PODA's unique patent protected product has the attention of all vape system producers...who are probably knocking on the door as you read this...the future is exceptionally bright......IMO major players will move very quickly on PODA..
Six years ago, unencumbered by the antiquated machinery of Big Tobacco, we set out to create a truly revolutionary product that solved the major pain-point in all heated-tobacco systems: cleaning. We spent the next six years designing, redesigning, and perfecting the Poda system. After years of tireless work, we are incredibly proud of what we have accomplished. The Poda system delivers an unparalleled user experience that is robust, flavorful, and consistent. We first applied for patent protection for our revolutionary closed-ended cigarette design in 2017 and have since extended our patent coverage into over 65 countries. Poda is now essentially the only company in the world that can make a closed-ended HNB cigarette.
But designing an incredible HNB system was not enough. We aimed even higher and developed a heat-tolerant biodegradable material made from the cell walls of sustainably harvested plants. This naturally derived and low-cost material allows us to produce our patented Beyond Burn™ Poda Pods not only incredibly efficiently, but also in an ethical and sustainable manner. Due to the complexities of using biodegradable materials to produce our pods, we were told time and again by every factory we approached that producing our closed-ended cigarettes was impossible. But we were not willing to take no for an answer. We spent the next two years developing a revolutionary method for producing our closed-ended cigarettes, and an additional year developing the machinery to produce the products at scale. We have now filed for patent protection for both our proprietary biodegradable plant cellulose materials used to make our closed-ended HNB cigarettes, as well as the proprietary methods for manufacturing them. These patents provide us with triple-pronged protection; not only is the closed-ended design patent protected, but so is the biodegradable material and the production equipment needed to make our closed-ended HNB cigarettes. After six years of development, we are finally ready to bring our revolutionary HNB product to the masses.
