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.

Australia Adds 6-Methylnicotine to Schedule 9 Prohibited Substances, Effective October 1
Australia Adds 6-Methylnicotine to Schedule 9 Prohibited Substances, Effective October 1
Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration published a final decision on September 25 to classify 6-methylnicotine as a Schedule 9 prohibited substance under the Poisons Standard, effective October 1, 2026. TGA said the chemical has been reported in e-cigarette liquids sold in Australia and marketed as nicotine-free or nicotine alternatives, while evidence also indicates its use in preparations such as oral pouches. The government originally proposed a Schedule 7 classification but ultimately adopted the stricter Schedule 9 designation, citing acute toxicity, dependence risk, use in unapproved consumer products and misleading marketing.

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.

UK HMRC Launches Vape Duty Stamps on October 1, Ushering in Supply-Chain Traceability as Chinese Exporters Face New Compliance Hurdles
HM Revenue & Customs put the UK's Vaping Products Duty and Vaping Duty Stamps Scheme into effect on October 1. All vaping liquids manufactured in or imported into the UK are now subject to duty at £2.20 per 10ml, regardless of nicotine content. The stamp regime will introduce digital functionality designed to provide traceability throughout the supply chain, with approved manufacturers, importers and warehousekeepers required to report product movements and retailers and consumers eventually able to scan stamps to verify authenticity. China exported $177 million of vape-related products to the UK in August, up 51.4% year over year, increasing the significance of the new compliance regime for China's Shenzhen-centered vape supply chain.
