On July 27, Shenzhen Wuling Technology Co., Ltd. held its first product launch event, officially launching the world's first e-cigarette product with a pull-out hidden mouthpiece design, the "XIWU P1." Our first impression is that it is super cool, stunning, creative, and eye-catching. While we can't say it crushes similar competing products, it has certainly made a remarkable debut, not only blowing up social media but also attracting a lot of attention.

For an e-cigarette startup, the background and entrepreneurial spirit of the team not only reflect the design style but also embody the company's social responsibility.

Yao Xiaochao, co-founder of XIWU, stated that this is a startup team with an average age of 39. "Although we have long passed the age of youthful exuberance, our passion remains. This passion does not seek overnight fame but is dedicated to creating a good e-cigarette that truly addresses the pain points of smokers. Many people believe that entrepreneurship in the e-cigarette field is a sprint, but we see it as a marathon. We will persevere and move forward, using medical-grade production standards to provide safe and reliable e-cigarette products for smokers."

At the same time, Yao Xiaochao also revealed that because XIWU's target users are mature smokers, the design deliberately avoids using flashy and trendy elements, opting for a more subdued design style to avoid attracting the attention of teenagers and non-smokers.
