Recently, 2Firsts noticed that the e-cigarette brand HQD has released a new product on its official website - HQD FLEX. This product combines the features of "2+10" products and "4-in-1" e-cigarettes, allowing users to adjust the sweetness or coolness while switching between flavors.

 

Specifically, the product specifications for HQD FLEX are as shown in the table below:

The key feature of HQD FLEX lies in its combination of the "2+10" product and "4-in-1" e-cigarette design, allowing for both flavor switching and adjustment functions.

 

According to the product rendering image released on the HQD official website, the HQD FLEX e-cigarette is equipped with a 2ml e-liquid cartridge on one side and a 10ml pre-filled e-liquid refill tank. The text style "SWEETNESS" suggests that this built-in e-liquid portion may contain either sweet or icy e-liquid for adjusting sweetness or coolness levels, allowing users to change the product flavor based on different power settings.

On the other side of the HQD FLEX e-cigarette, it adopts a "4-in-1" e-cigarette design, with four individual pre-filled e-liquid pods containing four different flavors of e-liquid. Users can change the product flavor by rotating a knob.

 

According to information on the official website, the HQD FLEX e-cigarette's "2+10" section allows for a choice between "Sweetness" or "Coolness," while the "4-in-1" section offers a total of six flavors to choose from.

At the British e-cigarette exhibition held in October this year, 2Firsts found that HQD showcased their innovative e-cigarette device, HQD FLEX. According to booth staff, this product made its first appearance at the British e-cigarette exhibition and will soon be available for sale in the market.

It is worth noting that the HQD FLEX showcased at the exhibition is being touted as a "5-in-1 e-cigarette," which differs in design from the product featured on the official website. The latter combines the design of the "2+10" product and the "4-in-1" e-cigarette.

 

Currently, there are several e-cigarette products on the market that have sweetness or cooling adjustment features, such as the Adjust Mysweet 40K("Lost Mary Launches Adjust Mysweet 40K with 4 Level Sweetness") from the Lost Mary brand and the SPACEMAN SP40000 from the SMOK sub-brand SPACEMAN("SMOK SPACEMAN sub-brand launches SP40000 e-cigarette in US market"). However, e-cigarettes like the HQD FLEX, which allow users to adjust sweetness or cooling while switching flavors, have not yet appeared on the market.

At the time of writing, the HQD FLEX e-cigarette is currently available on the HQD brand's official website, but has not yet been widely featured on e-cigarette retailer websites or social media platforms.

Cochrane 2026 Update Adds Nine Trials, Keeps High-Certainty Finding That Nicotine E-Cigarettes Improve Quit Rates Over NRT
Cochrane 2026 Update Adds Nine Trials, Keeps High-Certainty Finding That Nicotine E-Cigarettes Improve Quit Rates Over NRT
Cochrane’s 2026 update of its living review on electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation included 80 randomized controlled trials involving 29,861 adult smokers, with nine trials added in this update. The review retained its high-certainty conclusion that nicotine e-cigarettes increase smoking cessation rates compared with nicotine replacement therapy. In absolute terms, about 10 in 100 people using nicotine e-cigarettes may quit smoking for at least six months, compared with about 6 in 100 using NRT. The review found no clear difference in serious adverse event rates between the two groups, while longer-term safety and the relative effectiveness of newer device types remain less certain.

Product | OXVA Introduces XLIM PRO 4 With Liquid-Level Anti-Burn Technology and Dedicated Pods
Product | OXVA Introduces XLIM PRO 4 With Liquid-Level Anti-Burn Technology and Dedicated Pods
Vaping brand OXVA introduced the XLIM PRO 4 refillable pod system in October 2026, featuring Anti-Burn Tech (ABT) based on smart e-liquid-level detection. The system can issue refill alerts and stop power output when e-liquid levels become too low. ABT requires the XLIM PRO 4 device and a dedicated XLIM ABT cartridge. Standard XLIM pods remain compatible but do not support ABT protection. OXVA previously introduced temperature-based anti-burn technology in the XLIM Pro 2 DNA, developed with Evolv. The new device features a 1,800mAh battery, 5–30W output and a 0.98-inch HD color screen. OXVA's official store lists the device at $37.90 and dedicated ABT replacement cartridges at $12.99. Independent testing confirmed the low-liquid protection response but recorded varying cartridge lifespans.

Sweden Threatens EU Tobacco Tax Deal as Nicotine Pouch Duty Dispute Looms Over November 9 Meeting
Sweden Threatens EU Tobacco Tax Deal as Nicotine Pouch Duty Dispute Looms Over November 9 Meeting
Sweden is expected to oppose a European Union proposal to raise minimum tobacco excise duties, Law360 reported on October 26, 2026, citing an EU official. A provisional Council agenda dated October 23 confirms that the tobacco taxation package is scheduled for discussion at the November 9 finance ministers' meeting, where member states will seek a general approach. The proposed reforms would raise minimum taxes on conventional tobacco products and establish EU-wide excise rules for vaping liquids, heated tobacco and nicotine pouches. Sweden supports harmonising tobacco taxation rules but objects to requiring nicotine pouches to bear the same minimum tax burden as certain smoking tobacco products. As EU indirect tax legislation requires unanimous Council approval, Swedish opposition could block the proposal in its current form.
