Sophia Bennett has dedicated her career to monitoring and analyzing the regulatory landscape and news within the vape industry. With a keen eye for the evolving policies that shape this dynamic market, Sophia brings a critical perspective to her commentary and reports.
Most vapers have a dead device sitting somewhere they never planned for it to sit. A drawer, a coat pocket, the bottom of a bag. It stops working, gets replaced, and the old one just does not get dealt with. That is not laziness so much as a genuine gap in knowledge. A lot of […]
Most vape hardware problems are created at the purchase order stage. A cartridge that leaks in a warm delivery vehicle, a batch that fails a state heavy metals panel, a supplier that quietly changed ceramic vendors between runs: each of those traces back to a qualification step that never happened.
Making a high-quality CBD vape involves much more than mixing cannabinoids with flavour and filling a cartridge.
Two lines of German statutory text did what no enforcement campaign managed: they removed an entire product category from the shelves. Between June 2024 and December 2025, Germany – for a while the largest market in Europe for semi-synthetic cannabinoid disposables – closed the door on HHC and on every successor compound the industry sent […]
The nicotine market is changing quickly. For years, the biggest shift away from combustible cigarettes was driven by vaping. E-cigarettes offered adult smokers a nicotine product without combustion, while new devices, flavors, and formats helped create an entirely new consumer category.
As cannabis markets mature across North America and beyond, packaging waste has emerged as one of the industry’s most visible environmental challenges. Mountains of single-use plastics, non-recyclable composites, and over-engineered containers now accompany a product many consumers associate with natural wellness. This contradiction hasn’t gone unnoticed. A growing segment of cannabis buyers—particularly younger demographics—now prioritize […]
You take three pulls off a vape and know exactly where you stand before the pen is back in your pocket. You eat a 10mg gummy, feel nothing, shrug, eat another, and forty minutes later the couch has you and you’re rethinking some life choices. Same plant, same goal, wildly different rides.
Vape shop safety starts with controlling two everyday risks: lithium-ion batteries and nicotine-containing e-liquids. Retailers can reduce incidents by inspecting products, storing batteries correctly, keeping liquids secure, and giving staff a clear response plan. The aim is to recognise damaged stock and unsafe handling before they cause burns or exposure.
A disposable vape typically lasts 3 to 10 days for an average user. The real range runs from about one day to a few weeks, and it comes down to three things: the puff count of the device, how often you reach for it, and how long each pull is.
Running payroll for a cannabis business is nothing like running payroll for a restaurant or a retail shop. All-in-One Cannabis Payroll Software has to account for IRC 280E, which strips away most standard business deductions and makes every payroll tax decision more complicated than it should be. Throw in limited banking access, cash payroll headaches, […]
