Recently, 2Firsts noticed that the e-cigarette brand Kado Bar has launched a new e-cigarette called Kado Bar NI40000 in the U.S. market. This product is known for its adjustable ice level and nicotine levels, and is priced around $14.99.

Specifically, the product specifications of the Kado Bar NI40000 are displayed in the following table:

The main feature of Kado Bar NI40000 is its four-level ice/nicotine concentration control system, allowing users to switch between four different levels of coolness and nicotine strength. The product's digital screen can display battery and e-liquid status, as well as ice/nicotine concentration levels.


In fact, as early as October of this year, a distributor website launched the "first disposable e-cigarette with dual regulation of nicotine concentration and ice level" - OXBAR x Pod Juice ICE-NIC Control 35K. This product allows users to adjust the nicotine concentration (strong, regular, low) and ice level (super icy, medium, low or no ice) through simple button operations. (Details can be found in "Products|OXBAR releases 35,000 disposable e-cigarette with adjustable nicotine concentration and ice level")


Since the second half of 2024, several e-cigarette brands including ELFBAR, SMOK, Lost Mary, and FASTA have launched disposable e-cigarette products with flavor adjustment functions on their distributor websites in the UK and the US. This trend indicates that multi-level flavor adjustment functionality is gradually becoming a new focus of market competition. (For more details, refer to the article "Products | Flavor Adjustment Function Becoming a New Trend in E-cigarette Market, ELFBAR, SMOK, and Other Brands Introduce New Products")


A study by 2Firsts has found that the "KADOBAR" trademark belongs to Shenzhen Dawson Steam Technology Co., Ltd., which was established in February 2017. The KADOBAR official website indicates that the brand was founded in 2018 and has since launched multiple products including nicotine pouches and disposable e-cigarettes.


In December 2023, "KADOBAR" was registered by Dawson Steam Technology as a trademark for "scientific instruments" and "advertising sales"; while "KADOTHC" was registered as a trademark in the "tobacco products" category. Additionally, "KADOTHC" also applied for a design patent for e-cigarettes.


It is reported that Shenzhen's Dawson Vapor Technology Co., Ltd. owns e-cigarette brands such as DSvaping, FLUM, and Pillow Talk. Among them, the Pillow Talk brand launched a disposable e-cigarette product called Pillow Talk Nic Control NC40000 with four different nicotine strength settings in the U.S. market in November. (For more details, please refer to the article "Product | Four Levels of Nicotine Concentration Can Be Adjusted Easily? Pillow Talk NC40000 Debuts in the U.S. Market")


Currently, the Kado Bar NI40000 has been listed on various American e-cigarette distributor websites such as vapesourcing and morevaping, with a selling price of around $14.99.

EU Tobacco Tax Reform Stalls as Malta Withholds Support Despite Backing From 26 States
EU Tobacco Tax Reform Stalls as Malta Withholds Support Despite Backing From 26 States
EU finance ministers failed to reach agreement on tobacco excise reform at the November 9, 2026 Economic and Financial Affairs Council (ECOFIN) meeting in Brussels. The Irish Council presidency's compromise secured support from 26 of the EU's 27 member states, but Malta withheld consent, preventing the Council from reaching a general approach requiring unanimity. The reform would raise minimum taxes on conventional tobacco and bring e-cigarette liquids, heated tobacco and nicotine pouches into a common EU minimum excise framework. Finland and Estonia accepted further concessions during the meeting, while the presidency proposed separating the inclusion of nicotine pouches in the framework from setting their precise minimum tax rates. Another compromise would allow ten qualifying member states until 2036 to meet certain tobacco excise requirements. Ireland intends to continue negotiations in December.

Hawaii's Largest Independent Vape Retailer and Wholesaler Volcano to Close All 13 Stores Ahead of 2027 Sales Rules
Hawaii-based vaping company Volcano eCigs plans to close all 13 physical retail stores on December 31, 2026, affecting approximately 56 employees. Volcano operates retail, wholesale, proprietary product and online sales businesses and has previously described itself in legislative testimony as Hawaii's largest independent vape retailer and wholesaler. Its operating company, Jocor Enterprises LLC, filed a formal closure notice on November 4, citing changes in the state's regulatory environment. From January 1, 2027, Hawaii will restrict the sale, acquisition and possession of vaping devices and e-liquids not listed in a state product directory, alongside separate restrictions on certain disposable devices. The closure concerns Volcano's physical retail network; the company has not announced the termination of wholesale or online operations.

Vape Manufacturer Ispire Expands Malaysia Operations, Negotiates Southeast Asia OEM Deal as Nicotine Pouch and US Age-Gating Businesses Develop
Vape Manufacturer Ispire Expands Malaysia Operations, Negotiates Southeast Asia OEM Deal as Nicotine Pouch and US Age-Gating Businesses Develop
US-listed vaping technology and manufacturing company Ispire Technology reported fiscal first-quarter 2027 revenue of $27.5 million on November 9, 2026, down 9.3% year over year but up 3.2% sequentially. Gross margin recovered to 16.2%, while its net loss widened to $6.4 million from $3.3 million a year earlier. Management attributed the sales decline primarily to tighter European vaping regulation and reduced distributor orders. Ispire is expanding manufacturing in Malaysia and negotiating an OEM/ODM agreement with a Southeast Asian vaping brand, with an announcement anticipated in January 2027. The company estimates that Malaysian manufacturing offers an approximately 25% US tariff advantage over China-based production. However, it continues to purchase products from Shenzhen Yi Jia Technology Co., Ltd., a manufacturer controlled by its chairman, and reported $52 million in non-current related-party payables at September 30.

South Korea Constitutional Court Upholds Volume-Based E-Liquid Tax, With Challenged Rates at KRW 370 and KRW 628 per Milliliter
South Korea Constitutional Court Upholds Volume-Based E-Liquid Tax, With Challenged Rates at KRW 370 and KRW 628 per Milliliter
South Korea's Constitutional Court has upheld fixed taxes on nicotine-containing e-cigarette liquids based on solution volume, ruling that challenged provisions imposing KRW 370 per milliliter in individual consumption tax and KRW 628 per milliliter in tobacco consumption tax do not violate the Constitution. The cases stemmed from historical disputes involving importers that reported nicotine as being extracted from tobacco stems rather than leaves. South Korea has since broadened its tobacco definition to include synthetic nicotine, while current tax laws provide reduced rates for certain products not derived from tobacco.

Reynolds Puts Nearly 183,000 U.S. Contracted Outlets Under Age-Verification Rules, Covering 94% of Volume — Can It Shift an Unauthorized Vape Market?
Reynolds American says nearly 183,000 U.S. retail outlets are under contract, with its Retail Marketing Plan Contract covering about 94% of company volume and requiring point-of-sale age verification. The company combines those contracts with We Card, TruAge, NACS-linked infrastructure and POS integration, while enhanced Vuse Pro retail rules add ID scanning, purchase limits and stronger underage-sales accountability. The initial Vuse Pro rollout targets about 50,000 stores. The system is taking shape as unauthorized vapor products remain dominant in parts of the U.S. market: a 2026 study estimated they accounted for 69.4% of tracked brick-and-mortar e-cigarette dollar sales in December 2025.
