At 00:00 on June 24, a brand new e-cigarette product, "UZO New Vape Pod System," officially went on sale on JD.com. This product focuses on delivering a true tobacco flavor, with a package price of 299 yuan, which includes one e-cigarette and three pods.

It is understood that the UZO Lab team consists of organic chemistry PhDs, several masters in plant chemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry, senior flavorists, and hardware engineers. The e-liquid flavorists and hardware engineers come from major tobacco companies and well-known vaping device factories, with over 10 years of R&D experience in the e-cigarette industry, having successfully created multiple flavors that became global bestsellers. The UZO flavor library stores over 1,300 flavor formulas that comply with EU TPD standards. The team officially started the R&D of the UZO New Vape Pod System in 2015.

Before the official release, a closed testing and targeted testing phase lasted for six months, during which over 1,000 sets of products were sent to smokers of different age groups to gather real user feedback, aiming to meet user needs to the greatest extent. The UZO New Vape Pod System pods are priced at 118 yuan for four pieces, with the first wave of featured flavors being classic tobacco, menthol tobacco, green bean popsicle, summer mango, refreshing grapefruit, and beloved blueberry.

UZO New Vape believes that the true tobacco flavor has always been the primary factor affecting whether traditional smokers can accept e-cigarettes, and it is also the long-term goal pursued by various brands in the industry. Now, UZO New Vape provides a solution with its three core technologies developed over three years: amino acid nicotine salt technology, simulated cigarette flavor compensation technology, and deep matching technology between devices and e-liquids.

It seems that the UZO team is not only well-prepared but also has a very clear product positioning.

Amino Acid Nicotine Salt Technology

According to reports, in terms of core components, the UZO team did not choose the commonly used benzoic acid nicotine salt in the industry. The reason is that while benzoic acid nicotine salt can provide a throat hit to satisfy cravings, it carries an off-flavor that negatively impacts the overall taste, sometimes even causing a loss of up to 40% of the e-liquid aroma. Without resolving the purity issue of nicotine salts, relying solely on e-liquid flavoring cannot truly replicate the true tobacco flavor 1:1.

The UZO amino acid nicotine salt project took 957 days, screening 135 types of organic acids and nicotine salts, ultimately developing a new type of nicotine salt that has almost no impact on flavor and controls aroma loss to within 3%.

At the same time, the UZO team stated that they refuse to cater to the currently popular "heavy flavor" trend, believing that compared to the throat hit of real cigarettes, this is clearly changing user needs. To this end, UZO Lab independently developed a smoke collection device, scientifically tested the nicotine content in mainstream brand cigarettes, and based on this, repeatedly improved and optimized the amino acid salt technology, calibrating the characteristics of the components to achieve a suitable throat hit and stable cravings, striving to restore the true smoking experience to the greatest extent.

Cigarette Flavor Compensation Technology

UZO Lab believes that pure nicotine salts are the functional basis for good flavor, while e-liquid flavoring is the "artistic elevation" of the taste experience.

To achieve this, the team scientifically analyzed the key aromatic substances in cigarette smoke, searched globally for four major tobacco leaf producing areas, and selected 59 high-quality tobacco extracts, going through 1,635 blending experiments.

Using reverse osmosis membrane separation technology, they benchmarked the aroma of cigarette smoke, reverse-engineering the aromatic raw materials for e-liquids, and combined with years of accumulated e-liquid flavoring experience to form the unique "simulated cigarette flavor compensation technology," allowing e-cigarettes to truly present the unique aroma of cigarette smoke for the first time.

Deep Matching Technology Between Devices and E-liquids

Regarding devices, the industry and consumers are particularly focused on solving oil leakage and burnt core issues. It is reported that the UZO New Vape Pod System adopts the industry's highest standard of four-layer anti-leak technology, securely locking the e-liquid and condensate in the storage chamber, addressing the common oil leakage problem in the e-cigarette industry.

At the same time, they selected three different materials and four different resistances, conducting 834 rounds of repeated testing to find the optimal state for the heating wire, avoiding the "burnt core" issue.

"However, creating a product that truly leads industry standards is not just about this," said Zhang Min, co-founder of UZO New Vape.

A seemingly simple heating wire, under the same material and resistance, even a slight difference in the number of loops can significantly affect the flavor of the smoke. This confirms UZO's product philosophy: good devices plus good e-liquids do not equal good flavor; only deep matching between devices and e-liquids can yield truly enjoyable performance.

Oil chamber capacity, airflow, draw resistance, trigger value of the induction switch, PG/VG ratio, and aromatic raw material ratio are all closely related to flavor.

UZO reported that R&D engineers conducted massive testing and repeated adjustments on every detail related to flavor. Just the airflow design underwent 115 rounds of brainstorming, drafting, prototyping, and testing, resulting in the unique "dual-side cross airflow design" that perfectly resolves the contradiction between "maintaining a smooth and full flavor" and "setting a reliable oil leakage prevention space."

In terms of hardware, the UZO New Vape Pod System adopts flagship smartphone-level surface treatment technology, with a one-piece body and anodized surface treatment, making it only one-third the thickness of traditional cigarette packaging. Whether held in hand or placed between fingers, it is comfortable and convenient.

Additionally, it features magnetic pod replacement, pressure-sensitive induction switch, and a design without air holes, effectively preventing foreign object blockage, allowing it to activate upon inhalation, and enabling easy pod replacement in just one second, saving unnecessary operational costs.

Furthermore, UZO also has an independently developed production base and a dust-free workshop with a GMP-standard design and construction, passing the ISO9001:2015 quality management system. They have also introduced top international equipment such as GC/MS and GC/FID to ensure that every product launched meets international authoritative safety standards.

The launch event is now open

The UZO New Vape Pod System officially went on sale on JD.com at 00:00 on June 24, with the launch discount event now underway. During the launch period, the package enjoys an 80 yuan discount, and pods are available with a buy 3 get 1 free offer. There are also package and pod lottery giveaways.
