More Brands Move Toward “U.S.-Made” Disposables

 

 

In November 2025, brands including SKE, FASTA, and NEXA successively introduced “U.S.-made” disposable e-cigarette products:

 

  • SKE launched the V-BOT disposable, promoted on its official website as “U.S.-made” with domestic blending and filling.
  • FASTA introduced the FASTA ALIEN 51K on U.S. online channels; distributor Mi-Pod stated the device is “assembled and filled in the U.S.” and marked as compliant with Texas vapor product registration requirements.
  • NEXA released the NEXA FLEX disposable, marketed as “U.S.-made” and developed specifically for U.S. adult vapor consumers.

 

In a special report published in early November — “Special Report | After the Shortage: How the U.S. Vape Market Is Rebuilding Itself” — 2Firsts noted that tightening regulations are pushing Shenzhen manufacturers to explore “U.S. manufacturing” as a new pathway. The acceleration of such initiatives through late November further reinforces this trend. 2Firsts will continue to track policy developments, supply-chain adjustments, and market changes.

Germany Probes 7.6 Million Illegal Vape Case With Estimated €33.3 Million Tax Loss; Four Chinese Manufacturer Employees Under Investigation, Some Packaging in Enforcement Images Resembles FUMOT Products
German prosecutors and customs authorities are conducting a criminal investigation into an alleged cross-border organised vape network. Authorities say that between January 2024 and March 2025, four employees of an unnamed Chinese e-cigarette manufacturer allegedly built a network of sales agents and wholesalers that brought more than 7.6 million nicotine disposable vapes into Germany, causing an estimated €33.3 million in excise-tax losses. The manufacturer has not been named. Some products visible in enforcement images have packaging resembling products from FUMOT’s portfolio. European regulatory records from 2024, FUMOT’s public overseas-sales materials and records involving German vape importer and distribution company Zamu-Pro GmbH also show FUMOT/RandM products and German distribution activity during the period covered by the investigation.

NAS 2026 | Cliff Douglas: Risk Continuum Should Play a Central Role in Tobacco Policy
Cliff Douglas, a veteran U.S. tobacco-control and public health policy figure, told NAS 2026 that the “continuum of risk” should play a central role in tobacco policy. He called for clearer market pathways, stronger risk communication, differentiated regulation and enforcement, and said possible FDA reforms to PMTA reviews could be a “welcome correction” if they create a more efficient, predictable route for scientifically substantiated lower-risk products.
