BAT to Launch Glo Hyper Air WINNER Edition, Priced at 40,000 Korean Won
BAT Korea will release the Glo Hyper Air WINNER Edition, featuring artwork by selected artists.

According to a report by the South Korean media outlet Etoday on January 8th, British American Tobacco Korea is planning to launch the Glo Hyper Air WINNER edition.

 

Last year, British American Tobacco collaborated with the visual artist platform Pixpills in South Korea to host an art competition. Subsequently, five artworks were selected as the final winners through consumer online voting.

 

The Glo Hyper Air WINNER edition package includes one Glo Hyper Air device, a design skin featuring artwork by an artist, and a paper bag with the same artwork. The design skin can be easily attached to the device using stickers, while the product packaging also showcases the artist's work, enhancing its collectible value.

 

The Glo Hyper Air Winner Edition will be sold at 40,000 Korean Won (30 USD). It will be available in limited quantity on the Glo website, "Discover Glo," Kakao Store, Naver Smart Store, and other platforms.

Special Report|CrossBar's High-Puff Vapes Draw Attention on Pennsylvania's 163-Product Directory as Link Between Earlier 1.3mL PMTA Filings and New 13mL Products Remains Unclear
Special Report|CrossBar's High-Puff Vapes Draw Attention on Pennsylvania's 163-Product Directory as Link Between Earlier 1.3mL PMTA Filings and New 13mL Products Remains Unclear
Pennsylvania began enforcing its electronic nicotine delivery system directory restrictions on October 19, 2026. Among 163 product listings recorded before enforcement, four CrossBar 20K disposables stood out with 13mL capacity, advertised puff counts of up to 20,000 and a flattened design distinct from conventional pod systems and compact disposables. Historical records identify earlier 1.3mL CrossBar products associated with Romo LLC, while newer 13mL products appeared in several state directories beginning in 2025 under entities including Blue Nine LLC. PMTA compliance expert Mr. K identified amendments and application ownership transfers as possible regulatory mechanisms, although neither has been confirmed in this case. Separately, Reynolds' $7.5 million acquisition of 16 PACHA products and related assets illustrates the commercial value of products linked to historic PMTA submissions.
