Predictions for vaping in 2018

Thanks for spotting this and for creating the new thread @Chukin'Vape

This will be interesting to follow...
 
This is a tough one but i see a year where 18650 battery mods will be replaced with 20700 battery mods.

I also think there will be more dual battery squonkers available.
And even some single 26650 squonkers.

So basically allot of emphasis on batteries for the year 2018
 
Predictions...
1. Some manufacturers will heed our call for regulated squonkers. Not many though.
2. Prepare for an upset in vape regulation, can not see if it will be good or bad but it will be significant.
3. Demand for HE stuff will slack off a bit although the goods will increase in variety.
4. Closed systems will become the recomended entry devices for new vapers.
5. Some local venders (at least one established brand) will expand from curent speciality focus into specialising in diy concentrates of the same house brand.
6. Samething has me mindfull of battery technology. Hope its not connected to point no 2.

Thats all the bones reveal at this point in time. The gods speak through me as opposed to me speaking for the gods... Lol.

Regards

On point one, specifically dual batery regulated devices. On point 3 its more that the line between HE and regular stuff will become blurry. Invasion of the clones??

MTL devices will get some attention and momentum.
High End will continue to grow with vapers maybe choosing one or two high end devices rather than multiple normal setups.
The difference between high end tanks and chinese tanks will start to get much closer.
There will be tons of cheap crap out there but more and more middle of the road costing devices and tank will start to rival high end.
RTA's will start to become more popular as the gap between std and HE closes!
 
More regulated squonkers.
More tanks dedicated to MTL.
MTL RDAs for squonkers.
Ceramic wicking material.
Higher nic juices.
 
1) Regulated Squonkers
2) More exciting collaborations between local juice masters
3) One or two more wire materials
4) +- four more BB’s for @Rob Fisher
 
All of above but I also think there will be more of the stealthy AIO devices with replaceable coils and refillable systems like the Aspire Breeze, SV AIO, Mi-One and the like.
Advancement in battery technology aimed specifically at the vape industry.
Culling of “HE” Tupperware manufacturers.
Upsurge in One Shot/just add PG/VG and nic type e-liquid...
 
My hopes for 2018

More Ice, ice baby!
More tobaccoes!
More nic!
:D
 
Interesting thread.

As far as I was told, by an ex Twisp employee (ex Area manager for the Western Cape). The law has been set to change. Something along those lines. Perhaps similar to the cannabis law? They want to classify all "Vape" devices of any sort, including juices, as tobacco products and this means no more vape stores in malls. No more vape stores in any public buildings. Juice and labels subject to regulation and nicotine regulation too. Now I don't know this to be fact and I don't know when the regulations are set to come in, if at all. But I fear this may mean vape stores will need to be inside independant buildings or solely online. I think they also plan on irradicating all indoor smoking areas.

Scary stuff.

I heard that Marlboro has dumped some cash into the US vape industry. I can't see that as a positive.

Most excitingly, I see more and more South African made mods. I'm looking forward to being able to pick up something really high end and local. I think It'd be so awesome to see local modders taking advantage of our local and natural resources.
 
The crystal ball is showing me a squonker system which drips juice from the top of the atty. It is a dual cell regulated device, very nicely shaped. I fear there will be no good reason not to buy it.

there is now a Twisp stand right inside the Makro near me, was getting plenty attention last Saturday
 
2018 will bring more regulations. I predict that no one will be allowed to work in B+M stores unless they have the following:

a) a baseball or snap back turned backwards.
b) a full beard.
c) lots of tattoos.
d) some form of facial piercing(s).

Females may be allowed an exclusion to point b) under a hastily reconsidered amendment to these regulations.
 
- cotton that is pre-cut to accommodate coils at the usual 2mm, 2,5mm, 3mm etc diameters, getting the cotton to the right fit and wastage are pia,
- more single coil tanks
- dual battery squonkers with innovative juice delivery methods
 
Most of our thoughts,it seems,have already been mentioned above.

On a lighter note,being a cloud chaser-I think that alot more fancy builds are going to be discovered in 2018 (for example these hotplate and dragon coil ideas) in an attempt to create denser and more lengthy clouds.
Also,I think that alot more regulated mods will be released with extremely low resistance levels (0.05ohms or lower)
