Recently, 2Firsts received a reader submission stating that "Starbuzz, the largest local hookah brand in the United States," has recently launched a disposable hookah-style e-cigarette called Starbuzz Super Max 15K. This product is equipped with a ultra-low 0.5% nicotine concentration and has landed on the websites of multiple e-cigarette retailers in the United States.


Specifically, the main specifications of the Starbuzz Super Max 15K are as follows:


In recent times, the global e-cigarette market has seen the emergence of a variety of new disposable water pipe-style e-cigarette products, including new offerings from well-known brands such as Lost Vape, VOZOL, HQD, and Starbuzz Super Max 15K. These products mainly focus on large puff counts and low nicotine concentrations as the primary trend. It is worth noting that despite Starbuzz Super Max 15K also featuring a super low nicotine concentration of 0.5%, it only offers 15,000 puffs, which is relatively low compared to similar products. (For more details, please refer to the article "Inventory | Overview of New Disposable Water Pipe-style E-Cigarette Products: Low Nicotine and High Puff Counts Taking the Lead.")


According to the official website of the Starbuzz brand, it was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Southern California, USA. The brand has stated that it is dedicated to providing the highest quality products in all aspects of the hookah industry.


Currently, the Starbuzz Super Max 15K has landed on major e-cigarette distributor websites in the US such as demandvape, vapezilla, and texashookah, with prices around $15. However, the product has not yet been launched on the official Starbuzz website.

FDA Appoints Former Tobacco Enforcement Deputy Jessica Zeller as Director as Agency Weighs PMTA Framework Changes
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has named Jessica Zeller director of the Center for Tobacco Products' (CTP) Office of Compliance and Enforcement (OCE), effective November 1, 2026. Zeller, the office's inaugural deputy director, returns from medical device manufacturer Edwards Lifesciences with more than 20 years of regulatory and legal experience. The appointment follows CTP leadership changes and adjustments to tobacco regulation. Bret Koplow became permanent CTP director in September; the FDA revised enforcement priorities for unauthorized e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches in May and announced faster PMTA review procedures. On September 28, the agency said it would evaluate changes to the existing PMTA regulatory framework, including potential rulemaking to replace it.

Philip Morris Malaysia Again Meets Religious Authority Over Cigarette Alternatives as Perlis Mufti Responds on Halal Criteria
Philip Morris Malaysia Again Meets Religious Authority Over Cigarette Alternatives as Perlis Mufti Responds on Halal Criteria
Philip Morris Malaysia Managing Director Naeem Shahab Khan met Perlis Mufti Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin on September 17 and presented the company's shift from conventional cigarettes toward alternative products. The mufti said a product could be considered halal if it is clean, its side effects are not harmful or can be controlled, and it does not involve excessive waste. His remarks did not mention IQOS or any other specific PMI product and did not amount to a new product-specific religious ruling. It was at least the second publicly reported engagement between Philip Morris Malaysia and a Malaysian religious institution over cigarette alternatives within six months.

How Large Is France’s Off-Channel Tobacco Market? Logista Says It Has Become Structural, While the Official Estimate Is 17.7% and Some Industry Studies Put It Above 50%
How Large Is France’s Off-Channel Tobacco Market? Logista Says It Has Become Structural, While the Official Estimate Is 17.7% and Some Industry Studies Put It Above 50%
Logista France says tobacco consumption outside France’s official tobacconist network has become a large and structural market phenomenon, but official and industry estimates differ sharply. France’s TAFE study estimates that 17.7% of tobacco consumption escaped domestic taxation in 2023, with most of that volume attributed to cross-border purchasing rather than street sales. Some industry studies use broader off-channel definitions and put the figure above 50%. Meanwhile, French Customs seized 547.94 tonnes of tobacco in 2025, up 12%, showing continued pressure from illicit trade.
