According to the company, VLT has the following characteristics:

 

Sustainability and Eco-friendly design: VLT allows consumers to refill pods, with its eco-friendly design including rechargeable batteries and various pod sizes, aimed at reducing electronic waste; Cost and Operational Efficiency: Compared to traditional disposable e-cigarette systems, VLT's refillable pods are more cost-effective. It reduces labor costs and improves production efficiency through the Ispire ONE™ filling machine. The sealed design of VLT preserves natural terpenes in cannabis extracts to enhance product flavor and prolong shelf life; Upgraded 510 Interface Devices (510-thread experience): Offering various pod sizes, colors, and customization options, VLT's sealed pod design prevents terpene evaporation.

 

The company stated that a portion of the profits from VLT will be donated to organizations dedicated to reducing non-recyclable electronic waste, making it a plastic-neutral product.

 

Inspire CEO Michael Wang said,

 

The VLT marks a revolutionary advancement in the field of cannabis inhalation. By combining the familiarity of a 510 interface device with a multi-functional, refillable system, we are providing our partners and consumers with a truly customizable experience, while also addressing the environmental and economic challenges posed by disposable products.

 

Disposable devices are a major source of electronic waste, but through VLT, consumers not only save money but also reduce their carbon footprint. VLT offers a high-end and sustainable experience without compromising convenience and affordability. This is the ideal solution for multi-state operators (MSOs), single-state operators (SSOs), and brands seeking sustainable growth to provide consumers with smarter and more environmentally friendly alternatives to disposable products.
