Ispire launches new pod system VLT as alternative to disposable vapes

Ispire Technology has on Monday announced the launch of VLT in the US, a groundbreaking vaping pod system that redefines the 510-thread experience.

Ispire said VLT’s proprietary reload system addresses key concerns about environmental impact and disposable hardware waste.

“VLT is a transformative step forward for cannabis vaping,” said Michael Wang, co-chief executive of Ispire. “We’ve combined the familiarity of 510-thread devices with a versatile reloadable system that gives our partners and consumers true ownership of their vaping experience, while tackling the environmental and economic challenges that come with disposables.”

The 510 thread is one of the core technologies of the vaping industry, referring to the 10 metal threads that allow the tank or cartridge to attach to the vaping device, with each thread measuring 5 mm.

Unlike disposable vapour products that contribute to electronic waste by discarding the entire device, including the battery, VLT’s reusable system promotes sustainability by allowing consumers to reload their pods.

The reloadable pods not only offer a greener alternative but are also cost-effective when compared to traditional disposable systems. For manufacturers, VLT drives operational efficiency through the Ispire ONE filling machine, cutting labour costs and maintaining product integrity.

VLT’s airtight design preserves the natural terpenes in cannabis extracts, enhancing flavour profiles and extending shelf life, setting a new standard for vaping quality. Available in a variety of pod sizes, colours, and fully customisable options, VLT caters to the needs of both THC, CBD and alternative cannabinoid users.

“Disposable vapes have contributed significantly to electronic waste, but with VLT, we’re giving consumers the power to not only save money but also reduce their carbon footprint,” Wang added.

“VLT offers a premium, sustainable experience without sacrificing convenience or affordability. It’s an ideal solution for multi-state operators, single-state operators, and brands seeking sustainable growth while offering consumers a smarter, eco-friendly alternative to disposables.”

A portion of VLT’s proceeds will be donated to organisations dedicated to reducing non-recyclable waste, making VLT a plastic-neutral product.
