Vaping has been attacked for a long time, and some serious damage has been done to the industry in some of the biggest markets. But the curve ball that is worrying to me is the collapse of the manufacturing of devices.
This is looming large on the near horizon, preceded by massive price increases in hardware. That is my current view, it may or may not, or may partially, come to pass but it is always wise to keep an eye on macro events.
There are a plethora of reasons for the *probable* collapse of vaping hardware manufacture, partly because the demand has been crippled and starting up large-scale manufacturing in alternative markets is not a wise economic decision
So you wake up 12-18 months from now, your device het gekalf, there are no replacements available. For a while you can cope with the odd find of a new device, and for the rest buy used devices, which have also tripled in price.
How will you solve this problem? Hopefully not by smoking, though I expect about 80% of vapers will, sadly.
