Greentank Takes Home Two Major Awards at InterTabac 2026

Nura Zero and Quantum Chip™ recognized at the InterTabac World Alternative Awards, marking a major milestone in Greentank’s mission to advance the future of vaporization.

Greentank is proud to announce that two of our groundbreaking innovations have been recognized at the 2026 InterTabac World Alternative Awards in Dortmund, Germany, earning top honours in two major categories:

Best Vape Device of the Year
Crown Switch (Nura Zero)

Best Reduced Risk Concept / Innovation of the Year
Quantum Chip™

For Greentank, these awards represent much more than industry recognition. They mark an important milestone in a journey that has taken years of research, engineering, testing, iteration and collaboration to bring an entirely new approach to vaporization from the laboratory to the global market.

And in many ways, we believe the journey is just beginning.

Years in the Making

Quantum Chip™ was born from a simple but ambitious question:

Can we fundamentally rethink the way vapor is created?

For years, conventional vaporization technology has largely relied on variations of the same basic heating architecture. Greentank saw an opportunity to approach the challenge differently.

Rather than simply making incremental improvements to existing technology, our R&D and engineering teams set out to rethink the heating system itself.

The result was Quantum Chip™, a precision-engineered atomization platform designed to deliver greater control over how liquid is transported, heated and converted into aerosol.

Getting there was anything but simple.

Years of development went into understanding the complex relationship between heating technology, airflow, liquid delivery, aerosol formation, materials and device architecture. Countless prototypes were engineered, tested, analyzed and refined as our teams worked to transform a promising concept into technology capable of performing reliably at commercial scale.

That process ultimately resulted in a new atomization architecture built around thousands of precision-engineered microchannels, designed to rapidly transport and aerosolize liquid without relying on a conventional porous ceramic heating structure.

But developing groundbreaking technology is only part of the challenge.

The real test is bringing it to market.

From Breakthrough Technology to a Complete Product

Nura Zero represents the next step in that evolution.

Commercialized in partnership with AIR as Crown Switch, the platform combines Greentank’s advanced device engineering with Quantum Chip™ atomization technology to create a complete consumer-ready vapor system.

The objective was not simply to build a new device around a new heating element. Every part of the platform had to work together.

Airflow. Power delivery. Pod architecture. Liquid management. Materials. Industrial design. Manufacturing. Reliability. User experience.

Each element was engineered and refined to help unlock the potential of the technology at its core.

The result is a vapor platform designed around consistency, performance and an elevated experience from beginning to end.

Winning Best Vape Device of the Year for Nura Zero represents an important validation of that complete-system approach.

Winning Best Reduced Risk Concept / Innovation of the Year for Quantum Chip™ at the same event makes the moment even more meaningful.

Together, the two awards recognize both sides of the equation: the foundational atomization technology and the finished product built around it.

Innovation With a Bigger Purpose

The InterTabac recognition also speaks to a much larger opportunity.

The future of vaporization cannot be defined by performance alone.

As the global nicotine industry continues to evolve, the expectations placed on next-generation products are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Product experience matters, but so do aerosol science, material selection, consistency, manufacturing quality and the continued pursuit of reduced-risk alternatives to combustible products.

That is where we believe advanced engineering can make a meaningful difference.

Quantum Chip™ was developed to give Greentank greater control over one of the most important parts of any vapor product: the moment liquid becomes aerosol.

By continuing to advance the science and engineering behind that process, we believe there is an opportunity to create products that not only perform better, but help move the entire category forward.

The recognition of Quantum Chip™ as Best Reduced Risk Concept / Innovation of the Year reinforces the importance of continuing that work.

Built by an Incredible Team

Awards may be collected on a stage, but they are earned long before anyone steps onto it.

These two awards belong to the people who spent years bringing these technologies to life.

They belong to our scientists and engineers who challenged assumptions and solved problems that did not always have obvious answers.

They belong to our product development and manufacturing teams who transformed prototypes into scalable commercial products.

They belong to our quality, regulatory and operations teams who helped turn innovation into something that could perform consistently in the real world.

And they belong to the partners and customers who shared our belief that vaporization technology could be pushed further.

Building something genuinely new requires patience, persistence and a willingness to keep improving even when the easier path is available.

We could not be prouder of the team that made this possible.

The Next Chapter of Vaporization

Winning two major awards at InterTabac is a moment worth celebrating.

But it is not the finish line.

For Greentank, it is further motivation to continue investing in the science, engineering and manufacturing capabilities required to advance vaporization technology.

Quantum Chip™ has already undergone years of development and continued iteration. Nura Zero demonstrates what becomes possible when that technology is integrated into a complete next-generation platform.

Now our focus turns to what comes next.

New generations. New form factors. New applications. Continued research into aerosol performance and reduced-risk innovation. And new opportunities to work with global partners that share our vision for where the category can go.

The industry is changing quickly, and the technologies that define its future are being built today.

We are incredibly proud to see Nura Zero and Quantum Chip™ recognized on one of the industry’s biggest international stages.

More importantly, we are proud of what these awards represent:

Years of hard work. A relentless commitment to innovation. And another major step toward the future of vaporization.

The future is being built now. And Greentank is just getting started.
