Vape maker PuffBar uses Vechain blockchain to fight counterfeiting – Bits Media

The manufacturer of electronic cigarettes and waging goods PuffBar will use VECHAIN ​​blockchain to combat fake products, and also begin to accept BCH and ETH for payment.

PuffBar is controlled by Cool Clouds Distribution, founded in 2019 year and registered in Los Angeles. Cool Clouds stopped selling its products in the United States after, as an Office for supervision of the quality of food and US medicines (FDA) It was forbidden to sell flavored electronic cigarettes.

The reason was that, that these goods began to be popular among children and adolescents. Puffbar's leadership reported, that in July 2020 year the company withdrew from the sale of wake, And now the fakes have flooded almost the entire market. Despite warnings, so that people stop crossing the links to sites, where fake products are sold, It is difficult to stop scammers.

The company came to the conclusion, that the only way out to “save the situation” will be blockchain. The manufacturer will use VECHAIN ​​technology, so that buyers can check the authenticity of wipes, When they return to store shelves again. PuFFBAR will also cooperate with the French Cypheme company to combat the production of counterfeit products. Cypheme will make special marching ink margins, which will be glued to the goods.

All information about the products will be stored in the blockchain. When buying products, the client can take a picture of stickers using a mobile phone. Vechain technology will allow 5 seconds to catch any microdectors on the sticker, which are not visible to the naked eye. This is how the authenticity of the products will be checked. Puffbar's leadership reported, what will begin to implement this initiative in the United States in the next few weeks.

“The use of blockchain will save us money-we lose profit due to that, that people buy fakes. Blockchain will also help prove our innocence in the case of lawsuits from injured users ".

Blockchain is increasingly used to confirm the quality and authenticity of goods. So, Last year, the American retail network Walmart began to use IBM technology to track the supply chain of Indian shrimp, And the retail giant Carrefour began to use a blockchain to track milk.
