Republic Technologies launches ‘Smarter’ vaping range

Republic Technologies (UK) Ltd, a leading player in the smoking accessories market, has announced its entry into the UK vaping market with its new ‘Smarter’ product range.

In a category-first, the Smarter range incorporates new technology (patent pending) featuring the UK’s first vaping range with a no mesh coil pod system, which Republic Technologies said would be an ideal solution for retailers ahead of the forthcoming disposable vapes ban.

The Smarter range comprises two ‘competitively-priced’ products: the compact Smarter Mini (RRP £9.99, 120g) which provides up to 800 puffs per replaceable pod, and the long-lasting Smarter 6K (RRP £12.99, 103g) which enables users to enjoy up to 6,000 puffs per refill, with a 2ml + 10ml rechargeable tank.

Republic Technologies noted that both products conform to changes in the UK legislation covering disposable vapes, with the Smarter Mini incorporating a replaceable, longer-lasting ceramic coil (as opposed to a mesh coil) which sits outside the pod.

Designed to appeal to disposable vape or traditional pod system users, the rechargeable Smarter range incorporates the 12 most popular vaping flavours, as conducted by consumer research, including ‘Strawberry Ice’ and ‘Cool Mint’.

“The Smarter products are just that, breaking new ground with their use of smart, innovative technology. Featuring a sleek design and packaging which we’re confident will appeal to those consumers looking for the best quality, cost effective vaping experience,” Gavin Anderson, sales and marketing director at Republic Technologies (UK) Ltd, commented.

“Users will be able to switch pods with little or no residue and the eco-friendly, rechargeable devices will also reduce wastage.”

The Smarter products are backed by an extensive range of PoS to drive in-store visibility and awareness, including display units, wobblers, tent cards, flyers and posters.
