I was asked to do a little writing for the Ashtray-Blog on my thoughts for vaping in 2015, much like the previous 2 years (wow how time flies). You can see all of the thoughts/predictions from others in the industry HERE.
Here’s what I had to say…
The Battle! The battle will continue in 2015. Bans, regulations, taxes, and all the other nonsense we’ve grown accustom to. Although we’ve grown accustomed to it, we can’t overlook it. It’s not the boy who cried wolf. This WILL affect us all eventually and we need to remain involved and continue to fight for our rights as vapers. I’d very much like to see a more coordinated effort and perhaps a “joining of forces” between the different groups currently available. Will vaping go away? At this point, I don’t think so. But how we choose to vape is constantly in jeopardy.
Research! We’re going to see a lot more research being done on what we do and how we do things. Temperatures, liquids, wires, wicking materials will all continue to be tested and looked at. This can only benefits us as vapers, giving us the information we need to make better informed decisions on how we vape should we chose to use the information provided.
Drama! I think the line between how vapers vape will continue to grow and I feel very disheartened by this. What we vape and how we vape it should not be important. The fact that we do vape should be paramount. We are all vapers.
Temperature! I firmly believe 2015 will be the year of temperature control. Different systems, boards, and devices that allow us to regulate, control, and limit our vape via temperature. I believe the DNA-40 is only the beginning.
Box & Regulated Mods! I think we’re going to see the decline in the popularity of tube and mechanical mods, but certainly not the death of them. They will always have their place and fans. I think the tube mod is a natural progression due to the shape of a cigarette and a battery, but in a personal vaporizer, I think the box mod just makes more sense. Onboard chargers and the ability to easily change batteries only add to their appeal.
Clearomizers! The vape quality and consistency of the clearomizer continues to improve vastly over where we began. I think we will see the first replaceable head clearomizer that rivals the vape quality of the Kayfun in 2015.
No Wick, No Wire, This IS a Game Changers! Ok, look, I’m going to continue to predict this until it comes true.
Wattage! China will make the “Legal Vape 4000” a reality.
Pink! Dimitris’ love affair with the color pink will continue to grow and flourish.
Happy Vaping everyone and I wish you nothing but the best for 2015! THANK YOU!
