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.

Canada Health Minister Says She Is Not Considering Looser Nicotine Pouch Retail Rules as PMI-Linked Group Pushes for Wider Access
Canadian Health Minister Marjorie Michel says she is not considering loosening retail restrictions on nicotine pouches.

Meanwhile, Unsmoke Canada, linked to Philip Morris International's Canadian business, is pushing to allow pouches in convenience stores and other general retail outlets. Health Canada also acknowledges continued unauthorized sales, while recent research shows rising pouch use among Canadian youth aged 16 to 19.
