Lisbon, Portugal, 10. November – Die World e-Cigarette Users Alliance (WVA), a global e-cigarette rights organization, has proposed a 7-step plan to the Portuguese government, to address the problem of tobacco consumption.
In the context of the next update of the European Tobacco Products Directive and the implementation of the Portuguese anti-cancer program (ENLCC), which aims to define strategies to combat tobacco consumption in Portugal, have the WVA and its Portuguese partners Associação Portuguesa de Vaporizadores (APORVAP) and Ohms do Vapor made a series of recommendations to policymakers, to advance harm reduction as part of the Portuguese strategy to combat cancer.
The 7-step plan includes recommendations for
1.Portugal has clearly committed, reduce the harm caused by tobacco.
2.Promoting e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation tool.
3.Exclusion of e-cigarettes from smoke-free zone restrictions.
4.Avoid higher taxes on e-cigarette products and reduce excessive taxes on liquids for these products as quickly as possible.
5.Reject the ban on flavors and do not limit the choice of nicotine content in liquids.
6.Make e-cigarettes accessible to adults while introducing age restrictions, to prevent consumption by minors.
7.Promoting tobacco harm reduction in EU institutions and legislation.
“Every year more than die in Portugal 13.000 People suffer from the consequences of tobacco consumption. There are multiple possibilities, Effectively helping smokers, to stop smoking, and E-cigarettes have proven to be the most successful means so far. We need a modern and open legal framework, which takes into account the success of these alternatives in reducing cancer incidence. While the Portuguese government is drafting the ENLCC strategy, we offer the government 7 integrated measures to successfully combat tobacco-related cancer. Portugal can become a world leader in tobacco harm reduction by introducing consumer-friendly adjustment regimes”, said Michael Randall, Director of the World e-Cigarette Alliance.
“Portugal currently has the highest tax on e-liquid consumption in Europe, die 3,23 € pro 10 ml is, and the government intends, this sentence per year 2023 to increase. Such tax regulations discourage consumers, Buy liquids and switch to e-liquids”. Cristiano Batista, President of APORVAP, said: “There are alternatives, which are less harmful than traditional smoking. Portugal needs modern ones, risk-based tax regulations, to reduce the burden on consumers and support Portugal's public health objectives.”
“Unfortunately, there are many misconceptions about e-cigarettes and vaping in the media, among political decision-makers and among health professionals. At Ohms do Vapor we provide the public with reliable information about tobacco alternatives, but that is not enough. Portugal needs a national education campaign on the benefits of tobacco harm reduction, if the government wants to achieve its stated goals. The 7-step plan developed by the WVA supports the needs of the public and should be considered by the government”, said Ohms do Vapor.

refutation! CDC: It's clear, that lung disease is not associated with nicotine e-cigarettes
Myvapesite: Your best e-cigarette shop
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta has more than 140 Scientists and other staff mobilized, to investigate the causes of lung damage and death associated with e-cigarettes.
Will and Danny McIntyre / Scientific resources
Since mid-September, headlines around the world have reported serious outbreaks of lung disease in the United States, that are associated with e-cigarettes, so Reuters E-cigarettes.
Until 22. October were reported to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) von 49 US states 1 604 cases, underneath 34 Deaths, reported. Currently there are in the United States 9 Millions of e-cigarette users, but weekly updates on the CDC website show, that the population affected is very specific and that this lung disease occurs primarily among young men: 70 % of the patients are male, with an average age of 24 years, and almost half (46 %) is under 21 years old.
“We have clearly narrowed this down to products containing THC, which are associated with most patients with lung damage, as well as specific substances, that we have not yet identified”, said Dr. Dana Meneij-Delman, Head of the CDC.
Tetrahydrocannabinol is the main psychoactive component of cannabis, and the CDC has stated, that the identified products come from the street or other informal sources such as friends, family or illegal traders.
The specific chemical, that caused the illness and death, was not identified. However, the outbreak is not related to nicotine-containing e-cigarettes, which has been in the United States for more than 10 years. The first case occurred at the end of March this year and appears, like all other cases, to be a sudden onset lung disease.
As a result of the sudden outbreak of the disease, several US states have banned the use of flavorings in e-cigarettes and are taking emergency measures.
The British Ministry of Health is more concerned about this, that the overreaction to this incident, which was observed in the USA and other countries, reinforcing misconceptions about the relative safety of e-cigarettes, could deter smokers, to use them, and smokers, who have switched to e-cigarettes, could possibly bring it back, to continue smoking, which would undoubtedly be life-threatening and poses a real risk
The Middle East has recently become the focus of international interest, yes i have 21. November 2022 (Beijing time) in the famous Qatar Football World Cup is carried out. The favorites to win the tournament have been on everyone's lips for some time – Brazil? France? Argentina? England?
Middle East – Qatar's focus this year – Football World Cup
The Middle East has not only experienced an economic boom in recent years, The new e-cigarette tobacco is also of great interest.
Die 11.000 square kilometers of land in this part of the Qatari Peninsula on the southwest coast of the Persian Gulf with a coastline of 563 kilometers are a true natural paradise. However, Qatar currently bans e-cigarettes (and also prescribes, that smoking e-cigarettes at the World Cup 2022 in Qatar is punishable by a fine or three months in prison, what means, that you can't bring them to the World Cup), but most wealthy countries in the Middle East are very open compared to Qatar's ban on e-cigarettes.
And Qatar is an Arab country in Western Asia, which borders the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, the hottest e-cigarette countries in the Middle East.
A few thoughts on the Middle East market.
1.Investment fever.
In the past two years, many factories have been built in Southeast Asia, but very few in the Middle East. This year, a Chinese e-cigarette company in Shenzhen has more than 400 Spent millions building a factory in Indonesia in Southeast Asia. The Indonesian tobacco company also invested in November 166,1 Millions of dollars to build an IQOS factory for Fimo International ……
In fact, it begins E-cigarette in the Middle East with liberalization in the United Arab Emirates in the year 2019.
His investment fever isn't necessarily that, to build factories in the Middle East, but also in it, the investment fever in the Middle East for E-cigarettes to increase. Another perspective shows, that there is a great need for support for Chinese e-cigarette factories.
In previous years, most countries in Southeast Asia and the Middle East tended to do so, E-cigarettes to disallow, d. h. the import and sale of E-cigarettes to ban it completely, to curb the sale of e-cigarettes at the source.
Today, however, the Middle East and Southeast Asia are gradually liberalizing the trend E-cigarette. The United Arab Emirates in the Middle East, Egypt in North Africa and Arabia are all open to e-cigarettes.
The massive demand is what makes the market so big. The Middle East includes approximately 23 Countries and territories, more than 15 Millions of square kilometers and a population of 490 millions of people. This area appears to be larger than that 9,6 million square kilometers of China and has a larger population than the United States.
2.Setting up locations and “Store
It was only this year, for example, that E-cigarettes-Myle has an office in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) opened in the Middle East and set up a warehouse, to serve its customers in the Middle East. The e-cigarette Myle was 2015 introduced and is available in many countries. The United Arab Emirates is one of the most important markets for the E-cigarettes by Myle.
Chinese brands like Yueqie, Magic Flute, Firearm (Munition), Yuzu, Flow FLOW, Xuejia, DRAGON (Avipex Technology), UWELL (Uwell Technology), True Taste Organic or old big brands and VOOPOO (Jiye Technology), YuoTo's main brand of disposable products (under ZIPPO), all have a Middle Eastern layout. Fimo International, British American Tobacco – these big brands are conquering the Middle East market. This year FLOW E-Cigarettes opened an office in Dubai.
3.Foreign trade exports “hot
The constantly accelerating growth of foreign trade electronic cigarettes has prompted most domestic manufacturers to do so, to turn their attention to overseas markets.
Just for example, a series of data, last year in China electronic cigarette Industry product exports amounted to 21,394 billion US dollars, and this year 2022 January-April China's total exports of electronic cigarettes reached 6,168 billion US dollars, at four months, to export more than 30 billion yuan to complete, the growth rate is still rapid. 2022 Electronic Cigarette Industry Export Blue Book Report Shows, that it is to be expected, that in the year 2022 the overseas electronic cigarette market The scale will have a growth rate of 35 % maintained.
Like the domestic Yuechu, was sent to the Middle East Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait have layout, This year electronic cigarette training also took place in Saudi Arabia.
Many domestic manufacturers, but also a large number from the Middle East, including intelligent E-cigarettes, Bullet replacement e-cigarettes, Disposable cigarettes, large cigarettes and other types of electronic cigarette products ODM and OEM business.
The HNB in the Middle East are also good. Such as the domestic Henan China cigarette overseas HNB brand called FAR STARA hair time up and GdloenLeaf, especially in the Middle East, Exported to Russia and North Africa and other regions.
The customs export data shows, that exports of electronic cigarettes to the UAE are growing extremely quickly and almost multiplying.
In particular, the number exported to the UAE E-cigarettes is almost twice as high as exports to Bahrain.
4.The exhibition is “hot”

This year a major e-cigarette conference took place in the Middle East. Die World E-Cigarettes Show 2022 then took place for the first time in Dubai, FEET, instead of, where thousands of international companies produce e-cigarette products, Manufacturing components, Vaporizer oils, Testing technology and other related products were presented. Surprisingly, local companies promoted marketing regulations like the British regulation “regulated as consumer products and medicines”, at the E-cigarettes used as medicine and doctors can recommend it to heavy smokers. As you can see, win E-cigarettes increasingly important as an alternative to tobacco consumption in the Middle East.
In June this year, the local companies were Firearms, Yuzu, Magic Flute and Simoleon on the Dubai E-Cigarettes Show represented in the Middle East of the United Arab Emirates, at the total over 200 Brands and manufacturers took part.
5.Politics remains relative “locker”
The new tobacco policy in the Middle East is largely based on the EU. Several Middle Eastern countries, who have lifted their bans on new tobacco products, refer to the EU transfer pricing documentation, die E-cigarettes is friendlier towards, during North Africa, which borders the Middle East, also gradually liberalized its policies.
You can say, that the stricter regulations for E-cigarettes are relatively rare in Middle Eastern countries. However, there are still some detailed requirements, knows from. B. the Kuwaiti regulation for packaging, where the vape oil and the device must be separate.
In more than 20 Middle Eastern countries are E-cigarettes and similar products in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi-Arabian, Jordan, Egypt and Bahrain approved for sale, while in Lebanon, Oman and Qatar are banned. Of these, the e-cigarette market in the UAE is the fastest growing. Team Philips Sea, the managing director of ECigIntelligence, Sales across the top 10 stores in the UAE are generally increasing this year, and the UAE market is growing much faster than its neighboring countries.
Six countries in the Middle East to liberalize electronic cigarettes is an important promotion, not to mention the huge base of traditional smokers in the Middle East, the local hookah culture, the Middle East consumption power, which the emergence of new tobacco “Chance”.
Egypt, for example, has also had since October last year E-cigarettes liberalized. That's it since 2015 current ban on sales, the importation and marketing of e-cigarettes has been lifted, that as “freundlich” was designated. Originally was intended, the “illegal trade” to prevent.
6.One “unique” Opportunity.
There are many options for Disposable e-cigarettes, to establish itself in the Middle East this year. Most of the new products are disposable.
The difference in life culture and consumption habits between different countries and regions also has a lot to do with the sweetness and taste of the product, and even with the functionality and strength of the e-cigarette's design.
Disposable products are experiencing rapid growth worldwide, essentially due to convenience, Preis, taste and volume. The popularity of single-use products also stems from new tobacco harm reduction and the relative safety of these endorsements, which promotes market penetration.
Some of the problems, with those E-cigarettes could face in the Middle East this year.
1. changing tastes and a complex legal situation.
In fact, the world is currently taking a less friendly attitude toward flavoreds E-cigarettes a. But at the moment the Middle East is still open.
But it is also clear, that the legal situation is complex, from aromas to taste restrictions, and that a wave of opportunities should be seized early.
The data also shows, that 90 % the UAE in the Middle East of flavored E-cigarettes be dominated. Only 14 % are E-cigarettes with tobacco flavor, which is almost identical to the situation in the country. The data shows, that 76 % of e-cigarette products sold in the UAE are not tobacco flavored and buyers are opting for sweeter varieties. The most popular are fruit flavors, on the 39 % of sales are eliminated, while the rest of the market is off 21 % cool menthol aromas, 14 % Tabakaromen, 12 % Dessertaromen, 7 % sweet confectionery and 6 % Beverage flavors exist.
Everything, what you can say, is, that the future of the overseas e-cigarette market depends on the “political development” will depend.
2. the process of “normalization”.
Norms are also in the Middle East E-cigarettes on the rise, about the effects of E-cigarettes on young people.
These include age restrictions, Location restrictions, Limits on nicotine levels, taste restrictions, etc. In the United Arab Emirates, for example, it is said, that the nicotine content of tobacco oil 20 must not exceed mg/ml. The product launch requires ECAS RoHS certification.
3. the question of “Tax collection”.
Both customs duties and excise taxes E-cigarettes themselves are still being refined in the Middle East. It may even increase. For example, the UAE has one 100 %levied tax on all e-cigarette devices, independently of, whether or not they contain nicotine or tobacco, including the liquids used in e-cigarette devices.
4. the storage form “Logistics”.
E-cigarettes are a sensitive item in international express transport, and the logistical connection cannot be neglected. In China there are a number of control regulations for the transport of E-cigarettes. According to the “Rules for managing electronic cigarette logistics” There are customs offices designated for the export of electronic cigarettes, Customs clearance points, Trading platforms and other connections, and the whole process takes place “with documents and management”.
Tariffs have also increased. In January this year, the UAE and some GCC countries raised the tariff E-cigarettes and e-cigarette oil from 5 % on 100 % elevated. Therefore it is important, to control the logistics costs and to select a dedicated logistics service provider with an appropriate scope of activity for the export of E-cigarettes to select.
However, current transportation costs in the Middle East are relatively low in Europe and the United States. The Middle East e-cigarette logistics mainly rely on air and sea transport, Maritime transport is the Strait from Malacca to the Arabian Sea, the distance is relatively closer. In addition, the Middle East logistics, there is also land transport on this line, the costs are relatively low air and sea transport, but by the local unrest in areas such as Syria, a little risk.
At the same time, the UAE is the financial, economic, See- and Middle East Aviation Hub, and Dubai is the largest commercial port and trade distribution center in the Middle East. A successful market in the United Arab Emirates (Dubai) is for the development of other countries in the Middle East region, which has natural advantages in logistics, more beneficial.
5. Price wars.
Due to the greater homogenization of the products E-cigarettes sparked a price war in some Middle Eastern countries.
This is, above all, a test of overall brand strength.
The Middle East, on the other hand, was relative this year “lenient” and has taken few actions, who are unfriendly towards e-cigarettes. Also Fouad Barakat, General Manager of Etek Saudi Arabia, said: “The MENA region is one of our fastest growing markets. It is expected, that the e-cigarette market in the region is up 2024 at a rate of almost 10 % will grow”.
Although China's share of e-cigarette exports to the Middle East last year was only 4-5 % fraud (which is on the order of several billion RMB), This is also one of the most promising markets for emerging companies.
Dry hits - the unpleasant experience of burnt taste and stinging smell when vaping - are a common problem and can significantly impair the steam experience. The reason for this is usually an inadequate saturation of the heating spiral (Coil) With e-liquid, Which leads to an overheating of the winding and burning the wick material.
While dry hits are partly caused by operating errors, Are they just as often a sign for it, that the coil has reached its lifespan. Since each heating spiral is subject to natural wear, a regular exchange is essential, To make optimal taste- and to ensure steam development.
In the following we will show you professional strategies, with which you can effectively avoid dry hits and significantly extend the lifespan of your coils.
1. Selection of a suitable e-liquid: Clear, not very sweet, coilschonend
The composition of your e-liquid plays a crucial role in the durability of your coil. Especially sweet -containing liquids leave sticky residues on the heating spiral and significantly reduce the efficiency of the wick material. Over time, this leads to a shortened lifespan of the coil and increased tendency to dry hits.
Dark or strongly flavored liquids wear out coils faster than clear, less sweetened variants. Recommendation: If possible, choose an e-liquid with little or no sweetener and a transparent color. This is how you minimize deposits and maximize the lifespan of your heating spirals.
2. Careful priming technology: The key to coil longness
A professional preparation (“Priming”) New coils is essential, To prevent the winding from drying out. Before installing, drip 3-4 drops of your e-liquid directly onto the visible wick material of the coil. Then assemble the coil, Fill the tank completely and let the device rest for at least 5-10 minutes.
This procedure is fully saturated by the winding, which significantly reduces the risk of a dry hits on the first train. In addition, correct priming improves the aroma intensity and extends the overall life of the coil.
Each coil is for a specific range of power (Wattage) interpreted. Exceeding this area leads to a significant reduction in the coil life or even burning to immediate.
Tipp: Start when driving a new coil with the lowest recommended wattage and increase it gradually. In this way, winding and wick material adapt optimally to the thermal conditions, Which enables a longer service life.
4. Observe the fluid level: Always sufficient e-liquid in the tank
A fluid level in the tank that is too low can lead to this, that the winding is no longer completely surrounded by the e-liquid. As soon as the wick opening is no longer submerged, the wick absorbs less liquid - the result is dry hits and damage to the coil.
Rule: Be sure to, that your tank or pod is always at least half filled, so that the wick openings are always in the e-liquid. So the saturation remains constant and the coil is protected from drying out.
5. Choose the correct VG/PG ratio
E-liquids mainly consist of vegetable glycerin (VG) and propylene glycol (PG). VG is viscoser and makes fluid intake more difficult by fine wick openings, while PG is more thin and enables fast saturation.
For coils with small wick openings - such as the popular T18E 1,7 Ohm coils-we recommend liquids with a VG share of maximum 60 %. Hochviscose “Max VG”-Liquids (≥80% VG) are more suitable for more powerful sub-ohm coils with large wick openings.
Careful handling of your e-cigarette-from the selection of the right e-liquid to the correct performance regulation-not only ensures a more intensive taste experience, but also for a significantly extended lifespan of your coils.

If you have only recently started using e-cigarettes, it probably is, that you are currently using an e-cigarette with a prefilled cartridge or vape – if this is not the type of device, that you use, possibly buy a disposable e-cigarette. Why are you most likely to use one of these e-cigarette devices? That's why, that you may have purchased your first e-cigarette in a traditional tobacco shop such as a supermarket or convenience store – so there, where you previously bought your cigarettes.
But if you look around, you may also see many other people, who use e-cigarettes – and none of them use disposable e-cigarettes or devices with prefilled cartridges. They all use devices with refillable cartridges. why is that – and what's more important, you should use a refillable e-cigarette kit?
As you will soon find out, Our answer to this question is clear “And”. Refillable e-cigarette pens give you a better e-cigarette experience than prefilled devices in every way.
So what are the benefits of a refillable e-cigarette pen? Let's dig deeper.
Refillable vape for maximum flavor selection
By far the biggest advantage of using a refillable vape pen or cartridge system is this, that refillable e-cigarette devices allow you to do this, Use any e-liquid on the market, unlike the few, which are available for proprietary devices with prefilled cartridges. If you have never set foot in a physical vape shop, we encourage you, to do this. In regular e-cigarette stores, there are dozens to hundreds of different e-liquid flavors to choose from, and you can use any of these flavors with a refillable vape system or e-cigarette pen. The diversity, that you can enjoy, is almost unlimited.
Using a device like a refillable cartridge doesn't just mean, that you can enjoy a wider variety of vape flavors. That also means, that you are capable, Use e-liquids, that taste better and are of higher quality overall. E-liquid manufacturers around the world are constantly striving, to push the boundaries and invent new flavors, that has never existed before. The world's first muesli, Vanille-Salsa- und Doughnut-E-Liquids – to name just a few flavor profiles – came onto the market in bottle form, long before they were available in devices with pre-filled pods. However, most prefilled e-cigarette devices do not offer a flavor profile as exotic as these devices. Prefilled vape cartridges typically have a simple flavor profile with just one flavor, like tobacco, Menthol or fruit.
With refillable cartridges you can enjoy better taste quality
A key feature of the best refillable cartridges is, that they offer significantly better taste quality than devices with pre-filled cartridges. Typical prefilled pod systems have extremely small atomizer coils, which produce tiny clouds of steam. Silica wicks are usually also used for prefilled e-cigarette cartridges, which often have a plastic-like taste.
On the other hand, if you use a refillable e-cigarette pen, you can enjoy the same taste quality, which you would get when using the same type of atomizer coil as in a full sized vape tank.
The refillable Pod’d feels more like a cigarette
One limitation with e-cigarette devices with prefilled cartridges is, that this type of e-cigarette will never have the same taste as a cigarette. Because the cartridges are filled with e-liquid at the factory and must be durable for worldwide shipping, they must be made of hard plastic. Some people may not mind that, but it will never give you an experience, that really reminds you of smoking.
Refillable e-cigarette pen for an even more satisfying experience
If you are currently using an e-cigarette device with refillable cartridges, The filled cartridges for your device can be available in different nicotine strengths. However, you may wonder, who actually buys the cartridges with lower strength, as your experience with the higher strength cartridges is just about sufficient, to keep you away from cigarettes. If you try, Switch to a lower nicotine strength, you will definitely want to start smoking again!
Overall satisfaction is one of the key differences between refillable e-cigarettes and prefilled devices. As we have already mentioned, is one of the best features of our refillable vape systems, that they offer the same type of atomizer coils, which you would get in an established vape tank. This is a huge advantage in terms of taste quality, but that's not all.
If you use a refillable e-cigarette, You can expect significantly better performance in every respect than with a pre-filled device. This means larger vapor clouds and longer battery life. Using a refillable e-cigarette also usually means access to some of the more advanced features like variable power and adjustable airflow.
When comparing a refillable vape pen or cartridge system to a device with prefilled cartridges, you'll immediately notice a big difference in build quality between the two devices. If you look at the e-cigarette devices, offered by traditional tobacconists, you may have noticed, that the starter kits are very cheap. That's why, that the manufacturers of these devices derive most of their revenue from the sale of refill cartridges. They like to give these devices away as cheap goods, and they usually don't last long, before they stop working.
If you're tired of it, Buying inferior e-cigarette devices, that are designed for this, to be sold cheaply and replaced frequently, you will enjoy the experience of a refillable cartridge system or vape pen. With refillable e-cigarette devices, the cost structure is completely reversed. You do pay more up front for the device, but in the long run you pay much less – We'll go into this in more detail later. In the meantime, you have an e-cigarette device, that lasts months or even years. The difference in build quality is very clear, the first time you hold a refillable e-cigarette device.
The cost of refillable vape pens will decrease over time
One of the main disadvantages of owning a vape device is that it comes with pre-filled cartridges, that it can become very expensive over time. Pre-filled starter kits may seem very cheap, but you have to buy new kits frequently, because they don't last very long. More important than this, however, are the extremely high costs of filling the compartment. On average, a refill pack contains approx 3-4 ml e-cigarette oil – In many areas, this trace amount of e-cigarettes costs about the same as a pack of cigarettes.
If this is your first time purchasing a bottle of e-cigarette oil, will become clear to you over time, why refillable e-cigarette pens cost much less than prefilled devices. A bottle of e-cigarette juice typically contains several times the e-liquid in a pack of prefilled cartridges for about the same cost. Even taking into account the cost of occasional replacement cartridges or coils, With a refillable e-cigarette pen, you can easily halve the cost of your e-cigarette compared to a prefilled device.
