HQD showcased multiple new products at the exhibition. One of these products, a screen-display e-cigarette, was introduced by Mark.

Mark, a spokesperson for HQD, recently commented on the company's successful products in the Russian market. According to Mark, HQD has a range of popular products, with the best-selling item being the "HQD ULTIMA PRO." This particular product boasts an impressive 10,000 puffs and offers a smoother smoking experience. Another notable product is the "HQD Click," which is a refillable device and ranks among the top three best-selling items in the HQD product line.

 

Regarding the e-cigarette market in Russia and the comprehensive e-cigarette regulation policy implemented in the country this year, Mark emphasizes that HQD has always been strictly abiding by the legal requirements. However, he points out that due to the existence of a considerable percentage of the "gray" market in Russia, not only does it violate the principles of fair competition, but it also negatively affects HQD's market share. Mark states that this is a problem commonly seen in the industry, but HQD remains optimistic about the future.

 

Mark further expressed that although the e-cigarette industry is currently facing a series of challenges, HQD firmly believes that, just like the alcohol industry once did, the e-cigarette industry will also experience improvement in the coming years. This is why HQD started the company's transformation and adaptation process even before the implementation of regulatory policies.

 

Finally, Mark shared HQD's plans for the Russian market next year. He emphasized that the main task of the coming year is to ensure that all partners' distribution networks can fully adapt to the new regulatory changes. This initiative aims to ensure HQD's sustained growth in the Russian market and create more opportunities for the future.
