October 27, 2026

A 2Firsts review of U.S. state vapor product directories found KUMI 6 SCENIC 50K, marketed with a formulation associated with 6-methylnicotine (6-MN), listed in Louisiana and Nebraska. Louisiana's October 2026 directory classifies 20 KUMI SIX SCENIC entries registered by Blue Nine LLC as “FDA EXEMPTION.”

The KUMI SCENIC 50K portfolio also includes a conventional nicotine-salt version. Both devices are advertised with 22mL e-liquid capacity and up to 50,000 puffs. U.S. vaping wholesaler Midwest Goods listed both formulations in an August 28, 2025 inventory update, with a suggested retail price of $19.99 each.

6-MN SCENIC Appears in Multiple State Directories, With FDA Exemption Recorded in Louisiana

State directory records reviewed by 2Firsts show KUMI 6 SCENIC listed in Louisiana and Nebraska, with 20 relevant product entries in each state.

Louisiana's October 2026 directory classifies 20 KUMI SIX SCENIC entries under Blue Nine LLC as “FDA EXEMPTION.” The state also lists 10 KUMI SCENIC entries registered by VR Products I LLC as “UNDER REVIEW BY FDA.”

Nebraska's directory includes 20 KUMI 6 SCENIC entries and 20 conventional KUMI SCENIC entries, all registered under VR Products I LLC.

Historical Louisiana records show that some KUMI SIX SCENIC products registered by Blue Nine LLC were added as early as September 5, 2025. The state's October 2026 directory continues to identify the relevant products under its FDA exemption category. Some conventional KUMI SCENIC entries were added in June 2026.

Several U.S. state vapor product directories are linked to the federal premarket tobacco product application (PMTA) framework. Historical eligibility provisions in some states refer to August 8, 2016, and September 9, 2020.

Louisiana also provides a special listing mechanism allowing its regulator to include products when manufacturers supply qualifying evidence of a formal FDA exemption from federal premarket application requirements.

The “FDA EXEMPTION” designation is explicitly displayed in Louisiana's directory. Other states use different data fields, while Nebraska's records establish that the 6 SCENIC series is also listed there. Some matching UPCs appear under different registration entities across states.

Shared 22mL, 50,000-Puff Platform Offered in Nicotine and NoNic6 Versions

The KUMI SCENIC portfolio includes the conventional nicotine-salt KUMI SCENIC 50K and the KUMI 6 SCENIC 50K, marketed with a NoNic6 formulation.

According to KUMI's official website, the 6 SCENIC features a visible e-liquid system comprising 7mL of prefilled liquid and a 15mL reservoir, providing a total advertised capacity of 22mL.

The device includes an 850mAh rechargeable battery, digital display, triple-mesh coil system and USB-C charging. The brand advertises up to 50,000 puffs.

U.S. retailer Vape City USA identifies the conventional SCENIC as a 5% nicotine-salt device and the 6 SCENIC as a 5% SFN product. The retailer describes both versions as sharing the same hardware design and similar flavor portfolios.

Specifications are based on manufacturer and retailer information. Puff counts are advertised figures. Suggested retail prices are taken from Midwest Goods' August 28, 2025 inventory update.

Both versions were offered in flavors including Baja Blue, Cool Mint, Grape Rancher, Strawberry Watermelon, Vanilla Cola and Sour Blue Gummy. The August 2025 wholesale records listed 10 flavors for each version.

Both Versions Were in U.S. Wholesale Channels by August 2025, Priced at $19.99 MSRP

Midwest Goods separately listed KUMI SCENIC 50K and KUMI 6 SCENIC 50K in its August 28, 2025 inventory update.

The conventional SCENIC was described as a 22mL disposable vape with 5% strength, while the 6 SCENIC was listed as a 22mL, 5% SFN product and described as “Nicotine Free.”

Both versions were offered in five-unit display packs, with a suggested retail price of $19.99 per device.

The wholesaler also labeled both products “Texas Compliant” in its inventory records.

At the retail level, Vape City USA displays starting prices of $17.99 for both models. The channel information reviewed shows similar pricing and flavor configurations for the conventional nicotine-salt and NoNic6 versions.

“Nicotine-Free” Used in Marketing Nicotine-Analogue Products

KUMI uses the names NoNic6 and SFN in marketing the 6 SCENIC 50K. Some U.S. distributors also describe the device as “nicotine-free.”

KUMI's materials associate NoNic6 with 6-methylnicotine, a compound chemically distinct from conventional nicotine but retaining nicotine-like pharmacological activity.

Some nicotine-analogue products have been marketed under proprietary names such as NoNic6 and Metatine, alongside terms including “nicotine-free,” “tobacco-free” and “PMTA-exempt,” emphasizing differences from conventional nicotine or tobacco-derived ingredients.

A review article published online on March 31, 2026, in the American Chemical Society journal Chemical Research in Toxicology examined the chemistry, toxicology and marketing of nicotine-analogue products, including those sold under the KUMI, Spree Bar and Outlaw Dip brands.

The review documented proprietary product names such as NoNic6 and Metatine, along with marketing terms including “tobacco-free” and “PMTA-exempt.” It also discussed the nicotine-like pharmacological activity of 6-MN and research identifying discrepancies between labeled concentrations and measured contents in some nicotine-analogue products.

Midwest Goods' August 28, 2025 inventory update provides a commercial example: it described KUMI 6 SCENIC as “SFN Nicotine Free,” listing it separately from the conventional nicotine-salt model.

Products Marketed in 2025 Continue to Appear in 2026 State Directories

Both KUMI SCENIC 50K versions had reached U.S. wholesale listings by August 2025. The two formulations subsequently appeared in state vapor product directories.

The KUMI 6 SCENIC series has been identified in at least Louisiana and Nebraska, with Louisiana's latest directory explicitly classifying 20 related entries as “FDA EXEMPTION.”

KUMI's SCENIC platform thus combines conventional nicotine-salt and NoNic6 formulations in similarly specified devices, with the 6-MN version represented in multiple state product directories.

Special Report | Can Nicotine Be Replaced? 6-MN Is Already on the Market While Key Human Evidence Is Still Missing
Nicotine analogues such as 6-methylnicotine are already appearing in e-cigarettes and oral pouches, even as key human evidence remains limited. A new Nixodine-S study adds nonclinical data showing differences from nicotine in cytotoxicity and receptor activity, while independent studies point to a more complex toxicological picture. With supply-chain activity growing and FDA seeking clearer authority over nicotine analogues, the industry now faces a larger question: what evidence is needed before these substances can credibly replace nicotine?
