HQD: Pod-Based Products Will Replace Disposables and Become the Mainstream

HQD showcased three new products at the UK vaping expo, including one pod-based and two disposable devices. HQD believes that pod-based products will eventually replace disposables and become mainstream in the market.

[Two Above reported from Birmingham] On October 27, at the UK vaping expo, HQD presented its latest disposable products NOOK, EOS, and the new pod-based product Cirak. Justin, HQD's sales manager, told Two Above that among these three e-cigarettes, EOS is already on the market.

According to Justin, the disposable product NOOK features a youthful design and color scheme, giving it a trendy feel. The disposable product EOS is HQD's main offering in the UK, with advertisements placed on local buses, and its sales performance has been quite good; the pod-based product Cirak comes in six colors and currently offers 20 flavors, with each pod having a different color.

Additionally, Justin mentioned that HQD has launched several environmentally friendly disposable e-cigarettes, hoping to collaborate with major distributors in the future. The environmentally friendly disposable e-cigarettes are made from biodegradable materials, and one model features a bamboo body, which is quite unique. This product was not showcased at the UK expo but will be presented at the upcoming vaping expo in Padua, Italy. However, this product will soon be introduced to the UK market.  

Regarding the UK market, Justin believes that competition is extremely fierce, leading to prices being driven down to unimaginably low levels, which is not a healthy way to compete.  

As for the future product trends in e-cigarettes, Justin believes that pod-based devices are likely to replace disposables as the mainstream choice. After all, in some European countries, there are bans on fruit flavors, and some are even preparing to completely ban disposable products. Therefore, although there is still significant demand for disposables, they will ultimately be replaced by pod-based devices in the future.
