Press Release
The 25-30 side chain of CTC Civil travel service chain is officially on the chain
On December 23, Daniel Smith, CEO of Singapore Done Fund Management Institution and CEO of CTC, reached a strategic consensus with the heads of the six new side chains after in-depth communication and discussion for many times, and announced that the six side chains of CTC Global Cultural Travel Chain (VEA, LMA, HVA, MCO, WAS and VNC) were officially linked up. Due to the impact of the global COVID-19 epidemic, the strategic press conference that was scheduled to be held in Singapore was not held as scheduled. This multi-party strategic cooperation was finally reached in the form of electronic agreement.
Singapore Done the fund management organ CEO, the chief executive of CTC, Daniel Smith, for six side chain fixed anchor (Vienna, Austria, Lima, Peru, Havana, Cuba, Mexico City, Warsaw, Poland, Venice, Italy), the characteristics of human geography environment and beautiful landscape, said after the outbreak must personally go to feel the unique local customs. It is reported that six new side chain operation centers are set up in the business centers of six cities, and reached strategic consensus with the famous local travel companies.
Vienna, on the Danube river in northeastern Austria, is known as the “capital of music” in the world. Stopping on this city street full of musical notes is always a romantic scene, which makes people easily fall in love unawares, just like the nature of romance in Vienna. Most of Vienna’s tourist attractions are open all year round, such as The Schonbrunn Palace, hofburg Palace, Belfort Palace and the Vienna Museum, of which the Schonbrunn Palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Lima is the capital of Peru and the largest economic and cultural center in the country. It is located on the coastal irrigation oasis. In Lima is always most of the colonial period, South America is the most important political and commercial centers of power, therefore retained a large number of colonial buildings, such as large monasteries catacombs Francis, the central plaza, SAN street plaza and the buildings also earned Lima, scientific and cultural organization UNESCO awarded the “world cultural heritage” of reputation.
Located on the northwest coast of The Island of Cuba, Havana is the capital of the Republic of Cuba. It is located in the tropics, with a mild climate and pleasant seasons. It is known as the “Pearl of the Caribbean”, with many ancient churches, castles, squares, museums, monuments, parks, libraries and so on. The port city of distinctive and lasting appeal, classical and modern, the new world and old world, white and black, high culture and the lowbrow, all elements full of collision, there are telltale signs here, all seemingly independent individuals, together in the sunshine and the vibrant tropical port harmonious unify.
Mexico City is not only the capital of Mexico, but also the largest city in Mexico. Architectural buildings, historical sites, museums, palaces, monuments, shopping malls, government buildings, everything in Mexico City. The water garden on the Hochmirco Canal is the city’s largest tourist attraction, as well as landmark buildings such as the El Angel Daily Independent newspaper and the Angel of Independence Victory Column. Mexico City is the headquarters of many large media companies and Spanish newspapers. About 20% of the Mexican population lives in Mexico City, so this city is also known as the city that never sleeps.
Warsaw is the capital of the Republic of Poland, and the famous Warsaw Convention was signed here. Today, Warsaw still maintains the layout of the old and new cities. Various historical monuments and places of interest are mostly concentrated in the old city, attracting a large number of tourists from abroad every year. The Old Town is located on the west bank of the Vistula River. It is a cluster of majestic and majestic red spire buildings in the Middle Ages. The famous ancient buildings include the former Royal Palace known as the “Polish National Cultural Monument” and the most beautiful and magnificent Baroque building in Warsaw. Base Palace, Lazienki Palace, an outstanding representative of Polish classical architecture, etc.
Venice is the capital of the Veneto region in northern Italy, a world-famous historical and cultural city, and the birthplace of the Venetian school of painting. Its architecture, paintings, sculptures, operas, etc. have an extremely important position and influence in the world. The water city of Venice is the essence of the Renaissance, and it is also the only city in the world without cars. God shed tears here, but made it more crystal clear and tender, just like a romantic dream floating on the blue waves, enjoying “because of water There is the reputation of life, beautiful because of water, and prosperity because of water, and the reputation of “water city”.
In the context of the global epidemic situation is not optimistic and the economy is complex and changeable, the tourism industry is still an industry with stable market demand and a good development momentum in recent years. It has exceeded the global economic average growth rate for 7 consecutive years and has become the fastest growing industry one. With the integration of the global tourism industry and digitalization, the future will gradually achieve leapfrog development, bringing new horizons to the holiday economy and new development opportunities for the digital cultural tourism industry.
The so-called hero sees the same. The heads of CTC and the six new side chains agreed that the future development trend of the cultural and tourism industry will be to integrate blockchain technology into it, which is the need for the in-depth development of the integration of culture and tourism in the new economic environment. By building a new industrial ecological application system through blockchain technology, the cultural tourism industry will accelerate the circulation of assets, empower the growth of the digital economy, and promote the sustainable development of the cultural tourism industry’s digitization, capitalization, and ecologicalization.

The brand holds about 60 percent of the country’s pod system market and around 80 percent of its German shipments are in reusable formats, with four products honoured this year by the German Design Award and the CMF Design Awards
United States, 1st Jun 2026, –
Global vape brand ELFBAR today set out how its German business has shifted toward reusable pod systems over the past several product cycles, following recognition of four of its products by the German Design Award and the International CMF Design Awards in 2026.
The two juries honoured the ELFX Mini, the ELFX 2, the ELFA Master Stein and the ELFA pod system. The group together accounts for a meaningful share of ELFBAR’s German sales. The German Design Award is organised by the German Design Council. The International CMF Design Awards evaluates excellence in colour, material and finish. ELFA Master Stein and ELFX Mini are now available in Germany.
What the data shows
According to internal company data, ELFBAR holds about 60 percent of the German pod system category. That makes it the largest player in the country’s largest vape submarket. Prefilled and refillable products — the ELFX and ELFA pod systems and the ELFLIQ e-liquid range — make up roughly 80 percent of the company’s shipments to Germany. Single-use formats, once a defining part of the category, no longer drive the brand’s German business.
The product mix has shifted gradually rather than overnight. The change reflects deliberate prioritisation inside the company: ELFBAR has steadily reduced the share of single-use formats in its German offer and reinvested behind devices that can be refilled, recharged and serviced over a longer life.
Design language
The shift toward reusable formats has been accompanied by a change in how ELFBAR’s products look and feel. The ELFX and ELFA series — including the four products honoured this year — share a quieter design vocabulary than the bright single-use silhouettes that defined the category’s earliest growth. Colour palettes are subdued. Casings are contoured for one-handed use. Materials are selected for grip and longevity. Branding is small.
“Good design should feel confident, not loud,” said Becky Liu, Head of Industrial Design at ELFBAR. “With ELFX and ELFA, we focus on a clean-cut form, precision, and a calm material touch-feel to bring an elegant and intuitive user experience.”
That visual approach has now been independently endorsed. The German Design Award named the ELFX Mini and the ELFA Master Stein as 2026 winners. The CMF Design Awards recognised both the ELFA Master Stein and the ELFX 2. The combined recognition applies standards normally used to assess mainstream consumer electronics to a category that has historically been judged on different terms.
The reusable approach in practice
ELFBAR describes its reusable design approach in three working principles, drawn from how the products are engineered and sold rather than from marketing language.
The first is that components are designed to be replaceable. Pods, cartridges and, in some models, batteries can be exchanged so that the body of the device stays in use beyond the life of any single consumable.
The second is that everyday friction is engineered out of the product. Visible e-liquid windows, magnetically secured cartridges, structured status displays and adjustable airflow and power settings are integrated to reduce small daily annoyances that often push users back to single-use products.
The third is that safety features are built into the cartridge. The ELFX POD 2.0 generation, which launches with ELFX 2 in Germany in June 2026, adds a child lock, an upgraded airway for richer flavour, and a 5A leakproof system designed to contain e-liquid during everyday use.
The regulatory backdrop
The shift inside ELFBAR’s German business has played out against a broader change in European regulation. National-level restrictions on disposable products, higher expectations around packaging and e-waste, and closer scrutiny of product safety have all put pressure on bright, short-lived devices. Brands able to demonstrate genuine reusability, supported by replaceable components, accessible spare parts and durable design, are increasingly separated by retailers and regulators from those that cannot.
ELFBAR’s German position is being treated inside the company as a test case for how the rest of its European business will be structured. The plan is to introduce the award-winning ELFX and ELFA designs to additional European markets in due course, with ELFX 2 leading the next wave from Germany in June 2026.

Reusable device debuts with the new ELFX POD 2.0 generation, featuring a child lock, an upgraded airway and a 5A leakproof system
United States, 1st Jun 2026, –
Global vape brand ELFBAR will launch the ELFX 2, a reusable pod system already honoured by the International CMF Design Awards, in Germany in June 2026. The device will be the first in the company’s lineup to ship with the new ELFX POD 2.0 cartridge generation, which adds three upgrades focused on safety, flavour delivery and leakage protection.
ELFX 2 will go on sale through ELFBAR’s authorised retail and online channels. Specific on-sale dates, pricing and full channel availability will be confirmed closer to launch. The product is intended for adult smokers and ex-smokers as an alternative to combustible tobacco.
What is new in ELFX POD 2.0
The ELFX POD 2.0 cartridge generation ships standard with ELFX 2 in Germany and changes three things from the prior generation.
The first is a child lock. The dedicated locking mechanism is designed to make unintended activation by a child significantly less likely. The feature reflects ELFBAR’s youth access prevention commitments and aligns with European regulatory expectations around pod-level safety engineering.
The second is an upgraded internal airway. The redesigned airflow path is tuned for more consistent flavour expression across the life of the pod. This is an area where adult users moving from disposable to reusable formats have historically reported the largest gap.
The third is a 5A leakproof system. The architecture is intended to keep e-liquid contained during everyday pocket carry, temperature change and travel. Leakage has been one of the most common complaints across the wider pod system category, and addressing it has been a focus of ELFBAR’s engineering team for the past two product cycles.
The device itself
ELFX 2 is a reusable device with a refillable architecture, a rechargeable battery and replaceable pods. Its physical design earned the CMF Design Award earlier this year, in a cycle that also recognised the ELFA Master Stein. Sister product ELFX Mini, alongside the ELFA Master Stein, won the German Design Award in the same year. ELFA Master Stein and ELFX Mini are now available in Germany.
The casing is contoured for one-handed grip. The colour palette is subdued and the material finish is low-gloss. Pods are held in place magnetically and click into position without alignment effort. The e-liquid window keeps refill timing intuitive. The status display communicates battery and pod state at a glance. Airflow and power settings can be adjusted by the user.
“Good design should feel confident, not loud,” said Becky Liu, Head of Industrial Design at ELFBAR. “With ELFX and ELFA, we focus on a clean-cut form, precision, and a calm material touch-feel to bring an elegant and intuitive user experience.”
Why Germany first
Germany is ELFBAR’s largest European market. The company reports a 60 percent share of the country’s pod system category, based on internal data. Prefilled and refillable products — including the ELFX and ELFA pod systems and the ELFLIQ e-liquid range — make up roughly 80 percent of its German shipments. The country has also been the first market to receive several previous ELFBAR product introductions, and the company’s local distribution footprint is the deepest of any of its European markets.
The June launch puts ELFX 2 into German retail at the same moment that European regulators are tightening rules on disposable formats and packaging waste. Reusable pod systems with replaceable components are increasingly being treated by retailers as a separate product category from disposable vapes, and ELFX 2 is positioned within that distinction.
European rollout to follow
ELFX 2 will be the lead product in ELFBAR’s broader European introduction of the award-winning ELFX and ELFA designs. Subsequent market launches will follow Germany in waves. Dates, pricing and channel partners will be communicated market by market.
