Due to strict regulations in the local market, IGNITE is focusing on promoting low-nicotine products in the German market, while simultaneously developing switchable products that comply with regulations. Lisa Kabatsky stated that there is high demand for ice-flavored products in the German market, with no strong preference for other flavors and no noticeable trends.
IGNITE has expressed their views on the future trends of e-cigarettes to 2Firsts. Lisa Kabatsky believes that smart e-cigarettes are the way of the future, with the company upgrading their v15000 model and planning to equip it with a smart side screen to cater to the market's demand for smart products. Additionally, Lisa Kabatsky stated that IGNITE is also producing n-in-1 and 2+10 products, expected to be launched in the UK and EU regions, further expanding the company's market presence.
Lisa Kabatsky criticizes the regulatory policies issued by the United States FDA, stating that they have a negative impact on industry innovation and corporate development.
