An INCREDIBLE night for Innokin at the Vapouround Awards 2022!

Best Sustainable Initiative Winner: Aquios Bar – The first and only water-based vape made to be recycled.

Best MTL Tank 2nd Place: Zenith II – The tank that changed the MTL scene, compatible with all Z-Coils.

Best DTL Tank 3rd Place: Z-Force – The tank that introduced DuoPrime coils, for unmatched wicking speed, e-liquid saturation and flavour production.

Vaping technology has the power to create positive change in the lives of millions of smokers across the world. In the UK, smoking prevalence is estimated at 78% amongst homeless adults, compared to 13.8% in the general population.

With this in mind, Innokin & Vape Dinner Lady are partnering to donate two hundred MVP Pod kits and four hundred bottles of e-liquid to Simon Community Scotland, a homelessness community outreach charity based in Glasgow and Edinburgh. We hope this first donation can be the start of a long-term project that reaches vulnerable smokers across the UK.

Simon Community Scotland works to combat the causes and effects of homelessness. A range of services and initiatives are offered across Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Central Scotland. Street outreach teams work within these communities to provide accommodation and housing support to people who are sleeping rough or are at risk of becoming homeless and have been doing so for over fifty years.

Two hundred MVP Pod kits and four hundred bottles of e-liquid will be distributed by Simon Scotland to smokers who otherwise would not have access to vaping products or would not have the necessary support network to start a transition from combustible tobacco. We aim to gather feedback from the initial donation, which will help gain an understanding of the specific challenges of the initiative and make further donations in the future.

As a leading global manufacturer of vaping devices and e-liquids, we now feel it’s time to take action on smoking, especially in vulnerable communities. We are extremely grateful to Dinner Lady for their fantastic support of the initiative.

George Xia, Innokin Co-founder said: “Innokin’s mission has always been to help people improve their lives and offer less harmful alternatives to adult smokers. Many smokers in the UK don’t know how or can’t afford to switch from smoking to vaping. Partnering with Vape Dinner Lady and a charity like Simon Scotland gives us the opportunity to make a real positive impact.”

Commenting on the donation, John Taylor, Dinner Lady Chief Marketing Officer said: “This is our first collaboration with Innokin and we are delighted to be supporting Simon Community Scotland in this way.

In the UK more than two thirds of homeless adults smoke and lack the necessary support network to switch. Together with Innokin, Dinner Lady can help by providing the very best vaping products the market can offer”.

Our partnership with Dinner Lady and Simon Scotland aims to reduce the overall consumption of cigarettes throughout the homeless community in Scotland, with a view to reaching more smokers and regions in the future.

Want to help? You can make life better for people suffering from homelessness in Scotland. Donate to Simon Scotland today.

With the comment period now closed for the legislative review of Canada’s Tobacco and Vaping Products Act, Canadian vapers again find themselves in “wait-and-see mode.”

It’s hard to believe, but this month is the fourth anniversary of nicotine vaping products becoming legal in Canada. It’s been a brutal four years, and much of the blame lies at the feet of Canada’s health regulator.
Joining us today to discuss Health Canada’s wrong turn on vaping is Martin Cullip, International Fellow at the Taxpayers Protection Alliance and prolific writer on harm reduction policy issues for major publications such as InsideSources, Center Square, Townhall, and Filter.

Innokin Launches “Lota” Water-Based Vaping Devices

The vaping industry veterans hope to cause waves with water-based vaping technology

Innokin Technology has announced the launch of a new arrival to their industry-leading lineup of vaporizers. Introducing Lota: Innokin’s all-new sub-brand pushing the boundaries of performance, reliability, and innovation within the entry-level vaping sector.

Innokin’s Lota is set to shake up the vaping space by combining Innokin’s decade plus of industry-leading  innovation expertise with Aquios Labs: a new technology firm that enables water-based e-liquid.

The partnership offers Lota an innovative new technology and approach to closed vaping systems. Aquios Labs’ first generation of water-based vape juice, AQ30, supports 30% water content. Water-based vaping delivers smoother vapour and faster satisfaction compared to traditional vaping systems, which also reduces the dehydrating qualities of vapour. In addition, water-based vapes operate at a lower temperature compared to their traditional counterparts, which allows for greatly increased chemical stability during the vaping process.

Water-based technology and e-liquids result in a vaping experience that no other device can replicate, with no leakage, enhanced flavour clarity and faster nicotine satisfaction. These strengths paired with Innokin’s manufacturing experience catapult Lota into the spotlight of the disposable vape sector.

Lota will initially launch with a portfolio of three water-based devices, each with their own position for specific global markets and consumer needs: the Lota Enviro, F600, and Prefilled Pod Kit.

The Lota Enviro is a disposable device with a clear mission to reduce the carbon footprint of typical disposable vapes. Enviro achieves this with a unique paper shell design using recyclable materials and user-recyclable components. After the Enviro has been fully depleted, the device can be disassembled by the end user, and every component aside from the e-liquid reservoir can be fully recycled. The Enviro launches with 10 flavours and provides a 600-puff lifespan with 2ml e-liquid capacity for TPD markets.

The Lota F600 is Lota’s flagship disposable vaporizer, targeted for TPD markets. Offering stylish, comfortable soft-touch surfaces and lightweight simplicity, it represents the ideal entry to vaping for transitioning smokers. The F600 features a 600-puff lifespan and delivers constant 3.6V output, which means consistent performance from the first puff to the last.

Rounding off Lota’s launch is the Lota Prefilled Pod. The Lota Prefilled Pod Kit integrates revolutionary Aquios water-based vaping technology into a closed pod system with a rechargeable battery. Each 2ml pod is designed to last for 600 puffs and the battery provides constant 3.6V output for a consistent vaping experience throughout each charge cycle.

Commenting on the launch, Innokin Technology Co-Founder George Xia said: “Innokin has always believed in embracing new technology. When first introduced to Aquios Labs, our product development team was impressed with the unique advantages of water-based vaping. Through this exciting partnership, Innokin is proud to launch the Lota brand, offering high performance water-based vaping in our continued quest of tobacco harm reduction across the globe.”

“A new study published today in the scientific journal Addiction has found that approximately 8.6% of adolescents reported using e-cigarettes (vaping) in the past 30 days, but only 1.7% engaged in frequent vaping. This suggests most adolescents who vape are experimenting but not making it a habit. Researchers from the University of Queensland (Australia) wanted to estimate as far as possible the global prevalence of adolescent vaping. The researchers analyzed data from 151,960 adolescents in 47 countries who participated in the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) Global Youth Tobacco Survey between 2015 and 2018. The overall weighted prevalence of adolescent vaping and frequent vaping in the past 30 days was 8.6% and 1.7% respectively. While some e-cigarettes contain high levels of nicotine, adolescents can also vape non-nicotine or low nicotine e-cigarettes and avoid becoming addicted. Future WHO surveys should ask participants to disclose whether nicotine is in the vaping liquids they use.”

“A bill that would have banned the sale of most flavored nicotine products in Colorado failed to get out of a Senate committee Tuesday, effectively killing it for this session. House Bill 1064 would have banned all flavored tobacco products and nicotine liquids, except “premium cigars” and hookah tobacco. Amanda Wheeler , president of the American Vapor Manufacturers, released a statement praising the Senate appropriations committee’s vote not to advance the bill. “Colorado rejecting the flavor ban is a signal for other jurisdictions to refocus public health efforts on what works — vaping,” she said. “Nicotine vaping is the single most effective smoking cessation method ever devised. A coalition called Flavors Hook Kids vowed to try again next year.”
