Electronic Vape Detector Ordered for Clovis School System
Clovis schools in New Mexico have ordered 75 e-cigarette detectors to detect smoking, THC use, fighting, and gunshots.

Clovis school system's high schools have ordered electronic cigarette detectors on August 10th.


Loran Hill, Senior Operations Director of CMS, has announced the order of 75 electronic cigarette detectors at a cost of $1,300 each. These devices, in addition to detecting e-cigarettes at Clovis High School and Middle School, can also detect cigarette smoke, THC use, fights, and gunfire.


They look like smoke detectors," Hill said. Whenever any illegal activity occurs, the sensors will notify the office through an application or email. Hill and Jay Brady, the assistant director of operations, technology, and athletics, discussed the development of the school system and the issuing of a request for proposals (RFP) for devices that can detect guns brought into schools.


Hill also discussed the issue of bullet-resistant glass in schools, while Brady talked about problems with the geothermal heating systems at James Bickley, Lockwood Elementary, and Gadsden Middle schools. "There are multiple issues," Brady said. "The water circulating in the system is dirty, and the system is accumulating a lot of air. We need to bring in experts from Albuquerque.

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.

U.S. Health Groups Seek to Overturn FDA Enforcement Discretion for Pending PMTAs as Altria's Helix, NJOY and AVM Move to Intervene
American Vapor Manufacturers (AVM) and Altria subsidiaries Helix Innovations and NJOY filed separate motions on October 7, 2026, seeking to intervene on the FDA's side in a lawsuit challenging its enforcement guidance for certain e-cigarette and nicotine pouch products with pending premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs). Seven public health and tobacco-control organizations, including the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, sued the agency in July to overturn the policy. AVM argues that vacating the guidance could disrupt orders, inventory, retail distribution and investments in regulatory submissions.

The pattern points to a growing lower-capacity tier in the UK market, although the brands have not all explicitly linked the changes to the new duty.

STIIIZY Redesign Fails to Escape PAX Labs Patent Import Ban as Section 337 Case Also Involves China ALD
STIIIZY Redesign Fails to Escape PAX Labs Patent Import Ban as Section 337 Case Also Involves China ALD
U.S. Customs and Border Protection ruled that STIIIZY had not shown that the redesigned cannabis-vape products covered by its latest request fall outside an ITC limited exclusion order tied to PAX Labs patents. CBP accepted some of STIIIZY’s claim-construction and non-infringement arguments, but the company did not address two additional claims in the same patent. Earlier STIIIZY redesigned cartridges and certain associated components imported with them had received separate CBP clearance.
