Fernway's Traveler e-cigarette introduces recycling program
Fernway introduces a recycling program for its new Traveler e-cigarette, promoting sustainability in the cannabis industry.

Fernway is launching a recycling program as part of their green initiative to coincide with the release of their new Traveler electronic cigarette.


The Fernway recycling program is a cannabis e-cigarette hardware recycling program offered by the state of Massachusetts. Users who purchase the Fernway Traveler from licensed pharmacies can bring the finished product back to the pharmacy and deposit it into a secure Fernway Dropbox. Fernway will then coordinate the recycling and reuse of the product in partnership with GAIACA, a leader in providing compliant solutions for cannabis waste.


Kit Gallant, CEO and co-founder of Fernway, stated, "As we develop new products, we always prioritize our customers. Therefore, we are pleased to make it easy for them to recycle their Traveler and join the conversation about sustainability in the cannabis industry.


When electronic cigarettes are sold as "disposable items," it poses a problem. It encourages people to throw them in the trash, which can contribute to environmental waste. The vast majority of our customers say that wastefulness is their biggest hesitation when it comes to electronic cigarettes, but it doesn't have to be. Customers no longer have to choose between having an excellent marijuana experience and being environmentally conscious. That's why, as part of our launch of the Fernway Traveler, we've created the Fernway Recycling Program, which is why we say the Traveler is not "disposable" but "recyclable.


Fernway Traveler is a disposable marijuana e-cigarette with an integrated battery. Gallant, the company's founder, stated, "We designed Fernway Traveler to provide customers with an undeniable high-quality product. It has various unique features such as a charging port, smart power meter, and precision-engineered oil compartment, which extends the lifespan of the oil. However, in order to truly deliver the top-notch experience people expect from Fernway, we are embracing and investing in sustainability. This is why we have created the Fernway Recycling Program - to fulfill our commitment to customers that the Fernway brand means quality, and we will always go the extra mile.


The Fernway Traveler recycling program will be launched in pharmacies across the state in July 2022.

Juul Sublicense Reshapes Vuse Alto Patent Bill as Court Ends R.J. Reynolds’ 5.25% Royalty Obligation to Altria
Juul Sublicense Reshapes Vuse Alto Patent Bill as Court Ends R.J. Reynolds’ 5.25% Royalty Obligation to Altria
According to Law360 on August 31, 2026, a federal judge in North Carolina ruled that a patent sublicense between R.J. Reynolds Vapor Co. and Juul Labs Inc. relieves Reynolds of its obligation to continue paying royalties to Altria Client Services LLC over Vuse Alto. A jury had previously found that Vuse Alto infringed three Altria patents and awarded approximately $95.2 million in past damages, after which Reynolds was ordered to pay an ongoing royalty equal to 5.25% of positive net sales. The new ruling finds that a valid sublicense can eliminate future infringement, potentially ending what Altria described as hundreds of millions of dollars in future royalties.

China’s Zhengzhou Tobacco Research Institute develops end-to-end heated tobacco analysis to trace aerosol compound origins
The Zhengzhou Tobacco Research Institute of China National Tobacco Corporation has filed a patent application for an end-to-end method to analyze the migration and transformation of chemical compounds in heated tobacco products. Using GC-Orbitrap/MS non-targeted analysis, the method compares tobacco substrate and aerosol samples to distinguish compounds transferred directly from the substrate from those newly formed during heating, while also calculating transfer rates. In an example involving nine heated tobacco products, the patent identified 17 newly formed thermal decomposition compounds and 38 transferred compounds.

South Korea Constitutional Court Upholds Volume-Based E-Liquid Tax, With Challenged Rates at KRW 370 and KRW 628 per Milliliter
South Korea Constitutional Court Upholds Volume-Based E-Liquid Tax, With Challenged Rates at KRW 370 and KRW 628 per Milliliter
South Korea's Constitutional Court has upheld fixed taxes on nicotine-containing e-cigarette liquids based on solution volume, ruling that challenged provisions imposing KRW 370 per milliliter in individual consumption tax and KRW 628 per milliliter in tobacco consumption tax do not violate the Constitution. The cases stemmed from historical disputes involving importers that reported nicotine as being extracted from tobacco stems rather than leaves. South Korea has since broadened its tobacco definition to include synthetic nicotine, while current tax laws provide reduced rates for certain products not derived from tobacco.
