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.

U.S. Military Could Test Nicotine Pouches and Vapes for Smoking Cessation as Washington Examiner Cites ZYN and Potential $4 Billion Reduction in Related Defense Costs
The House-passed FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act includes a provision authorizing the defense secretary to conduct a one-year smoking-cessation pilot for active-duty service members. Section 707 lists counseling, nicotine gum and patches alongside what the bill calls "electric nicotine delivery systems," nicotine pouches and heat-not-burn products. A recent Washington Examiner op-ed cited ZYN as an example in arguing for the provision, but the legislation does not name any commercial brand or supplier. ZYN is made by PMI-owned Swedish Match USA, with specified products holding FDA marketing authorizations and modified risk orders.

China's Ministry of Finance and State Taxation Administration announced on October 12, 2026, that value-added tax (VAT) export rebates for vape devices, nicotine and its salts, and certain non-combustible inhalation products will be eliminated from April 1, 2027. The measure adds four tobacco- and nicotine-related customs codes, including 8543400010, which covers vape devices and qualifying empty pods. China previously eliminated rebates for nicotine-containing vaping products and devices under code 8543400090 in April 2026. According to industry classification information held by 2Firsts, the latter currently corresponds to heated tobacco devices. Export excise tax refund and exemption arrangements will remain unchanged.

German Bundestag Passes Tobacco Tax Hikes: Vape Liquid Duty to Reach €0.44/ml, Heated Tobacco Taxes to Rise and Cigarettes Seen Near €12 a Pack
Germany's Bundestag passed amendments to the Tobacco Tax Act on October 15, 2026, setting out annual excise tax increases from 2027 through 2030 for e-cigarette liquids, heated tobacco, cigarettes and other tobacco products. Under the Finance Committee's amended bill, duty on qualifying e-liquids will rise from €0.32/ml in 2026 to €0.44/ml in 2030, an increase of 37.5%. Heated tobacco will retain its tax calculation based on 80% of the corresponding cigarette excise duty. The average price of a 20-cigarette pack is projected to approach €12 by 2030, with some brands potentially reaching €14. The legislation is projected to generate approximately €11.8 billion in additional tax revenue over four years and remains subject to further legislative procedures.
