Yinghe Technology answers investors' questions on e-cigarette market plans, focusing on overseas operations and new brand promotion.

Recently, Shenzhen Stock Exchange-listed company Yinghe Technology answered investors' questions on an interactive platform.

 

Sikary has No Plan to Go Public, MEMERS to Promote in Key Markets

 

An investor inquired about whether the company's e-cigarette products are listed in the domestic market, what the policy threshold is for domestic listing, and the long-term planning for the domestic market.

 

In response, Yinghe Technology stated that its holding subsidiary, Shenzhen Sikary Technology Co., Ltd., has been engaged in the e-cigarette business. Since 2022, Sikary has been focused on developing its own brand business and has achieved good development in the UK and other European countries. However, at present, the main focus is on overseas markets, and Sikary currently has no plans to go public.

 

Another investor inquired about the progress of the company's new brand, MEMERS, in developing in the US market.

 

Yinghe Technology responded by stating that MEMERS is a new brand recently launched by Sikary, with plans to promote and sell in select key global markets, while also warning investors to be cautious of potential risks.

As for the investor's concerns about the sales of e-cigarettes in China and the company's plans for the upcoming year, Yinghe Technology mentioned once again that its subsidiary, Sikary, has been heavily developing its own brand business since 2022, primarily operating in overseas markets with no mention of domestic sales plans.

 

What is the New Brand MEMERS?

 

It is worth mentioning that in an article introducing MEMERS, it is stated that MEMERS is inspired by internet "MEME" culture, embodying enjoyment, creativity, and social engagement. It is mentioned that "MEMERS VAPE is not just an e-cigarette brand; it is a cultural bridge connecting different individuals."

 

It made its debut at the TPE in the United States from January 31 to February 2, 2024, where it showcased two products: Switcher S20000 and Melody ME18000. Later, from March 23 to 25, it also participated in the VAPEXPO exhibition in Paris.

 

According to available information, SWITCHER S22000 is a disposable product that can accommodate two 12ml pods separately, providing approximately 22,000 puffs in total, and it also offers a dual flavor version. Another product, Melody ME18000, has no publicly available information.

 

According to information from YingHe Technology, Sikary has no plans to list domestically, and the MEMERS brand plans to promote its products in key markets.

MEMERS plans to launch a series of innovative products in the first and second quarters of 2024, including disposable, open, and closed systems.

 

The article mentions, "These products, especially those utilizing artificial intelligence technology, are expected to completely change the e-cigarette experience."

 

According to findings by YingHe Technology, artificial intelligence refers to the "HiSMK" e-cigarette industry artificial intelligence knowledge graph developed by SKE. It is claimed that this platform, supported by AI technology, interacts with users, engages in e-cigarette cultural exchange and services, and utilizes AI big models to continuously evolve consumer demand, ultimately realizing the full-chain functionality from consumer ideas to consumers (I2C).

 

Additionally, according to a message from the MEMERS official website on April 9, Memersvape has launched a disposable e-cigarette Memers M18000 with 18,000 puffs. According to YingHe Technology's findings on Vapehopping, a professional e-cigarette online store targeting the U.S. market, the product is listed as "COMING SOON."

 

YingHe Technology: Sikary has no plans to list domestically, and the MEMERS brand plans to promote its products in key markets.

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.

As Regulators Focus on Nicotine Pouch Child Safety, Safeguard Pursues an External Packaging Route
As regulators pay closer attention to child safety in nicotine pouches, manufacturers face a practical challenge: how to strengthen child-resistant packaging without unnecessarily reworking products, production lines and regulatory submissions already in place. In a written interview with 2Firsts, Chemular detailed Safeguard’s external packaging approach, its customer-specific testing requirements and possible PMTA pathways. The model remains early-stage, but it offers a new way to think about an increasingly important regulatory and manufacturing issue.

Philip Morris Malaysia Again Meets Religious Authority Over Cigarette Alternatives as Perlis Mufti Responds on Halal Criteria
Philip Morris Malaysia Again Meets Religious Authority Over Cigarette Alternatives as Perlis Mufti Responds on Halal Criteria
Philip Morris Malaysia Managing Director Naeem Shahab Khan met Perlis Mufti Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin on September 17 and presented the company's shift from conventional cigarettes toward alternative products. The mufti said a product could be considered halal if it is clean, its side effects are not harmful or can be controlled, and it does not involve excessive waste. His remarks did not mention IQOS or any other specific PMI product and did not amount to a new product-specific religious ruling. It was at least the second publicly reported engagement between Philip Morris Malaysia and a Malaysian religious institution over cigarette alternatives within six months.

Australia Adds 6-Methylnicotine to Schedule 9 Prohibited Substances, Effective October 1
Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration published a final decision on September 25 to classify 6-methylnicotine as a Schedule 9 prohibited substance under the Poisons Standard, effective October 1, 2026. TGA said the chemical has been reported in e-cigarette liquids sold in Australia and marketed as nicotine-free or nicotine alternatives, while evidence also indicates its use in preparations such as oral pouches. The government originally proposed a Schedule 7 classification but ultimately adopted the stricter Schedule 9 designation, citing acute toxicity, dependence risk, use in unapproved consumer products and misleading marketing.
