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.

EU ‘TPD3’ Enters Next Phase on Aug. 14 as Fragmented Vape and Nicotine Pouch Rules Push the Single Market Toward Regulatory Overhaul
A 12-week European Commission consultation on revising the Tobacco Products Directive and Tobacco Advertising Directive is due to close on Aug. 14, 2026. The Commission has identified e-cigarette flavours, disposable vapes, tobacco heating devices, nicotine pouches, nicotine-free e-cigarettes, packaging and digital marketing among areas for possible new EU rules. National regulations already vary significantly across the bloc, a fragmentation the Commission says creates internal-market barriers and distorts competition. No formal revised TPD/TAD legislative text has yet been published, with the Commission currently indicating December 2026 for the legislative initiative.
