Vape Local employees have reported significant losses following the recent incident of excessive nicotine levels in their e-liquid products. As suppliers to major retail chains TESCO and SAINT'S BURY, the removal of these products from their shelves has resulted in a significant loss of revenue for Vape Local. They have experienced substantial financial setbacks due to the large volume of products affected.

According to the statement, SKE's market share has increased after the relevant brands were removed from distribution. Additionally, the situation is currently manageable as the company is distributing various other popular e-cigarette brands.

According to 2FIRSTS, the dealer also brought ELFBAR 600 products to the exhibition, as well as other brands such as ELFA.

It is worth noting that VAPE LOCAL trade show also featured Altria's oral tobacco product, ON!.

Vape Local is a well-known electronic cigarette dealer in the United Kingdom, with a range of brands under its umbrella including ELFBAR, RELX, LOST MARY, SKE, ELUX, and VEEBA.
