Three recent product launches have the vape world buzzing—and not just because of the nicotine.
One comes from a brand (Lost Vape), one from a factory (CFU Vaping Experience), and one from a state-backed giant (Hunan China Tobacco).
Different players, same message: the future of vaping is all about differentiation, transparency, and brains (the AI kind).
Lost Vape: Turning Pods into Eye Candy
For its URSA 5th anniversary, Lost Vape unveiled the world’s first 360° Galaxy-screen Pod Kit.
Think immersive visuals wrapped around a vape—full info display, interactive effects, the works.
Why it matters:
- Regulations have ended the free-for-all. Now it’s a design war, not a price war.
- Younger vapers love gadgets. Lost Vape just turned a nicotine stick into a lifestyle gadget.
Bottom line: Mid-tier brands can’t survive on cheap refills anymore; they need a look and feel you remember.
CFU: From Factory Floor to Brand Midwife
At InterTabac, CFU Vaping Experience dropped a new strategy: “one-stop vape brand incubation.”
Star of the show? The NYSM (“Now You See Me”) transparent tank.
Why it’s clever:
- Full-view tanks show every drop—catnip for customers and regulators.
- Transparent design demands precision engineering, showcasing factory muscle.
- CFU moves from quiet OEM to co-creator, helping clients build distinct products, not just boxes of hardware.
Factories aren’t hiding behind curtains anymore—they’re stepping on stage.
Hunan China Tobacco + AI: The Heat-Not-Burn Brainchild
Also at InterTabac, state giant Hunan China Tobacco, teaming with Heyuan Group, unveiled the Usonic Dual and NISE—and snagged “Best HNB Product” award.
Highlights:
- All-direction heating for perfectly even flavor.
- Tide Adaptive AI that tweaks temps and extends battery life.
- DeepSeek AI interaction: OLED screen, voice assistant, health tracking—basically a smart vape but make it tobacco.
The signal is loud: even the most traditional tobacco players are going full AI.
The Common Thread
Line these stories up and the picture is clear:
- Brands must win on experience and narrative.
- Factories must innovate in form and transparency.
- Giants must lead in tech and standards.
The next vape era = Differentiation + Transparency + Intelligence.
Design, supply chain, and AI brains will define who survives when the smoke clears.
