Flavor-adjustable e-cigarettes trend as ELFBAR, SMOK launch new models
Disposable e-cigarette brands like ELFBAR and SMOK introduce flavor-adjustable products, setting a new trend in the UK and US markets.

According to an investigation by 2Firsts, since late September, several e-cigarette brands, including ELFBAR, SMOK, Lost Mary, and FASTA, have introduced disposable e-cigarettes with flavor adjustment features on distributor websites in the UK and US. These products typically come with multi-level adjustment settings, hinting at a potential new focus for market competition.

 

Previously, flavor variation in e-cigarettes primarily involved flavor-switching mechanisms, with many brands offering “rotating mouthpiece” models allowing users to switch between two flavors. In early September, the disposable e-cigarette Insta Max 20K 20000 appeared on multiple UK sites, featuring a double-tap button function that enables users to switch flavors or activate a mixed flavor mode.

 

Now, flavor competition is intensifying, with an increasing number of e-cigarettes offering multi-level and multi-mode flavor adjustments.

 

From higher puff counts to screen upgrades, from smart features to added hardware like “Bluetooth earbuds,” the disposable e-cigarette market is marked by continuous “innovation” in an ever-competitive landscape. The question remains: “How many more surprises are yet to come?”

 

 

Main Trends: Cooling Level Adjustment and Flavor Mixing

 

 

2Firsts compared several recently launched flavor-adjustable e-cigarette products and found that the primary trends focus on two forms: adjusting the “cooling intensity levels” and the “dual-flavor mixing ratio.”

 

Specifically, representative products with cooling level adjustments include FASTA Burrst 35000 and SPACEMAN SP40000.

The most basic flavor adjustment uses buttons, allowing users to switch flavors by pressing or toggling settings. Another method, gaining popularity with larger screens—especially “3D curved screens”—is touch control for flavor adjustments. (Read more: The Rise of 3D Curved Screen E-cigarette Products)

South Korea's Tobacco Plan Excludes 6-Methyl Nicotine as Customs Tightens Import Controls and Analog Liquid Imports Fall 83%
South Korea's Tobacco Plan Excludes 6-Methyl Nicotine as Customs Tightens Import Controls and Analog Liquid Imports Fall 83%
South Korea's government unveiled its first Tobacco Harm Management Basic Plan for 2027–2031 on October 29, 2026, proposing broader testing of vaping and heated tobacco products while excluding nicotine analogs such as 6-methyl nicotine. Synthetic nicotine came under tobacco regulation on April 24, and a June investigation found 6-methyl nicotine in 12 liquid inhalation products marketed as nicotine-free. Customs data released in September showed that imports of nicotine analog solutions fell 83.3%, from 12 metric tons in January–April to 2 metric tons in May–August. By September 20, imports had reached approximately 15 metric tons for the year, with 99.99% originating from China. Customs authorities have tightened pre-clearance testing and supply-chain documentation requirements, while the MFDS expects to complete its assessment of nicotine analog hazards by the end of 2026.

India Duty-Free Nicotine Pouch Sales Face Regulatory Test as ZYN, FOX Classification Remains Open
India Duty-Free Nicotine Pouch Sales Face Regulatory Test as ZYN, FOX Classification Remains Open
The Bombay High Court has ruled that airport duty-free shops are not exempt from India's domestic regulatory laws merely because they operate beyond the customs barrier, leaving in place a sales halt covering ZYN and FOX nicotine pouches at Mumbai's international airport. The court, however, did not determine that the products necessarily qualify as "drugs" under India's Drugs and Cosmetics Act. The retailers have four weeks to submit product information to the appropriate authorities, including CDSCO, which must complete its review within 30 days of receiving the submissions.

DATA|UK Retail Research Group IGD Says Convenience Tobacco and Vape Sales Fell 10.6%, With 15.4% Market Share Versus Alcohol's 15.1%; Top Rank at Risk in 2027
Combined tobacco and vaping sales in UK convenience stores fell 10.6% year over year in the first half of 2026, making the category a major drag on channel performance, according to retail research organization IGD. Total convenience sales declined 1.2%, while sales excluding tobacco and vaping increased 0.7%. IGD's 2026 category-share figures show tobacco and vaping accounting for 15.4% of convenience sales, compared with 15.1% for alcohol. The organization forecasts alcohol could overtake tobacco and vaping as the largest category by sales value as early as 2027 if current trends continue. IGD expects the convenience market to increase from £48.6 billion in 2026 to £54.9 billion in 2031, a 2.5% compound annual growth rate, or 3.4% excluding tobacco and vaping.

South Korea Constitutional Court Upholds Volume-Based E-Liquid Tax, With Challenged Rates at KRW 370 and KRW 628 per Milliliter
South Korea Constitutional Court Upholds Volume-Based E-Liquid Tax, With Challenged Rates at KRW 370 and KRW 628 per Milliliter
South Korea's Constitutional Court has upheld fixed taxes on nicotine-containing e-cigarette liquids based on solution volume, ruling that challenged provisions imposing KRW 370 per milliliter in individual consumption tax and KRW 628 per milliliter in tobacco consumption tax do not violate the Constitution. The cases stemmed from historical disputes involving importers that reported nicotine as being extracted from tobacco stems rather than leaves. South Korea has since broadened its tobacco definition to include synthetic nicotine, while current tax laws provide reduced rates for certain products not derived from tobacco.
