iKrusher Returns to AGC for a Third Year — Debuting eKo Viro
AGC SILVER SPONSOR · 2026 EXECUTIVE INVITATIONAL
iKrusher Returns to AGC for a Third Year
Debuting eKo Viro — a greener direction in vape hardware
_When a sponsor commits to a third consecutive year, it signals more than support. It signals belief. iKrusher returns to the 2026 Arizona Golf Classic as a Silver Sponsor — and brings with them a hardware debut they want the industry to see first._
A PATTERN OF SHOWING UP
The Third-Year Sponsor
Few brands have grown alongside the Arizona Golf Classic the way iKrusher has. This is their third consecutive year as a Silver Sponsor — a tenure that puts them among AGC’s longest-standing partners and quietly anchors the relationship between premium vape hardware and the executives who shape where the category goes next.
At a tournament built around the mantra _“Play. Network. Be Seen.”_ iKrusher has chosen to do all three, year after year. Returning sponsors are how an event earns institutional credibility. iKrusher is one of the brands giving AGC that credibility.
THE BIGGER STORY
Sustainability Is Becoming a Retail Differentiator
The vape category is maturing, and with maturity comes the same question every consumer category has eventually had to answer: what does the product say about the brand carrying it?
In retail today, sustainability is no longer a niche claim. It is increasingly the decision factor that lifts one display over another. High product volume makes responsible disposal a more meaningful story over time. Storefront presence creates a clear platform for visible sustainability action. And brands that take that opportunity early earn perception advantages that compound across the rest of their assortment.
That is the bet iKrusher is making with its new line.
MEET THE LINE
Introducing eKo — and the Viro
eKo is iKrusher’s eco-forward hardware line. Viro is its first device, and the one taking center stage at AGC 2026.
Viro is an all-in-one (AIO) vape designed for retail-readiness without giving up shelf appeal: clean geometry, premium feel, a biodegradable shell with a PLA core, and a medical-grade mouthpiece and tank. It is built to look like a product, not a press release.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Hardware That Carries the Story
Differentiation in vape hardware is hard to come by — most devices arrive on shelves looking like every other device next to them. Viro stakes out a few points of separation worth attention.
Tool-free battery removal. The battery separates from the device without specialized equipment. That is not a marketing line; it is an engineering choice that turns the recycling story from aspiration into an action a customer can actually take.
Medical-grade build. The mouthpiece and tank meet the standards governing medical devices, raising the floor on consumer trust at the point of contact.
Biodegradable shell, PLA core. The housing is designed to break down naturally; the structural core uses polylactic acid derived from plant-based feedstock rather than petroleum plastics.
Customization-ready. Silk printing, 3D printing, hot stamping, and laser engraving let brands make Viro feel like theirs without compromising the eco-forward direction. (Laser engraving is the most eco-friendly of the four.)
Automation-ready packaging. Packed in boxes of 50, designed for production scale from day one rather than retrofitted later.
THE RECYCLING LOOP
Sustainability a Customer Can See
The product story does not end at purchase. Viro is designed to make the recycling loop visible — and participatory.
In-store battery drop-off points convert a one-time transaction into a recurring moment of brand engagement: the customer buys, uses, returns the spent battery to the same retailer, and walks out reinforced that they are shopping somewhere that takes lifecycle seriously. That is the mechanic iKrusher is offering retail partners alongside the device itself — not just a product, but a participatory program.
For retailers with strong shelf presence and consistent volume, that program is a low-cost way to convert sustainability from a claim on packaging into a recurring touchpoint with the customer.
“A greener hardware direction works when the customer can see it, hold it, and act on it. Viro is engineered for all three.”
