On September 15th, the second day of the Dortmund Tobacco Expo, 2FIRSTS noticed that ELFBAR, a prominent brand, was once again absent from the exhibition, just like last year. However, four retailers were showcasing their products.
The four distributors showcasing the ELFBAR product are Drip Hacks LTD, Ex-Trade GmbH & Co. KG, E-ZIGARETTE-HANDEL.de, and Ertugrul Trading FZCO. They hail from Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates.

According to 2FIRSTS, staff members from the ELFBAR brand were also present at the E-ZIGARETTEN-HANDEL.DE exhibition booth. The main markets for distributor E-ZIGARETTEN-HANDEL.DE are Germany and Austria. Representatives from the company explained to 2FIRSTS that many small distributors in Germany have gone out of business within three months after the introduction of higher taxes, and many brands have also faced limitations. Germany has many intricate and inflexible details regarding packaging and compliance information, which significantly increase costs. In Austria, packaging that is compliant in Germany may not meet regulations and requires rebranding. Additionally, the procedure for obtaining new product compliance is more complex and time-consuming compared to other countries.
ELFBAR also has reloading products, according to distributor companies. They claim that the acceptance of reloading products in Germany is higher compared to other markets, as consumers value cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits.
