This matchmaking meeting used live stream video to introduce foreign participating firms to China's e-cigarette enterprise-VOOPOO Technology, allowing for a thorough grasp of manufacturing, products, and cooperation modes. Overseas participating firms have a more complete and intuitive grasp of VOOPOO thanks to the full tour by the host and the head of VOOPOO Technology, through a video-rich walkthrough tour of facility and display.

Shenzhen is the worldwide e-cigarette industry hub, accounting for more than 90% of global e-cigarette supply. China's e-cigarette export volume will have surpassed 16.3 billion pounds by 2021. For many years, the United Kingdom has been a major exporter of electronic cigarette items to China. Although the global epidemic has made international travel more difficult, it cannot stymie China's e-cigarette exports or international cooperation. This time, the ECCC and UKVIA collaborated to construct a video conference, which served as a bridge between Chinese supplier firms and abroad brands and distributors, as well as promoting more direct and efficient communication between the two nations' enterprises.

On the basis of the successful holding of this conference, ECCC and 2FIRSTS will continue to unite with e-cigarette associations in the United States, Europe, Southeast Asia and other parts of the world to conduct more online live broadcasts and exchanges, and further support the export of Chinese e-cigarettes.

Despite losing a lawsuit against the Department of Revenue, WiscoFAST continues to fight the regulations, arguing that they unfairly target small businesses.
