VAPORESSO, a vaping brand owned by China's SMOORE, introduced the VAST refillable open-system vape in October 2026, according to information published on its official website and direct retail store.

The product uses Tri-Core Mesh technology to integrate three different resistance configurations into a single refillable pod. Users can switch between operating modes through the device's controls without replacing pods designed for different resistance levels.

The standard VAST features a 10mL refillable pod, a 1,600mAh battery and a maximum output of 30W. A separate TPD-labelled version combines a 2mL pod with an 8mL refill container. VAPORESSO lists an official MSRP of $25.90, while its direct store displays a price of $35.90.

Three Resistances in One Pod Support Different E-Liquid Types and Output Modes

VAST incorporates VAPORESSO's Tri-Core Mesh technology, which integrates 0.8Ω, 0.6Ω and 0.4Ω resistance configurations within a single refillable cartridge.

The three configurations correspond to ECO, NOR and PWR operating modes, each with different output and e-liquid characteristics.

According to VAPORESSO's official product information:

ModeResistanceManufacturer-specified characteristics
ECO0.8ΩPositioned for nicotine salt e-liquids, emphasizing a smoother draw
NOR0.6ΩDesigned to balance sweetness, aroma and output
PWR0.4ΩSpecified for freebase nicotine e-liquids with VG content below 70%, emphasizing greater vapor production

Users can switch between the three modes through the device's controls. Different numbers of white indicator lights identify the selected mode, and adjustable airflow allows users to modify draw resistance.

VAPORESSO positions VAST primarily for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping.

Unlike designs that require separate pods for different resistance levels, VAST consolidates the three configurations into one consumable.

The company has not disclosed detailed information about the electrical connections between the three resistance configurations or the underlying switching mechanism.

10mL Capacity and CoreGuard Coating; Manufacturer Claims Coil Lifespan of Up to 150,000 Puffs

Beyond its three-resistance structure, VAST features a 10mL refillable pod, rapid-priming design, CoreGuard coating and SSS 3.0 leak-resistance technology.

VAPORESSO claims that the device can begin operating approximately one second after filling, reducing the waiting time typically associated with priming refillable coils.

For coil durability, VAST uses CoreGuard technology. According to the manufacturer, a nanoscale coating protects the heating wire against e-liquid corrosion, improving durability and operating stability.

VAPORESSO claims that CoreGuard delivers approximately 32 times lower metal leaching and three times longer coil lifespan compared with the conditions used in its tests. However, the public product page does not fully specify the comparison baseline or testing methodology. The results have not been independently verified.

The manufacturer also claims that each VAST pod supports up to six refills, while the Tri-Core Mesh coil has achieved a tested lifespan of up to 150,000 puffs under manufacturer-specified conditions.

The 150,000-puff figure refers to the claimed tested lifespan of the coil, not the number of puffs available from a single fill.

For leak resistance, VAST incorporates SSS 3.0 technology. VAPORESSO reports testing involving 72 hours of exposure to high-temperature conditions and 15 hours of simulated aircraft cabin pressure changes.

These performance and durability figures are manufacturer-reported. Actual results may vary depending on e-liquid formulation, usage patterns and environmental conditions.

Standard 10mL and TPD Configurations; UK Device Notification Published

VAPORESSO lists two configurations for the VAST platform: a standard version and a TPD-labelled version.

The standard version includes a 10mL refillable pod, while the TPD version combines a 2mL pod with a separate 8mL refill container.

According to the official packing lists, both versions include the device and a VAST pod. The TPD configuration additionally includes a refill container.

In the UK, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) electronic cigarette notification database lists a VAPORESSO VAST device notification submitted by SHENZHEN SMOORE TECHNOLOGY LIMITED and published on October 12, 2026.

The entry, numbered 01110-26-20020, identifies the product as a refillable electronic cigarette device only and covers nine finishes, including Space Black, Space Gray, Cloudveil Blue and Cherry Red.

The published record concerns the device notification. It does not establish regulatory approval for the complete kit, refillable pods or refill containers, nor does it confirm the product's first retail-sale date in the UK.

Official MSRP of $25.90; Direct Store Lists $35.90

VAPORESSO's official product page lists an MSRP of $25.90 for VAST, while the brand's direct retail store displays a price of $35.90.

The two prices appear on different official pages. Available information does not explain the difference or establish final retail pricing and distribution arrangements across markets.

Latest UK ONS Data: 54% of Vapers Are Former Cigarette Smokers, 26% Also Smoke and 20% Never Smoked Regularly
Former cigarette smokers accounted for an estimated 54% of current e-cigarette users in Great Britain in 2025, while 26% also smoked cigarettes and 20% had never regularly smoked, according to a 2Firsts analysis of Office for National Statistics (ONS) data. Among former cigarette smokers who currently vape, approximately 81% used e-cigarettes daily, compared with about 50% of dual users. The ONS found that 33.8% of current cigarette smokers also vaped in 2025, up from 10.6% in 2014. Approximately 1.1 million adults who had never regularly smoked cigarettes used e-cigarettes, representing 2.9% of that population, compared with 0.2% in 2014. The figures highlight differences in the composition, frequency of use and long-term trends across Britain's vaping population.

India Steps Up Nicotine Pouch Enforcement as ZYN, White Fox Circulate and Drug Panel Urges Halt to New Nicotine Formulations
India Steps Up Nicotine Pouch Enforcement as ZYN, White Fox Circulate and Drug Panel Urges Halt to New Nicotine Formulations
India's Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has directed states to step up enforcement against nicotine pouch sales, citing increased availability through online and offline channels and concern about nicotine exposure among children. Reuters reported that international brands including ZYN and White Fox are being sold in India. A study led by ICMR-NICPR found pouches in seven of 10 surveyed locations and identified 68 brands and 445 flavors online. Separately, India's Drugs Technical Advisory Board recommended in August that no new nicotine formulation be approved.

China Tobacco Hubei explores staged nicotine pouch delivery, using dynamic membranes to slow early release and gradient particles to sustain later delivery
China Tobacco Hubei explores staged nicotine pouch delivery, using dynamic membranes to slow early release and gradient particles to sustain later delivery
China Tobacco Hubei Industrial Co., Ltd. disclosed several oral nicotine-related patent applications in August 2026, including two that approach staged nicotine release from different directions. One uses a high-viscosity membrane that forms inside the pouch after contact with saliva to slow rapid early release, while the other uses gradient particles with a faster-disintegrating outer layer and a slower core to create a fast-to-sustained release profile. Together, the filings explore how nicotine pouches could balance initial delivery with release later in use.
