JSTE's Response to JFT Regarding Debt Situation: False Allegations, Litigation Underway
JSTE Technology Mr. Liu De Wen responds to JFT's creditor letter, claiming it contains falsehoods. The full statement follows.

On June 6th at noon, Mr. Liu Dewen, the head of JSTE Electronic Technology (Dongguan) Co., Ltd., publicly responded to the "Letter to Creditors" released by JFT, stating that the letter contained falsehoods.

 

The complete response is as follows:

 

JFT Company confirmed in a December 2021 email that they had acquired a 50% stake in our JSTE factory, but they suddenly changed their minds in September 2022 and decided to sell their stake instead of acquiring it. They officially exited JSTE in January 2023 and received a significant amount of money from the stock transfer.

During the equity exit process, JFT company confirmed the value of over 60 million worth of JUSTFOG brand e-cigarettes under the original processing agreement, but they have been delaying payment and not taking delivery. After several months of dragging their feet, they suddenly notified of the termination of the processing partnership, leaving Jest in a difficult situation.

 

However, the European agents of JFT company continue to authorize domestic licensed trading companies to request small batches of JUSTFOG branded e-cigarettes for sale. Unfortunately, this led to a criminal charge of trademark infringement by JFT, claiming that the e-cigarettes produced under the original agreement were unauthorized. The malicious intent behind this action is surprising, and this absurdity cannot be justified. Jast company reserves the right to hold the criminal plaintiff accountable for their legal responsibility.

 

Subsequently, Jast Company employed legal methods such as litigation and arbitration to seek compensation, and successfully obtained an injunction to preserve JFT Company’s registered trademarks (such as JUSTFOG) in China, as well as its fully-owned subsidiary’s bank accounts and patents related to the e-cigarette business in China. The breach of contract case is scheduled to be heard in the near future.

 

At the same time, Gest also filed a patent confirmation lawsuit to the court. During the cooperation between both parties, JFT appointed a research and development manager who established a labor relationship with Gest, and transferred numerous patents to its wholly-owned subsidiary, severely infringing on Gest's rights.

 

As a leading media and think tank in the field of atomization technology, 2FIRSTS closely monitors the latest developments on this issue and maintains contact with various parties.

As JUUL2 Wins FDA Authorization, Harm Reduction Journal Highlights the Role of Real-World Evidence in Nicotine Product Regulation
As JUUL2 Wins FDA Authorization, Harm Reduction Journal Highlights the Role of Real-World Evidence in Nicotine Product Regulation
A commentary published in the international open-access, peer-reviewed Harm Reduction Journal argues that randomized controlled trials remain central to evaluating smoking cessation efficacy but cannot alone capture real-world uptake, complete switching, longer-term use and population impact of non-combustible nicotine products such as e-cigarettes, heated tobacco and nicotine pouches. The authors frame impact as “reach × efficacy” and call for real-world evidence to complement RCTs. Three days after publication, the FDA authorized three JUUL2 products and highlighted complete switching among adult smokers in explaining its decision, providing a timely regulatory backdrop to the debate.

The UK’s Vaping Products Duty (VPD), scheduled to take effect in October 2026, is prompting retailers to assess how different vape categories may be affected.

The estimates highlight how a volume-based tax structure creates uneven cost impacts across product categories.

Germany Probes 7.6 Million Illegal Vape Case With Estimated €33.3 Million Tax Loss; Four Chinese Manufacturer Employees Under Investigation, Some Packaging in Enforcement Images Resembles FUMOT Products
German prosecutors and customs authorities are conducting a criminal investigation into an alleged cross-border organised vape network. Authorities say that between January 2024 and March 2025, four employees of an unnamed Chinese e-cigarette manufacturer allegedly built a network of sales agents and wholesalers that brought more than 7.6 million nicotine disposable vapes into Germany, causing an estimated €33.3 million in excise-tax losses. The manufacturer has not been named. Some products visible in enforcement images have packaging resembling products from FUMOT’s portfolio. European regulatory records from 2024, FUMOT’s public overseas-sales materials and records involving German vape importer and distribution company Zamu-Pro GmbH also show FUMOT/RandM products and German distribution activity during the period covered by the investigation.

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.
