Capacity increase at VTM

US-based Vapor Tobacco Manufacturing (VTM) is expanding its manufacturing capacity for its heat-not-burn products.

The company said the increase was necessary to keep up with demand following a year’s test marketing in Indiana of its patented 3T Organic products.

In a press note issued through PRNewswire, the company said that in April 2016 it had begun testing its new heat-not-burn products in Indiana.

After compiling a year’s worth of sales data and consumer comments, it added, it was “compelled” to increase its manufacturing capacity.

3T Organic’s rechargeable heat-not-burn product was said to have carved out a new category between traditional cigarettes and electronic products, offering a hybrid alternative.

The company said that 3T Organic used the nicotine and patented tobacco flavoring extracted from US-grown organic tobacco leaves, which were heated not burned, “unlocking the rich, true tobacco flavor that smokers desire, without burning tobacco.”

3T Organic was the first and only electronic-nicotine-delivery-system device with USDA certified organic ingredients.

It is said to be available in Red, Gold, and Menthol.
