Innokin Launches World’s First Water-Based Pod Vape

The Innobar C1 Features Award-winning water-based vaping technology

Vaping is a fast-growing, innovation-led industry where manufacturers compete for the latest edge to improve the consumer experience. Industry veterans Innokin are looking to create waves with their latest release, the Innobar C1, which is the first closed pod system to feature water-based vaping technology.

Water-based vaping technology is already recognized as a real step forward for the vaping industry, having recently won “Biggest Breakthrough Innovation” at the Golden Leaf Awards 2022 in Washington DC, after competing with the largest vaping brands in the world.

Water-based vaping delivers smoother vapour, faster nicotine satisfaction and reduced dehydration compared to traditional vaping devices. The technology was co-developed by Innokin and new technology firm Aquios Labs, representing a significant change from traditional vaping devices.

Innobar C1: Innokin’s solution for new vapers

The Innobar C1 launches with 12 flavours and has been specifically created to mimic the size, weight, and simplicity of disposable systems. This makes the transition to an affordable and less wasteful vaping format easier for vapers who are currently using disposables. The inclusion of water-based vaping technology gives the Innobar C1 a key point of difference in the highly competitive and homogenized closed-system market.

Closed pod systems are pre-filled with e-liquid and are sold with a pre-charged battery. As soon as consumers open the packaging, a pre-filled pod vape is ready to be used. As a result, a closed pod system acts as a convenient entry point to vaping for transitioning smokers.

The Innobar C1’s efficient 450mAh battery is designed to last for a full day of use during each charge cycle when using 20mg/ml nicotine pods and the battery can be topped up in 30 minutes, providing better run time than disposable equivalents.

How Innobar C1 makes vaping more affordable

Although the initial cost of a disposable vape is low, recurring purchases quickly add up. Over time, the cost of disposable vaping is greater than the cost of a premium vaping device.

Pre-filled or “closed” pod systems are like disposable vapes, but instead of discarding the whole device after use, only the pod section of the device is thrown away when empty. This significantly reduces the cost of vaping. Typically, pre-filled pods are sold in multi-packs at a similar cost to a single disposable device, delivering greater value for money.

As soon as a pod is depleted, it can be replaced with a new pod, retaining much of the convenience factor of a disposable device.

Innobar C1 lowers the environmental impact of vaping

The entirety of a disposable vape is discarded after use. This creates a significant environmental concern around disposable vaping devices.

When using a pre-filled pod system, the battery section is recharged and used for a long period of time, massively reducing waste from the battery and other materials which make up the body of the device.

“For those unfamiliar with the National Youth Tobacco Survey, the just published survey data showed that 9.4 percent of youth in the U.S. had used an e-cigarette in the last 30 days, that 84.9 percent of flavored e-cigarette-using youth had used a non-tobacco flavor, and that 26.6 percent of those had used menthol flavored e-liquids. On the face of it the NYTS figures are very scary, seemingly justifying immediate action on the part of FDA. But as with all percentages you have to look a little closer at what is actually being reported before you push the red button of alarm.

Within the CDC Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report setting out the NYTS results, the prevalence of youth use of Logic products is shown to be 4.3 percent. However, that is not 4.3 percent of all U.S. youth but 4.3 percent of the 9.4 percent of youth who were currently vaping within the U.S. With that clarification the numbers here begin to look very different to the headline announcements. The extent of that use reported by the CDC researchers is 4.3 percent of 9.4 percent, i.e. 0.4 percent. By their own calculations, the CDC authors estimate this to be 100,000 of all U.S. youth—hardly an epidemic.”

Is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration intentionally trying to wreck the U.S. nicotine vaping industry?

It’s a fair question to ask, considering every regulatory action the FDA has taken toward nicotine vaping products appears myopic and prohibitionist. And these actions are causing significant damage to the lives of people who vape and smoke.

Amanda Wheeler and Greg Conley from the American Vapor Manufacturers Association are joining us to discuss the never-ending saga of the FDA’s war on vaping. We take a deep dive into FDA’s dysfunctional PMTA process, the damage caused by years of misinformation, the continuing destruction of U.S. vape businesses, and the 2022 National Youth Tobacco Survey on youth vaping.

Hard compromises that no one will like is how eminent tobacco control scholar Dr. Kenneth Warner describes some of the recently released recommendations in a new policy paper addressing the struggle over e-cigarettes.

The article offers a mix of policy proposals covering critical issues that impact vaping: flavors, taxes, youth use, nicotine, misinformation, and regulatory approval of nicotine vaping products.

In this episode of RegWatch, we take a deep dive into the issues with Dr. Warner and co-author Cliff Douglas, director of the University of Michigan Tobacco Research Network and former Vice President for Tobacco Control at the American Cancer Society.

There’s no mystery as to why nicotine vaping suffers a dismal reputation. Non-profits and foundations like Bloomberg Philanthropies, Truth Initiative, Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, and the “body part orgs” have spent hundreds of millions of dollars and applied tremendous pressure to misinform the public and influence policymakers regarding the potential harms of vaping.

Veteran reporter Marc Gunther joins us today on RegWatch to discuss the impact of private money in the war on vaping.
Gunther has written about politics, government, media, and business for nearly 50 years and is the reporter behind the ground-breaking investigative series “The Great Vape Debate.”

Is private money powering the destruction of vaping?

“Prof Caitlin Notley: “The latest evidence review confirms that vaping is substantially less harmful than continuing to smoke tobacco. Reassuringly, the evidence shows that people who switch away from smoking to vaping are exposed to fewer toxic chemicals that may cause disease in later life.”

Dr Lion Shahab: “This latest report on nicotine vaping is by far the most rigorous, comprehensive and up-to-date piece work on this topic ever published in the UK. It confirms findings from previous reviews in this area that nicotine vaping is far less harmful than smoking tobacco, based on a summary assessment of numerous studies on the likely health impact of vaping. By implication, this should give reassurance to health services and policy makers that encouraging smokers who are unable to stop smoking to switch to these reduced harm products will benefit population health.”

Dr Jamie Hartmann-Boyce: “This is a comprehensive, well-conducted review covering a large and ever-growing body of evidence showing that, though not risk free, vaping exposes users to considerably lower levels of harmful substances than cigarettes. The findings in this new review support the use of e-cigarettes as a way to help people quit smoking”

Prof Peter Hajek: “The clearest evidence comes from looking at blood and saliva samples of vapers and smokers. In vapers, the chemicals responsible for smoking-related death and disease are either completely absent, or present at much lower levels, often similar to levels found in non-smokers. Smokers should be emphatically advised that switching to vaping removes almost all of the risks of smoking.”

Dr Sarah Jackson: “Many smokers are unsure whether e-cigarettes are a safer alternative to smoking but, as this report shows, the evidence is clear. If you’re a smoker, you can substantially reduce the risks to your health by switching completely to e-cigarettes and continuing to use them for as long as you need to avoid relapse to smoking. If you don’t smoke, it is safer for you not to start vaping.”

 “There’s been no honeymoon period for the Food and Drug Administration’s new tobacco chief, Brian King. The AP spoke to King about his approach to regulating tobacco and nicotine, including the potential for e-cigarettes to serve as as a less harmful alternative for adult smokers. Notably, he cited so-called nicotine salt technology pioneered by Juul as a potentially promising tool for smokers, but also warned of its risks for young people.

Q: Surveys have shown many adults think e-cigarettes are as dangerous as traditional cigarettes. Is that a problem?

A: I’m fully aware of the misperceptions that are out there and aren’t consistent with the known science. We do know that e-cigarettes — as a general class — have markedly less risk than a combustible cigarette product. That said, I think it’s very critical that we inform any communication campaigns using science and evidence. It has to be very carefully thought out to ensure that we’re maximizing impact and avoiding unintended consequences.

Q: What’s your view on the potential for vaping to help reduce adult smoking?

A: I think there’s a lot of really important science and innovations that have occurred in the industry in recent years. The most notable I think is nicotine salts (in e-cigarettes).”
