With increasing flavour bans in key markets, vaping brands are facing significant challenges in providing satisfying alternatives to vapers and smokers looking to transition. Recognising this need, Alchem NicSelect™ is making a bold move by offering its key customers royalty-free and unrestricted geographical access to its revolutionary T-MAX™ technology.
“At Alchem NicSelect™, we understand the urgency for vaping brands to adapt to new regulations without compromising on satisfaction. By offering royalty-free access to T-MAX™ technology, we empower our customers to provide the closest cigarette-like experience possible, even in markets with strict flavour restrictions,” said Riccardo Santambrogio, Europe Sales Manager.

Addressing the biggest barrier: Nicotine satisfaction
One of the primary reasons many vapers are dissatisfied and smokers struggle to switch to vaping is that traditional nicotine solutions fail to replicate the rapid satisfaction provided by cigarettes. Nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs) and even conventional vaping products often lack the immediate nicotine hit, throat feel, and overall experience that smokers are accustomed to. T-MAX™ solves this problem by engineering a nicotine experience that closely mimics cigarette consumption without relying on flavours.
T-MAX™ provides a unique 3-in-1 approach:
1. The Speed of a Cigarette – Rapid nicotine delivery and rush within seconds for immediate satisfaction.
2. The Power of Nicotine Salts – A stronger perceived nicotine effect without exceeding legal limits (20 mg/ml nicotine limit under the European Tobacco Products Directive). With T-MAX™, 8 mg/ml feels like 20 mg/ml, and 14 mg/ml feels like 40 mg/ml.
3. The Throat Hit of Freebase Nicotine – Especially in a flavour-free formulation, the combined ingredients in T-MAX™ deliver an even more satisfying throat feel than expected from nicotine base, much closer to and more familiar with a cigarette throat feel that habitual smokers recognise.

No flavour, but not less satisfying
While flavours have traditionally played a role in vaping adoption, market realities are shifting. With flavour bans spreading across regions, brands need solutions that deliver satisfaction without relying on taste.
Consumer research has shown that T-MAX™ performs exceptionally well even without added flavours. Since most cigarette smokers do not smoke for the tobacco flavour but rather for the nicotine hit and habitual experience, T-MAX™ provides a viable alternative that aligns with new regulatory landscapes.

Empowering vape brands with free access to T-MAX™
By granting customers royalty-free access to the T-MAX™ technology, Alchem NicSelect™ is removing barriers for vaping brands and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) looking to adapt to regulatory changes. This open-access approach ensures that manufacturers can integrate T-MAX™ into their product lines without additional costs, allowing them to offer superior nicotine satisfaction in markets where flavours are no longer an option.

By delivering the key elements of cigarette satisfaction — without combustion or flavours — T-MAX™ is set to redefine what a satisfying vape experience means in a post-flavour-ban world.
“Our commitment to innovation and accessibility means we are providing our customers with the solutions they need to navigate an evolving regulatory landscape. T-MAX™ allows brands to offer a highly satisfying experience that mimics smoking without relying on flavours. The message is clear: no flavour, but not less satisfying”, added Santambrogio.
