Kardinal reintroduces the open system to the market and pushes it forward. With adjustable power, custom airflow, and OLED readouts, the OS is designed for discerning users who want complete control over their device.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – Looking to the past to innovate the future, Malaysia-based leader in alternative nicotine solutions—Kardinal—is reintroducing the open system to the market with the aptly named OS.
Innovating the Future Through the Past
The OS brings together the freedom of classic open systems with the refinement of modern device engineering. Users can refill their cartridges with the e-liquid of their choice, adjust wattage output, and fine-tune airflow—now delivered in the streamlined form factor and intuitive learning curve of a closed pod system.
With a single button for power control (5-30W), a toggle for stepless airflow control, and a 0.5’’ OLED display to keep users informed on live wattage, battery life, and more, the OS puts total control at your fingertips.
Powered by a 1000mAh battery with USB-C fast charging, the OS supports consistent performance throughout the day, minimising downtime and maximising usability.
Tailored Performance, Your Way
To further enhance customisation, the OS is compatible with three colour-coded 2ml cartridges, each designed with a different resistance level:
- Yellow – 0.4Ω, for stronger vapour output
- Red – 0.6Ω, for balanced performance
- Black – 0.8Ω, for a tighter draw and refined flavour delivery

This range allows users to fine-tune their experience according to personal preference, whether prioritising intensity, smoothness, or efficiency.
A New Standard for Open Systems
“With the OS, we wanted to honour the heritage of open systems while bringing it into a form that feels relevant today,” said Daniel Ong, CEO of Kardinal Industries (M) Sdn Bhd. “This device gives users meaningful control without complexity, empowering experienced users, and inviting curious ones to explore a more nuanced experience. It represents our ongoing commitment to thoughtful innovation and choice.”
With the OS, Kardinal reaffirms its commitment to practical innovation—empowering adult users with the tools to shape their experience, their way.
The OS is now available at authorised Kardinal retailers. Find your nearest store via the Store Locator.
