What Trends We Found from World Vape Show 2024 in Dubai?

From June 12th to 14th, 2024, the Dubai World Trade Center hosted the renowned vape exhibition. It's reported that over 400 vape suppliers showed up, along with more than 19,000 visitors. Although this show primarily focused on business-to-business interactions, it also attracted many vape enthusiasts around the globe to explore the latest products and innovations.

At this exhibition, many brands showcased their new products with intriguing designs, latest technology, and fabulous flavors. From these products, we can see the key emerging trends that are shaping the future of vaping. Here we go.

1. Smart Vapes

Nowadays, more brands invest heavily in their products. The vapes are more likely to be considered as consumer electronics than only cigarette alternatives, after being involved with advanced technology. These devices are integrated with smart features, such as:

APP Operation: Vapers can control their devices via smartphone Apps.

Video Games and Screen Displays: Customized screens and built-in games increase entertainment.

Phone Functionality: Some devices can make or receive calls after being connected to smartphone via Bluetooth.

Health Monitoring: Smart sensors that track users heart rate and other health metrics.

With these advancements, vapers can obtain a more personalized and convenient vaping experience. YOOZ smart vape series is the hit at the show. It introduced four new models, including disposable vapes and pod systems. In the early days, we only found that smart large screens were mostly used on disposable vapes, while now they're extended to pod systems.

2. DTL (Direct to Lung) Vapes

DTL vaping is usually favored by seasoned vapers for its more dense vapor and strong vaping experience. It's a way of inhaling the vapor from the e-cigarette directly into the lungs, kind of like smoking shisha/hookah, which is very popular among Middle Eastern people. But shisha devices are often difficult to use and not easy to carry around.

Many brands tried to find the balance and develop disposable vapes to bring a similar vaping experience that shishas offer. For instance, Nasty HOOQA DF15Ki is the latest DTL disposable vape powered by its new Freebase Nicotine formula.

ALFAKHER launched the Crown Bar 15k and 20k models, featuring dust cover designs, side screens, and adjustable airflow, providing a shisha-like experience in a portable form.

3. 20k+ Large Puffs

Unlike vaping trends in the UK, where legal vapes must comply with TPD regulations that require max 2ml per device, and 10ml per liquid bottle, so basically all disposable vapes entering the UK and European markets are restricted to small puffs.

Considering the cost-effective feature and more extended vaping session, large puffs disposable vapes significantly enhance convenience and user satisfaction. Now many brands' new products can deliver up to 30k puffs in the Middle East and USA. This trend is appealing to heavy vapers and those looking for a long-lasting vaping experience.

4. Large Screen Design

The aesthetic and functional appeal of large-screen designs was evident at the show, including side screen, all-covered full screen, curved screen, not only limited to previous small screen design. ELUX released its new model that is equipped with a detachable screen design for environmental sustainability. It also comes with an exclusive APP, so users can check the liquid and battery levels by downloading the application.

Anyway, these different styles large screens enhance the visual experience and provide users with easy access to device settings, battery levels, puff counts, and other vital statistics.

5. Clear Liquid Tank Design

Manufacturers use advanced technology to increase liquid capacity while maintaining device size. Clear liquid tank design enables users to see the e-liquid level at a glance, eliminating guesswork. They can have no worries about the health risks.

6. Nicotine Pouches

Beyond traditional vaping products, nicotine pouches emerged as a significant trend. We found a majority of brand suppliers pushed out their own branded nicotine pouches. These pouches offer an alternative nicotine solution that doesn't involve inhalation.

Nicotine pouches are discreet, easy to use, and provide a consistent nicotine release, making them an attractive option for those seeking an alternative to smoking or vaping. This trend underscores the industrys move towards offering diverse and innovative nicotine delivery systems.

Conclusion

The World Vape Show 2024 in Dubai highlighted several emerging trends that are set to shape the future of the vaping industry. As these trends continue to evolve, they will likely drive innovation and growth, ensuring a dynamic and responsive vaping market. Let’s stay tuned!
