SHENZHEN, China, July 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Disposable e-cigarettes, which look, feel and taste like conventional cigarettes, have become the first choice of entry-level e-cigarette users. They are now quite popular for their easy operation, high efficiency and thick vapor. In order to provide an enhanced vaping experience, a 3.7 V lithium ion cell is used in most e-cigarettes; the result being higher power consumption and shortened battery shelf life. Disposable e-cigarettes are a fast moving consumer goods (FMCG).

Previously, they were known for being a great waste of resources in part because rechargeable lithium ion batteries are quite costly. So FirstUnion asked itself, what kind of product meets the needs of consumers? The answer was a disposable e-cigarette that yields immense vapor, fresher taste and much more safer battery at a more economical price. Consumers also want a disposable e-cigarette that never expires, and hope that companies can innovate and use science & technology to change lives.

After years of research and development, FirstUnion introduces a historic landmark innovative product with a competitive price, thick vapor and a more than two-year shelf-life. This product adopts new battery materials and internal structure which differs greatly from traditional electronic cigarettes, achieving ultra-thick vapor even under the conditions of low voltage and self-discharge. FirstUnion has also applied for patents on the leak proof design used in this product and guarantees zero leaking.

FirstUnion opened the door of new technology with courage and creativity. Since the emergence of e-cigarettes on the market over a decade ago, few attempts have been made to improve the lithium battery used inside. As is known to all, to extend the shelf life of a battery, it is necessary to adopt a technology that works in a low voltage and also supports low self-discharge. But this can never yield thick vapor, which is the key problem that FirstUnion had to overcome.

Through countless tests and failures, the R&D team combined all their resources to conquer this difficult problem. "In the absence of any industry standard, specification or direction, we have figured out the main problem by using a scientific method. "I think this is the first step to our success," said R&D Manager. He added, "We developed new battery materials with suppliers and invested a large amount of money, evaluated many kinds of batteries, i.e. NI-MH batteries, alkaline batteries, capacitor batteries, etc. We finally found the solution and redefined the conception of disposable e-cigarettes."

"A lot of people do not understand the development of this product. From the aspect of commercial operation pattern, FirstUnion doesn't gain any profit with the product's selected price and longer shelf life. This product also reduces purchasing power. However, we have invested a lot of manpower and material resources, such as the development of a new circuit controller (the acceptable range of common controller circuit voltage is 3.1 V - 4.2 V, but the maximum voltage of our newly developed battery can reach 3.0 V). My only aim is to provide the perfect product for consumers and contribute my strengths for the betterness of the society," said Mr Zhongli Xu, the chairman of FirstUnion.

It was a moment of excitement, joy and pride for the R&D engineers in FirstUnion when this groundbreaking and highly innovative product was launched. FirstUnion finally made a successful practical realization of the world's first long-lasting disposable e-cigarette with the same appearance of a conventional cigarette. There is an unprecedented and new high-tech comprehensive thermal structure solution hidden under a regular appearance. FirstUnion proudly says, "We made it! We can proudly announce to the world that this new technology can change the world."

Consumers will no longer have to purchase non-authentic products with a fewer number of puffs than claimed or serious quality issues such as battery explosion. High quality disposable e-cigarettes that yield high puff counts with immense vapor added with a prolonged shelf-life are now available at a much affordable price. This is our commitment to the world.

FirstUnion's success is not by chance but hard-earned with its vast talent, abundant capital investment, and 10 years of expertise in technology research and application. FirstUnion once again proves to the industry that it has a strong and unique R&D strength with an efficient output that enables them to apply for numerous world class patents. FirstUnion proves to the world that steadfast commitment and serious resource investments will be paid fruitfully. Mr Zhongli Xu firmly said: "When you are convinced and walk on the right path day after day, even destiny will make way for you."
