E-cigarettes and vapes are electronic gadgets that enable users to inhale vaporized liquid, often referred to as e-liquid or vape juice. This liquid typically contains nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals. These devices operate by heating the liquid into an aerosol form that can be inhaled, providing a substitute for traditional smoking. E-cigarettes and vapes are often promoted as a less harmful alternative for individuals looking to quit smoking, as they do not involve burning tobacco.
The primary types of e-cigarette and vape products include disposable, rechargeable, and modular devices. Disposable e-cigarettes and vapes are designed for one-time use, pre-filled with e-liquid, and are meant to be discarded after consumption. These products come in open and closed systems, offering a wide range of flavors such as tobacco, fruit, drinks, sweets, and more. They are available for purchase both online and in physical stores.

Tariffs have influenced the e-cigarette and vape market by increasing import costs for devices and e-liquids, particularly affecting segments like disposable and modular devices.

These tariffs have led to higher product prices and slowed adoption in some regions, but they also encourage local production and innovation, enabling manufacturers to explore cost-effective and compliant alternatives to maintain market competitiveness.

The growing use of safer alternatives to smoking is expected to drive the growth of the e-cigarette and vape market in the coming years. Safe alternatives to smoking refer to products or methods, such as e-cigarettes or nicotine replacement therapies, that offer a less harmful way to consume nicotine without the negative effects of traditional smoking. The rising demand for these alternatives is driven by increasing health awareness and stricter regulations on conventional tobacco products. E-cigarettes and vapes reduce exposure to harmful tar and other toxic chemicals by eliminating combustion, making them safer options compared to traditional smoking. For instance, in October 2024, a U.S.-based non-profit organization reported that 38.4% of adults used e-cigarettes frequently, while 26.3% used them daily, showing a slight increase from 2022, when adult e-cigarette use was 6%. Consequently, the growing use of safer alternatives to smoking is driving the growth of the e-cigarette and vape market.

The BM6000 is a rechargeable and reusable vape device with a battery display and an e-liquid level window. It offers up to 6,000 puffs, catering to the growing demand from adult smokers and former smokers for vapes with higher puff capacities. Unlike disposable vapes, the BM6000 uses a closed system with prefilled pods, including a 2 ml pod and a 10 ml e-liquid container for automatic refills, enabling it to last up to ten times longer than traditional single-use vapes.
