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. This creative design that combines e-cigarettes with gaming interaction has given RIFBAR a unique positioning in the competitive market.

 

Our core belief is to encourage more social interaction through our products," explained Ray. "We aim to bring diverse fun and social elements to users.

U.S. Fifth Circuit Vacates NicQuid Vape MDO, Says FDA Comparative-Efficacy Standard Violated APA Procedures
According to VitalLaw on August 27, 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit vacated an FDA marketing denial order (MDO) against NicQuid LLC, ruling that the agency’s comparative-efficacy standard for electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) applications had become a substantive rule requiring notice-and-comment rulemaking under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). The court did not reject FDA’s authority to compare the public health benefits and risks of flavored vapes, but held that the agency could not establish a broadly binding standard through informal adjudications. The case was remanded to FDA for further proceedings.
