Vaporesso becomes authorized e-cigarette brand in UAE
VAPORESSO becomes the first approved open-system e-cigarette brand in the UAE, allowing legal sales of its products in the country.

Vaporesso, a brand under the international company Smoore, has announced that it has received authorization from the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to sell its electronic cigarettes in the country. Vaporesso is the first open-system e-cigarette brand to receive this approval.


The United Arab Emirates has implemented laws regulating the sale of electronic cigarettes, e-liquids, and tobacco products containing nicotine. The regulations require manufacturers and companies of electronic cigarette devices to meet the standards of the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA) before they can enter the market. This standard includes strict quality and safety requirements for electronic cigarettes and related products.


Vaporesso's electronic cigarette products, including Xros Nano, Xros Mini, Xros 2, and ZERO S, have received preliminary approval from the United Arab Emirates' Ministry of Transport. This allows the company to establish legal sales channels both online and offline, demonstrating their commitment to providing the market with top-of-the-line electronic cigarette products with unparalleled quality and functionality.


We are pleased that MoIAT has granted us the marketing and sales authorization for our flagship product. This strengthens our confidence in obtaining approval for our other seven high-quality products, including the Luxe X and GEN PT SERIES that we are currently applying for," stated the Vaporesso Middle East team.


VAPORESSO has a strong track record in developing some of the best electronic cigarette devices on the market. Its XROS series has earned high praise within the industry due to its ergonomic design and expert craftsmanship. Looking ahead, VAPORESSO aims to reach a new milestone in the United Arab Emirates as it continues to push the boundaries of cutting-edge electronic cigarette technology to enhance the safety, reliability, and quality of its products.
