【By 2Firsts】On May 22, 2Firsts noticed that the well-known American e-cigarette distribution platform DEMANDVAPE has officially launched a registration system and explicitly stated that it is only open to enterprise users.

 

On its official website homepage, DEMANDVAPE prominently states in bold red font:

 

"DemandVape.com is a business-to-business (B2B) wholesale website. Please log in with your approved credentials to access your wholesale account, or click on the 'Continue' button below to register for a new account."

It is worth noting that before this, DEMANDVAPE was a platform open to all users, allowing them to browse all product information without the need for registration.

 

Meanwhile, DEMANDVAPE has added a longer warning statement to the bottom of its homepage, addressing health risks associated with nicotine use, battery safety tips, and user responsibilities:

 

"Warning: This product is intended for use only by individuals aged 21 and older. Children, pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, those at risk, or currently taking antidepressants or asthma medication should not use this product. If you have allergies or sensitivities to nicotine or any inhalable ingredients, consult a doctor before use. This product is for recreational use only and is not a smoking cessation product, nor has it been tested for smoking cessation efficacy. Nicotine is highly addictive, so keep this product out of reach of children. This product contains nicotine, which has been classified by the state of California as a harmful substance that may cause birth defects or other reproductive harm."

In addition, the warning also detailed the potential risks of lithium batteries and put forward a number of safety operation suggestions, including avoiding the use of unapproved charging equipment, not charging unattended, using fireproof containers, and avoiding mixing battery brands and models. The warning pointed out that improper operation could lead to overheating, explosions, personal injury, or even death.

 

Finally, DEMANDVAPE reminds customers that the prices listed on the website are base prices, and prices may slightly increase after selecting certain configurations.

 

It is worth mentioning that 2Firsts also discovered that another well-known American e-cigarette distributor website, MIDWEST DISTRIBUTION, has also implemented a registration system, restricting access to only approved corporate clients.

PMI Launches Fourth IQOS Convenience-Store Discount of 2026 for Black Friday in Japan, Cutting ILUMA i ONE to About $19 After Ploom AURA Fell to About $9
Philip Morris Japan launched its fourth confirmed nationwide convenience-store discount campaign for IQOS ILUMA i devices in 2026 on October 26, cutting three models by as much as ¥2,000, or about $12.70. The campaign began one day after JT ended a promotion that reduced Ploom AURA to ¥1,480, or about $9.40. JT says Ploom's share of Japan's heated-products category rose from 10.9% in January 2024 to 18.3% in June 2026, a gain of 7.4 percentage points, while PMI says IQOS still held about 68% category share in the third quarter. At the same time, Japan's two-stage heated-tobacco tax adjustment has pushed stick prices higher, leaving device discounts as an increasingly important tool for lowering the upfront cost of customer acquisition.

JUUL Purchasers Ask Ninth Circuit to Preserve Antitrust Classes in Case Over Altria’s $12.8 Billion Investment
JUUL Purchasers Ask Ninth Circuit to Preserve Antitrust Classes in Case Over Altria’s $12.8 Billion Investment
Private antitrust litigation stemming from Altria's 2018 $12.8 billion investment for a 35% economic interest in JUUL is advancing before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Direct purchasers, indirect purchasers and indirect resellers of JUUL products filed answering briefs this week seeking to preserve class certifications granted by a California federal court in February. Altria and JUUL argue that individual consumers and large distributors differ too much in purchasing terms to remain in a single direct-purchaser class, while a separate dispute concerns whether California antitrust law can apply to indirect purchasers across 27 jurisdictions. A September trial has been put on hold during the appeal.
