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.

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.
