What Smoant does

Smoant is a Shenzhen-headquartered vaping hardware brand operated as a subsidiary of Cloupor Group, which was founded in September 2013 and launched the Smoant brand in 2016. The company designs, manufactures, and markets a comprehensive portfolio of pod systems (Pasito, Charon, Knight, Levin, Santi series), higher-wattage box mods (Battlestar, Charon, Naboo, Cylon, Ladon), and a recurring-revenue consumables line built around four coil series (S, K, P, Pasito). Its core technical differentiator is the proprietary ANT-CHIP AI chipset, which performs automatic coil recognition, dynamic power adjustment, and safety protection across the device lineup, paired with mesh coil technology and — in newer models — AI-driven flavor modes and a Smart Puff Log feature. Manufacturing is vertically integrated at an automated Dongguan production base using self-developed robot arms, which the company reports improves production efficiency by more than 50% versus manual assembly; Cloupor was recognized as a High-tech Enterprise in 2022 and operates Class 100,000 cleanrooms aligned with FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality standards.

Smoant sells through a hybrid B2B / B2C model. The wholesale and distribution channel ([email protected]) supplies regional vape distributors across Southeast Asia, Europe (Hall of Vape Germany), the Philippines, and Indonesia, complemented by a wholly-owned Malaysian subsidiary established in 2021 as the group's first overseas entity. Direct consumer sales are conducted through the company's own e-commerce storefront and supported by an after-sales channel ([email protected]). Marketing relies on social media (Facebook, VK, YouTube, Instagram), editorial blog and video content, and exhibition participation rather than paid performance spend. The end customer is the adult vaper in legal-age markets, while the contracted buyer is typically an SMB distributor. No public revenue, funding, or unit-volume figures are disclosed.

The R&D backbone is anchored by formal research partnerships with four Chinese universities (Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan Textile University, Wuhan Institute of Advanced Technology, and China University of Geosciences), and the company holds over 500 worldwide patents — utility models, product appearance, invention, PCT, and software copyrights. The product cadence has accelerated in 2024–2026, with eight new pod systems launched in 2024, the Pasito III flagship in late 2025, and two AI-enabled SKUs (Flex Neo and Racer Flex) in 2026. The company is privately held under the Cloupor Group umbrella, which also owns the Cloupor and ANTBAR brands, and has not disclosed any external funding rounds.
