Wholesale Vaping Trends Forecast

Being in the vape retail business is like being in any other industry; you need to be aware of market trends so that you can keep your shelves stocked with the products that are actually driving sales. But with so many vape accessories and e-juices, how can you guarantee that your vape shop stays ahead of the competition and offers the products that will make that a reality?

Luckily:

New vaping trends are easy to keep track of when you’re in this business. And even if they aren’t, we aim to make it so. That’s why we’ve included what we consider to be the top vaping market trends and split them into 5 different categories.

Top 5 Trends in Vaping

Pod Box Mods

For long-time vapers, this might sound a little weird, but we’re sure you know what we’re talking about here. In the past, box mods used to be vape devices that vapers took upon themselves to beef up and make more adequate to their vape needs. This is no longer the case.

Pod box mods are a hybrid option that allows your customers to have access to incredibly powerful vape devices that combine that power with the convenience of a pod-based system. Pod box mods are an almost perfect combination of power and portability that clients seem to be more interested in every day.

High Puff Count Disposable Vapes

Disposable vape pens are known for being extremely convenient devices that offer a great alternative for traveling vapers or for people who don’t want to commit to a single vaporizer that they have to maintain or struggle to bring everywhere they go. However, they’ve had a historical flaw; they usually come in a very sleek and compact design that doesn’t enable them to carry much e-liquid in the tank. But that has changed.

Disposable vapes now come in almost every shape and size there is, including disposable vape pens with more than 5000 puffs per device. Not to say that disposable vape pens aren’t the sleek, compact products we once knew- they still are, but now they also come with more vape juice content per unit.

Functional Vape Juice

Vape juice was originally manufactured to provide smokers with an alternative to nicotine consumption that did not involve inhaling smoke. This is already a function-based reason, as for many people, consuming nicotine is more than just a habit built by addiction but also a function-based habit, regardless of what they use it for.

But nicotine is not the only ingredient that is used to infuse vape juice. Other elements like melatonin and hemp-derived ingredients like CBD have also made it to the party. This allows consumers to choose their vape juices depending on a specific goal like better sleep, relaxation, or even pain management.

Tobacco-Free Nicotine (TFN)

Synthetic nicotine, or TFN, is a type of nicotine that is not sourced from tobacco leaves as nicotine has historically been. It has the same composition as tobacco-derived nicotine and offers the same advantages but also provides consumers with a smoother throat hit and vape shops with an easier product to market (regulatory-wise). Whether you have customers looking for TFN products or are having trouble distributing tobacco-derived products, TFN will always be a great option to look into.

Customizable Mods

While the market is becoming more and more dependent on default vape pen factory designs, there’s still a portion of the market that enjoys customization. That said, giving vapers the option of changing coils and materials that impact their vape experience is still a need. Which is also why you should always carry a range of coils, vape tanks, and other accessories that will allow your customers to customize their vape pens.

Final Thoughts

These are what we consider to be the top 5 vape marketing trends for the coming year and the year that is close to ending. However, a new year always comes with new innovations, even more so when it comes to such a quick-paced and fast-growing market like the vape industry.
