At the e-cigarette exhibition in Malaysia, the RIFBAR booth attracted numerous onlookers. On the morning of September 7, Ray, the head of sales department at RIFBAR, was interviewed by 2Firsts.

Merge the game with e-cigarettes

 

As an emerging e-cigarette brand, RIFBAR has established influence in the markets of the United States and Europe. The highlight of its products is the built-in gaming function, allowing users to interact with games on the screen while using the e-cigarette. Users can even "connect" two e-cigarette devices and socialize with others.
