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.

U.S. Customs Plan to Require Foreign Export Declarations Could Deal ‘Devastating’ Blow to China’s Vape Exports, Logistics gl Expert Says
U.S. Customs Plan to Require Foreign Export Declarations Could Deal ‘Devastating’ Blow to China’s Vape Exports, Logistics gl Expert Says
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection proposal to collect foreign export declarations and other overseas customs documents could expose discrepancies in the value, classification and description of China-made vape shipments entering the United States. A veteran Chinese logistics professional told 2Firsts that the measure, if implemented, could undermine the all-inclusive shipping model used by some unauthorized vape exporters and push parts of the trade toward costlier underground channels. The risk extends beyond higher duties: accurately declared products may also be more readily identified as unauthorized e-cigarettes subject to FDA enforcement.

Exclusive Analysis | Smoore H1 Revenue Rises 19.9% Amid Growth Concentration, Profit Pressure and Slowing Momentum
Smoore’s first-half 2026 revenue rose 19.9%, but the results revealed growing structural risks beneath the headline growth. Heat-not-burn contributed about 61% of incremental revenue and remains driven largely by one core customer, while traditional vaping markets diverged, own-brand growth slowed and China enterprise revenue declined further. Gross profit and adjusted profit lagged revenue growth, while second-quarter revenue growth slowed to about 1.9%, putting greater focus on the quality, concentration and sustainability of Smoore’s expansion.

Hunan China Tobacco Industry files heated tobacco device patent featuring adult-user identification through pressure sensing
China-based Hunan China Tobacco Industry Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Baisha Technology Co., Ltd. have filed a patent application covering an adult-user identification mechanism for heated tobacco devices.
