays a price of $35.90.

The two prices appear on different official pages. Available information does not explain the difference or establish final retail pricing and distribution arrangements across markets.

UK HMRC Launches Vape Duty Stamps on October 1, Ushering in Supply-Chain Traceability as Chinese Exporters Face New Compliance Hurdles
UK HMRC Launches Vape Duty Stamps on October 1, Ushering in Supply-Chain Traceability as Chinese Exporters Face New Compliance Hurdles
HM Revenue & Customs put the UK's Vaping Products Duty and Vaping Duty Stamps Scheme into effect on October 1. All vaping liquids manufactured in or imported into the UK are now subject to duty at £2.20 per 10ml, regardless of nicotine content. The stamp regime will introduce digital functionality designed to provide traceability throughout the supply chain, with approved manufacturers, importers and warehousekeepers required to report product movements and retailers and consumers eventually able to scan stamps to verify authenticity. China exported $177 million of vape-related products to the UK in August, up 51.4% year over year, increasing the significance of the new compliance regime for China's Shenzhen-centered vape supply chain.

Germany Probes 7.6 Million Illegal Vape Case With Estimated €33.3 Million Tax Loss; Four Chinese Manufacturer Employees Under Investigation, Some Packaging in Enforcement Images Resembles FUMOT Products
German prosecutors and customs authorities are conducting a criminal investigation into an alleged cross-border organised vape network. Authorities say that between January 2024 and March 2025, four employees of an unnamed Chinese e-cigarette manufacturer allegedly built a network of sales agents and wholesalers that brought more than 7.6 million nicotine disposable vapes into Germany, causing an estimated €33.3 million in excise-tax losses. The manufacturer has not been named. Some products visible in enforcement images have packaging resembling products from FUMOT’s portfolio. European regulatory records from 2024, FUMOT’s public overseas-sales materials and records involving German vape importer and distribution company Zamu-Pro GmbH also show FUMOT/RandM products and German distribution activity during the period covered by the investigation.

China Tobacco Zhejiang files patent for pressure-triggered, on-demand oral nicotine release
China Tobacco Zhejiang files patent for pressure-triggered, on-demand oral nicotine release
China Tobacco Zhejiang Industrial Co., Ltd. has filed a patent application for an oral nicotine delivery product designed to let users actively adjust nicotine release. The product embeds two types of nicotine reservoirs with different wall thicknesses and positions inside a deformable matrix. Pressure applied with the tongue or lips can rupture the reservoirs and accelerate nicotine release. In simulated oral tests, several patent examples showed sharply higher peak nicotine release rates as applied force increased from 0 N to 1 N and 3 N. The filing explores a shift from preset release profiles toward user-triggered nicotine delivery.
