Major Vaping Firms Compete in Atomization Technology

For any industry, core independent intellectual property rights are always the soul of the industry. Only by possessing core technology research and development capabilities and independent intellectual property rights can one maintain an advantage in the competitive process of industry technology, and this is also true for the e-cigarette industry.

Recently, domestic veteran investor Zhang Qianqian believes that the e-cigarette market will go through four stages: first, there will be a market reshuffle, with larger companies swallowing smaller ones, and good brands driving out bad ones; second, clearer industry regulations will emerge; third, technological iteration will occur, as better technology is needed to make it healthier; fourth, stronger regulation will be implemented. She also pointed out that the e-cigarette projects that will succeed in the future will have three core elements: first, they must occupy the mind; second, they must have independently developed technology, as technology is key; third, they must have sufficiently strong channels, as channels will establish an effective barrier in this market. Notably, she mentioned the technological issues of e-cigarettes twice, indicating that technology is crucial for the survival and development of e-cigarette companies in the future!

The core of e-cigarettes is the atomization core. Whoever possesses cutting-edge independent intellectual property atomization technology can become a follower in the e-cigarette industry. In this regard, various players in the e-cigarette industry are naturally well aware and are striving to launch core atomization technologies, aiming to seize new heights in the industry and grow stronger and more enduring.

1. Smoore's FEELM black ceramic coating atomization technology elevates atomization technology to a new height.

Smoore's research institute's next-generation ceramic core technology—"FEELM metal film atomization"—uses ceramic as a carrier and employs high-temperature forged ceramics, forming a large number of honeycomb-shaped capillary pores inside, which is more conducive to the uniform penetration and heating atomization of e-liquid, while retaining and enhancing the original characteristics of the ceramic core, such as "pure taste" and "rich layers."

The core technology of FEELM lies in completely breaking free from the constraints of traditional heating wires, covering the bottom of the ceramic with a metal film through a special process, distributed in an "S" shape, greatly enhancing overall heating performance.
 
Through data comparison and analysis, it was concluded that the smoke volume produced by FEELM metal film atomization technology is 52% higher than that of traditional cotton cores, and this breakthrough in smoke volume allows for nicotine transmission efficiency far exceeding the mere 56% of traditional technology, making the effect very noticeable for users. Breakthroughs in taste, atomization efficiency, and nicotine transmission rate ultimately give FEELM metal film atomization technology a unique "instant atomization" concept, providing users with the most direct experience of a smooth throat hit and a rich, authentic taste.

In addition to improvements for users, FEELM metal film atomization technology, due to the use of new heating materials, successfully eliminates some inherent shortcomings of traditional heating coils, providing a broader space for product design and production. The unique structural design not only improves atomization efficiency but also facilitates product packaging, significantly preventing e-liquid leakage. The small POD devices using FEELM metal film atomization technology offer a more authentic taste, more stable performance, and more reliable use, with significantly improved smoking cessation effects. This is also the fundamental reason why FEELM metal film atomization technology became the only Chinese technology brand to win the "Golden Leaf Award" in the global tobacco industry in 2018.

The emergence of Smoore's FEELM black ceramic coating atomization technology has elevated atomization technology to a new height. It won the "Golden Leaf Award" in the global tobacco industry upon its market launch and is also the only Chinese technology brand to receive this honor in 2018.
