Contributive Research

RLX has been investing heavily in R&D this quarter, as revealed in its Q3 report. 

Previously the medical SCI journal "Nicotine and Tobacco Research" published the results of the first domestic clinical study on e-cigarettes, confirming that the nicotine pharmacokinetic characteristics of e-cigarettes are close to those of cigarettes and may be used to alleviate "withdrawal reactions". It is understood that the study was initiated and funded by Shenzhen Wuxin Technology Co., Ltd, RLX's Chinese company, and was the first e-cigarette clinical research project in China registered in the China Clinical Trials Registry (ChiCTR) and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (WHO ICTRP).

Adaption to the New National Standard

"During the third quarter of 2022, we remained dedicated to preparing for a smooth transition to the new national standards, which came into full effect on October 1, 2022. Specifically, we wound down shipments of our older products and gradually switched to the National Transaction Platform on a regional basis. We have now achieved full geographical coverage nationwide," said Ms. Ying (Kate) Wang, Co-founder, Chairperson of the Board of Directors, and CEO of RLX Technology on the Q3 reprot.

 

Peer "Pressurizer"

RLX Technology has recently received its S&P Global ESG score, resulting from the latest annual CSA (Corporate Sustainability Assessment), ranking ahead of global e-vapor peers, reported PRnewswire. This may add to the esprit de crops of the company which in turn reciprocated with a continuous rise in stock.

China Tobacco Hubei explores staged nicotine pouch delivery, using dynamic membranes to slow early release and gradient particles to sustain later delivery
China Tobacco Hubei explores staged nicotine pouch delivery, using dynamic membranes to slow early release and gradient particles to sustain later delivery
China Tobacco Hubei Industrial Co., Ltd. disclosed several oral nicotine-related patent applications in August 2026, including two that approach staged nicotine release from different directions. One uses a high-viscosity membrane that forms inside the pouch after contact with saliva to slow rapid early release, while the other uses gradient particles with a faster-disintegrating outer layer and a slower core to create a fast-to-sustained release profile. Together, the filings explore how nicotine pouches could balance initial delivery with release later in use.

China Tobacco Yunnan Industrial Co., Ltd. has filed a patent application for a cellulose-free scaffold material for nicotine pouches, proposing a combination of bioceramic material, polydextrose and sugar alcohols to replace conventional microcrystalline cellulose and cellulose derivatives. The filing aims to address issues including powdery mouthfeel, residue and limited release control, while also reducing reliance on existing cellulose-based patent portfolios. In patent examples, one fast-release formulation reached a nicotine release rate of 50% at 10 minutes and more than 90% at 20 minutes.

China’s Zhengzhou Tobacco Research Institute develops end-to-end heated tobacco analysis to trace aerosol compound origins
The Zhengzhou Tobacco Research Institute of China National Tobacco Corporation has filed a patent application for an end-to-end method to analyze the migration and transformation of chemical compounds in heated tobacco products. Using GC-Orbitrap/MS non-targeted analysis, the method compares tobacco substrate and aerosol samples to distinguish compounds transferred directly from the substrate from those newly formed during heating, while also calculating transfer rates. In an example involving nine heated tobacco products, the patent identified 17 newly formed thermal decomposition compounds and 38 transferred compounds.
