Yinghe Technology's Subsidiary Sikary Misses Performance Target in 2022


According to the annual report, Sikary had committed to achieving a net profit of at least 200 million yuan in 2022, as per the "Capital Increase Agreement" and the "Supplementary Agreement". However, the company ended up with a profit of only 85.35 million yuan, failing to meet the performance commitment for the year. The annual report reveals that the reason for not achieving the performance commitment was due to changes in domestic policies.


In addition, according to the announcement by Yinghe Technology Co., Ltd., a controlling subsidiary of Shenzhen-based Yinghe Technology, Sikary will establish a wholly-owned subsidiary in Manchester, England, with a registered capital of £250,000 (approximately RMB 2 million), focusing on the UK and European markets.


According to sources, Manchester is renowned as a major hub for e-cigarette distribution in the United Kingdom. The city has attracted a substantial number of Chinese e-cigarette brands such as VAPORESSO, VOOPOO, ELFBAR, SMOK, and GEEK BAR.

China Tobacco Zhejiang files patent for pressure-triggered, on-demand oral nicotine release
China Tobacco Zhejiang files patent for pressure-triggered, on-demand oral nicotine release
China Tobacco Zhejiang Industrial Co., Ltd. has filed a patent application for an oral nicotine delivery product designed to let users actively adjust nicotine release. The product embeds two types of nicotine reservoirs with different wall thicknesses and positions inside a deformable matrix. Pressure applied with the tongue or lips can rupture the reservoirs and accelerate nicotine release. In simulated oral tests, several patent examples showed sharply higher peak nicotine release rates as applied force increased from 0 N to 1 N and 3 N. The filing explores a shift from preset release profiles toward user-triggered nicotine delivery.

WIRED Investigation: Chinese-Made Vapes Turn to 6-Methyl-Nicotine and Other Analogs, Challenging U.S. Regulation
U.S. technology and investigative publication WIRED has examined how nicotine analogs are emerging as a new challenge for the country’s vape regulatory framework. The article argues that after the U.S. expanded federal oversight of nicotine products in 2022, some manufacturers began using nicotine-like compounds such as 6-methyl-nicotine that may fall outside existing definitions. Researchers cited by WIRED said some nicotine analogs could be more potent than traditional nicotine, although human health impacts remain unclear. U.S. policymakers are considering broader definitions of nicotine to bring these compounds under federal oversight.
