Water-Based Vaping Breakthrough Unveiled At UKVIA Forum

Water-based vaping technology developed by Aquios Labs and Innokin continues to impress the vaping industry

LONDON, Nov. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The Vaping Industry Forum and Awards Dinner, organised by the UK Vaping Industry Association (UKVIA), is a significant date in the vaping industry’s calendar. On Friday 18th November 2022, some 300 delegates, including policymakers, tobacco harm reduction experts and representatives from vaping industry met to discuss the event’s theme, “Vaping for a Better Future”.

The vaping industry seeks to disrupt the combustible tobacco industry with less harmful products. Leading brands are developing new technologies to make next generation nicotine a more effective platform for adult smokers.

Vaping industry veterans Innokin have a long history of Innovation. Recent awards include “Best Overall Vape Brand” at the Ecigclick Awards 2021, “best sustainable initiative” at the Vapouround Awards 2022, and “Biggest Breakthrough Innovation” at the Golden Leaf Awards 2022, the latter of which were earned for the introduction of water-based vaping technology, developed in partnership with Aquios Labs.

Innokin says water-based vaping was developed to deliver smoother vapour, faster satisfaction and more accurate flavours, while enhancing the potential for harm reduction. These benefits are achieved using a proprietary e-liquid formulation with 30% water content and new vaping hardware tailored to thinner liquids. Independent testing by TCT Lab has demonstrated that water-based vaping reduces acetaldehyde and formaldehyde emissions by 91% and 81% respectively compared to traditional vapes.

Now, Innokin and Aquios Labs have added another water-based vape to their portfolio with the INNOBAR C1, unveiled to harm reduction and industry experts at the UKVIA Forum.

The INNOBAR C1 is the world’s first pre-filled pod system to take advantage of water-based vaping technology. Innokin says this allows the device to “deliver next-generation performance, at a more affordable price and with less waste compared to disposable vaping devices”. Unlike disposable devices, The INNOBAR C1 uses a rechargeable battery, combined with pre-filled “pods” to allow for enhanced performance and greatly reduced waste.

Water-based vaping technology is now set to gain momentum in the global vaping industry, as major brands and harm reduction experts seek to find new ways to improve the efficacy of vaping products.

Speaking at the UKVIA Forum “Innovating in the vaping sector” panel, Innokin UK Branding Manager, Benedict Jones said: “The process of listening to customers and trying to understand their challenges is central to our product strategy. Our goal is always to reduce the number of barriers between a transitioning smoker and a less harmful alternative.

By integrating water-based vaping technology, INNOBAR C1 delivers smoother vapour, greater nicotine satisfaction and reduced dehydration, at a lower vaping temperature with improved chemical stability. We are excited to continue development of this technology with our partner Aquios Labs.”

Innokin and Aquios Labs have already launched several disposable vaping devices with water-based vaping technology, alongside their latest pre-filled pod device, the INNOBAR C1. Innokin are now developing refillable vaping devices which can make use of water-based e-liquids, such as pods and tanks. 

In the run up to the Ecigclick Awards 2022 and the next Vaper Expo UK in May 2023, Innokin and Aquios Labs plan to expand their unique water-based vaping portfolio to reach all segments of the growing vaping market.

GoGlobal Launches Recruit & Hire Solution to Address Critical Talent Shortage for Key Roles

MIAMI, Nov. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The rise of remote work is levelling the playing field when it comes to accessing talent, but for many organizations international hiring is overwhelming and they don’t know where to start.

GoGlobal, an Employer of Record (EOR), is launching a new solution called Recruit & Hire that will help companies look beyond their borders to find the right person for the right role at the right price.

Nick Broughton, GoGlobal Partner, says, “Remote work is the great equalizer when it comes to talent. It has not only transformed the way we think work can be done — shattering the idea that people must be in the office to be productive and contributing— but has also opened up a global talent pool of millions of people that have previously been underappreciate, ignored or inaccessible.”

One of the most important considerations in hiring internationally is to partner with an EOR that can also serve remote global hiring needs. GoGlobal’s Recruit & Hire offers clients the end-to-end solution, right from sourcing through all the stages to an eventual off-boarding

“With our in-house regional talent acquisition teams and global network of vetted recruitment partners, GoGlobal can source and engage remote talent in days and offer expertise in local salary benchmarking, talent pool sourcing and in-country HR regulations and best practices,” says Harry Dhillon, GoGlobal’s Director of Recruitment.

There are many benefits to working with an EOR and recruitment partner on a global recruitment strategy. It’s a quick way to gain access to new markets and find talent for hard-to-fill roles, like technology, sales and clients services. It also enables company to avoid entity set-up costs, fines and penalties. In addition to saving time and money, global remote recruitment supports corporate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) strategies, which are becoming increasingly important for talent development and overall business success.

“Remote hiring allows companies to build naturally diverse teams,” explains Broughton. “Looking beyond traditional borders for talent creates teams that blend a range of cultures, ideas and perspectives. It also provides opportunities to highly-skilled candidates who may not be able to access traditional ‘9 to 5’ jobs that require an in-office presence, such as women with young children at home, people with disabilities or individuals who are also at-home caregivers.”

It delivers exceptional application performance from running on edge nodes designed for 5 milliseconds or less latency over the Lumen fibre network, as well as enhanced security and connectivity designed to isolate and protect data. With the ability to run applications and workloads on a unified platform, customers can focus on developing applications rather than on time-consuming infrastructure deployment.

The service will leverage edge locations in Japan and Singapore, as well as Lumen’s highly connected network in APAC.

“We are excited to bring our edge computing solutions to the fast-growing APAC market. So much here is leading-edge. The region has a strong presence of enterprise customers using blockchain technologies to drive innovation.

Our Lumen services deliver efficient and reliable operations that can keep this momentum going,” said Francis Thangasamy, managing director, Lumen Technologies APAC.

The Lumen Edge Bare Metal service’s first deployment in APAC took place in Singapore and Japan – namely, for a global blockchain nonprofit organisation. Using Lumen’s service, the global blockchain nonprofit can provide high-speed edge computing infrastructure for node operations and developers on its network, supporting its global community of blockchain validators, as well as application programming interface providers and developers.

Other existing solutions within the portfolio in the region include Lumen Edge Private Cloud, which provides pre-built infrastructure for high-performance private cloud computing connected to the Lumen global fibre network.
