From Emphasizing Adjustability to Quantifying Metrics: Brands Like GEEKBAR and MR FOG Launch Refined Flavor Products
Since the second quarter of 2025, a new trend has emerged in the e-cigarette market, with a focus on detailed flavor descriptions. Brands such as GEEKBAR, MR FOG, and PYNE POD have launched new e-cigarette and e-liquid products. Instead of emphasizing overall adjustable flavor functions, these brands now provide detailed labels for each flavor, including levels of coolness, sweetness, and throat hit, as well as customized PG/VG ratios, offering more specific flavor information to consumers.

Main points of the article:

 

·Fine-tuning flavor descriptions: E-cigarette brands such as MR FOG, GEEKBAR, PYNE POD, and others have introduced products with more detailed flavor descriptions, including notes on cooling sensations, sweetness, throat hit, and other dimensions. 

·Innovative flavor combinations: MR FOG's NOVA BLUE RAZZ STEEZY mixes blueberry with 16 other fruits and a cool icy flavor for a unique twist. 

·Customized PG/VG ratios: GEEKBAR's NIC SALT e-liquids are customized with different PG/VG ratios based on flavor, such as 60PG/40VG for Cherry Ice. 

 

Since the latter half of 2024, the e-cigarette market has seen a wave of technological innovation, with many brands introducing dual or triple tank e-cigarette products with flavor adjustment capabilities. Observations by 2Firsts indicate that in the second quarter of 2025, leading e-cigarette brands like GEEKBAR, MR FOG, and PYNE POD have further expanded their offerings by introducing more detailed e-liquid and e-cigarette products on top of their existing adjustable flavor options.

 

"Adjustable Flavor" Products Lose Steam

 

In the second half of 2024, several well-known brands including ELFBAR, LOST MARY, SMOK, and OXBAR have all introduced e-cigarette products with multiple adjustment functions. These products primarily focus on temperature adjustment, nicotine concentration adjustment, and sweetness adjustment, with some brands even offering more specialized adjustment modes such as acidity adjustment, spiciness adjustment, and dual-flavor mixing adjustment. The product form has also evolved from simpler dual-tank e-cigarettes to three-tank e-cigarettes.

 

As of February 2025, several brands have introduced e-cigarettes with four adjustable settings for ice level, sweetness level, nicotine concentration, and voltage output (read more).

 

However, according to observations from 2Firsts, it has been found that since 2025, major brands have essentially completed the layout of their "flavor adjustable" products, and the market heat is gradually stabilizing, with a noticeable slowdown in the speed of new product launches.

 

Trend Towards More Detailed Flavor Descriptions Becoming Apparent

 

As we enter the second quarter of 2025, 2Firsts has noticed that many e-cigarette brands, including GEEKBAR, MR FOG, and PYNE POD, have enriched and detailed their product flavor descriptions. They have added multiple flavor intensity standards such as "Coolness," "Sweetness," and "Throat Hit.

 

2Firsts collected several representative products, such as the NOVA BLUE RAZZ STEEZY and NOVA MINT STEEZY e-cigarettes from MR FOG; the Click 66K from Pyne Pod; and the NIC SALTS e-liquid from GEEK BAR. These products have innovated in terms of flavor refinement and diversity.

E-cigarette brand MR FOG recently showcased two new products on its official website: NOVA BLUE RAZZ STEEZY and NOVA MINT STEEZY. These products are both extensions of the "NOVA ORIGINAL" series, with the former featuring a blueberry flavor and the latter focusing on the mint flavor series.

At the "Global Tobacco Innovation and Technology Symposium" held by 2Firsts on February 2, 2025, the product editor gave a keynote speech on "New Year, New Trends: 2025 e-cigarette New Products and Trends," predicting the core trends in the e-cigarette market for 2025. With the dual impetus of technological innovation and regulatory upgrades, the e-cigarette market outside the TPD standard will focus more on "innovative breakthroughs," creating unique consumer experiences through upgrades in visuals, flavors, tactile sensations, and other aspects to form competitive barriers. The trend of detailed flavor descriptions of e-cigarette products is confirming 2Firsts' previous predictions. (Read more)

How Large Is France’s Off-Channel Tobacco Market? Logista Says It Has Become Structural, While the Official Estimate Is 17.7% and Some Industry Studies Put It Above 50%
How Large Is France’s Off-Channel Tobacco Market? Logista Says It Has Become Structural, While the Official Estimate Is 17.7% and Some Industry Studies Put It Above 50%
Logista France says tobacco consumption outside France’s official tobacconist network has become a large and structural market phenomenon, but official and industry estimates differ sharply. France’s TAFE study estimates that 17.7% of tobacco consumption escaped domestic taxation in 2023, with most of that volume attributed to cross-border purchasing rather than street sales. Some industry studies use broader off-channel definitions and put the figure above 50%. Meanwhile, French Customs seized 547.94 tonnes of tobacco in 2025, up 12%, showing continued pressure from illicit trade.

From Nicotine Salts to Cocrystals: China’s Shenzhen Huabao institute explores a more stable form for sustained nicotine release
China-based Shenzhen Huabao Collaborative Innovation Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd. has filed a patent application for a nicotine-ascorbic acid cocrystal, exploring a new solid-state form of nicotine. The patent proposes applications across e-liquids, heated tobacco sticks, oral tobacco, chewing tobacco and snuff. In nicotine pouch tests disclosed in the filing, cocrystal formulations showed less than a 6% decline in nicotine content after three months of accelerated storage and a release profile combining early-stage release with sustained delivery over 60 minutes. The filing reflects exploration of nicotine forms beyond conventional nicotine base and nicotine salts.

UK PM Andy Burnham Reshapes Vape Retail Rules as Licensing Could Raise Barriers for New Shops
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is pushing a high street reform agenda that could give local authorities greater powers over commercial activity, including vape retail. The reforms could involve expanded planning powers and a potential vape retail licensing system, allowing councils to play a larger role in store locations and market access. The measures are part of the UK’s broader shift toward tighter vape regulation, although no nationwide vape retail restrictions have yet been implemented.
