YouTube has been constantly attacking my channel for two months. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen. They fix one thing then a few days later they give a new strike. They literally have algorithms striking you for a vape site URL on the box of a product you’re reviewing. The last two I got strikes for don’t have any QR codes or links on packaging that lead to sites that actually sell the goods but they hit me anyway.

Anyway, I have two strikes right now. One more and I’m gone. Please follow my Twitter (Matt From SMM) and retweet my tweets directed at YouTube. It’s much appreciated. If these two strikes stick I’m basically going to have to delete majority of my videos and I’ll be looking to hire a few people to help me comb through the rest and find any offending material.

Also, I’m dipping my toes into the job market. I have lots of sales and marketing experience. Also a quick learner. If you know of anything let me know.
Thanks for listening to my pity party today lol

Innokin is adding to the success of the Klypse by adding some additional gradient colors that are coming soon!

From Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch

There is one issue with the potential to unite anti-vaping campaigners with pro-vaping advocates and business owners in the Canadian vaping industry, and that issue is enforcement.

Both sides in the battle over vaping want to stop teen use of nicotine vaping products, yet the laws intended to prevent teen access are doing tremendous damage to the retail vaping industry while often going unenforced.

Joining us today to discuss the struggles of Canadian vape retail is Jason Flynn, Ontario-based owner of Vape Escapes retail vape shops, owner of Refined Liquid Labs, and current Board Member at the Canadian Vaping Association.

Is tobacco enforcement doing enough to stop teen vaping?

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.

A federal appeals court issued a temporary stay Friday blocking a nationwide ban on Juul Labs’ electronic cigarette products, just a day after the Food and Drug Administration ordered Juul merchandise to be pulled off store shelves due to marketing concerns. Juul argued in a court filing Friday that the FDA ban was unlawful, calling it an “arbitrary” ruling that has nothing to do with safety. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals judges who issued the stay Friday did not rule on the merits of Juul’s argument, but determined the company could continue selling its products while the case proceeded in court.

“The Food and Drug Administration is expected to announce that Juul electronic cigarette products can no longer be sold in the United States as soon as Wednesday. The FDA’s campaign to police Juul e-cigarette products has been years in the making. The agency targeted the company for its role in perpetuating a new wave of teenage nicotine use, driven by appealing flavors. Juul conceded to the FDA in 2019 when it pulled all fruit and dessert flavors from the market, though it was permitted to keep marketing menthol- and tobacco-flavored nicotine pods used in the vaping device.

The FDA’s move to pull Juul from the market clears the way for its biggest competitor, Reynolds American, to dominate the e-cigarette market. The FDA declared last fall that four of its Vuse e-cigarettes that use tobacco flavoring could remain on the market after the company successfully demonstrated to the agency that the product offered smokers a less harmful means of satisfying nicotine cravings. Juul products account for 40% of the e-cigarette market, while Reynolds has about 28%“

BIG TOBACCO VAPE MARKET SHARES

“”“This now leaves question marks over the likely outcome of the BAT PMTA (premarket tobacco application) for Vuse Alto,” said Jefferies’ Bennett. “You could make a case this is also at risk given the most recent youth tobacco survey showed its underage prevalence greater than Juul’s.” If the FDA were to also reject British American Tobacco’s application, it would be a “very strange decision,” as it would mean the two biggest brands would be off the market, leaving only one player in the popular pod segment in NJOY.

“If BAT is indeed approved, this would be a big positive as it would then be the largest player by a material distance (NJOY overall market share currently less than 1%),” he wrote.”

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!!
