According to public information, in early May, VEEV published 32 SKUs in the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) e-cigarette query system in the UK. These new SKUs were all applied for registration by PHILIP MORRIS PRODUCTS SA, specifically for the VEEV ONE SE, VEEV ONE, and VEEV brands.

 

 

VEEV ONE SE & VEEV ONE are Pod System Main Devices

 

 

VEEV ONE SE and VEEV ONE are two e-cigarette device SKUs categorized as "rechargeable e-cigarettes, device only", indicating that any rechargeable and refillable device should be classified as refillable category. This means that these are pod system main devices, rather than e-liquid (or pod) subtypes with specific flavors or nicotine content.
