Since nicotine vapes first hit the market in 2007, the United States has been the lead driver of innovation and consumer adoption of these products, worldwide.
But while the U.S. is still the largest market for vaping products, anti-vaping zealotry and regulatory insolence has all but destroyed the legal U.S. vaping industry. Case-in-point FDA’s recent ban on Juul.

Joining us today for a deep dive into the impact of FDA’s Juul ban and to discuss how the War on Vaping harms consumers is Alex Clark, CEO of CASAA, the national consumer advocacy organization for smoke-free alternatives.

What does the Juul ban mean for consumers? Find out!

Innokin Klypse Wins Several International Vaping Awards

Q2 typically marks the start of the international vape exhibition circuit, providing manufacturers with the opportunity to showcase the future of next-generation nicotine across major global markets.

Among thousands of new products released each year, only a select few are recognised by industry experts with coveted international awards. The pod system category continues to be the most competitive in vaping hardware, as manufacturers are keen to provide new vapers with the best entry-level devices possible.

Industry veterans Innokin have enjoyed a bumper start to the 2022 exhibition season, with their Klypse pod device picking up three awards across three major international events.

Success for Innokin’s new Klypse device started with winning “Best Pod” at Vapexpo Spain. The Innokin Klypse stood out for its exceptional vaping performance and build quality.

Innokin’s success continued at the World Vape Show Dubai. The Klypse won “Best Pod” with performance, reliability and affordable price point being highlighted as reasons for the honour.

Most recently, the Innokin Klypse was awarded “Best Pod Vape” by Vaping Post, the number one vaping publication in France.

In addition, the Vapouround Awards are the UK’s largest vape award ceremony and is a tastemaker for the industry.

The gala-style event, which runs along side The UK Vaper Expo, is attended by more than 400 key decision makers in the vaping and FMCG sectors each year.

Innokin had their most successful evening at The Vapouround Awards since it started more than seven years ago, coming away with three top honours.

Innokin’s Z-Force tank, with innovative DuoPrime coil technology, claimed third place in the “Best DTL Tank” category.
Innokin’s Zenith II tank, which allows consumers to explore the full range of industry-leading Z-coils, took second place in the “Best MTL Tank” category.
Innokin’s biggest recognition was first place in the “Best Sustainable Initiative” category, for their new disposable product Aquios Bar, made in collaboration with Aquios Labs.

Aquios Bar is an innovative disposable vaping device that combines Aquios Labs’ water-based vaping technology with sustainable product design. Unlike other disposable vaping devices, Aquios Bar can be disassembled after use, allowing for easy recycling of most components.

After a promising start to the exhibition and awards season, Innokin are set to continue their investment in beginner level hardware and water-based vaping technology, with partner Aquios Labs.

Commenting on the awards haul, George Xia, Innokin co-founder said: “It is a privilege to be recognized by fellow industry veterans, especially as we focus on transitioning smokers with simple, affordable devices. We have been greatly encouraged by the consumer reaction to our new releases and look forward to gathering more feedback in the remainder of the exhibition season.”

Can’t wait to be back at what has become one of my favorite vape events on the scene… The Hall of Vape!

Stop by and see me and my Greek brother Dimitris Agrafiotis at the Innokin booth, A02!

Can we stand being at ONE MORE EVENT together? Will there be bickering and ball busting? Oh you know it!!

As discussed on RegWatch over the past year, it appears Health Canada is taking a wrong turn on nicotine vaping.
In a few short years, the regulatory framework, which legalized vaping, seems to have collapsed under the weight of a moral panic over teen vaping and malicious public health messaging linking nicotine vapes to a mysterious respiratory illness.

Dr. Jonathan Foulds, Professor of Public Health Sciences and Psychiatry at PennState University College of Medicine is joining us today to provide insight on the recent restrictions placed on vaping in Canada.

Anti-vaping activists cling to many shibboleths in their war on vaping, including nicotine vaping is a gateway to smoking, dual-use is a danger negating e-cig quit attempts, and vaping is an ineffective tool to quit smoking.

But thanks to a growing body of research investigating e-cigarette use and smoking cessation, they are becoming tired and worn.
Joining us today on RegWatch is Dr. Jonathan Foulds, Professor of Public Health Sciences and Psychiatry at PennState University College of Medicine. Dr. Foulds is a trained clinical psychologist and has spent most of his career developing and evaluating methods to help smokers beat their addiction to tobacco.

Over the past months, several new research studies have released with surprisingly positive results regarding the most contentious issues around e-cigarettes.
One study indicates that adult smokers who switch to e-cigarettes may have more chances to improve their health and well-being.

Joining us today to discuss the study are Dr. Rick Kosterman and Dr. Marina Epstein, research scientists from the Social Development Research Group at the University of Washington. Their study found better physical health, increased exercise, and more active social engagement. Amazing!

But is there a catch? Find out.
