VAPE was created to help people quit smoking, but in reality, it can only be used to replace cigarettes, which is intended to reduce their use. Nevertheless, VAPE is still a great invention, aligning with humanity's pursuit of a healthier concept.
I have been in the VAPE industry since 2008, working for First Union, a leading company at the time. Then, in 2010, I joined an excellent e-cigarette company called KIMREE. As a result of my experience there, I started my own company in 2013, with a name similar to KIMREE's. I've been working on it ever since.
Like any consumer electronics industry that transitions from an explosive and chaotic state to a more balanced ecosystem, the vaping industry is no exception. As an accurate patriarchal figure in the ecig or vape, I give you a rundown of the industry's turbulent historical floodgates.
| Period | Mainstream Product | The state of the industry at the time | Primary Markets | What am I doing? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2006-2007 | Split type, Appearance of cigarettes | At this time, e-cigarettes have been around for only the last 3-4 years, and the product development concept is outdated, with the manufacturing technology being very backward. The atomizer device is divided into two components: the container and the heat generator. The sealing technology is unstable, resulting in smoke oil entering the atomizer warehouse not smoothly, which leads to poor taste and makes it very easy for oil to leak. | Very few countries in Europe and America | I wasn't in the e-cigarette business at that time |
| 2008-2011 | Disposable atomizer & 510 battery, and a Diameter of 9.2mm, Disposable shisha vape | Over the past few years, the vape industry has undergone rapid development, with significant improvements and breakthroughs in technology and processes. Specifically, the atomizer technology used before the separation of the oil compartment and the heating body is now separated into a peripheral package for the oil storage cotton and the heating body. The battery components of the switch part, previously using a mechanical or reed switch, have been upgraded to an integrated microphone program. These years have made an indelible contribution to the development of the e-cigarette industry. You could call 2010 the year of the e-cigarette. | U.S.-dominated, Europe-supported. Europe is experiencing a significant uptrend. | I started in the e-cigarette industry and have seen some of the companies (First Union, Kimree, Joytech, Kanger, Aspire, etc) grow and industry details firsthand, and as a structural engineer |
| 2012-2015 | Diameter 9.2mm Disposable vape pen, EGO/CE4 Series, Mechanics Vapes (RDA,RTA,RBA,Tank, Mechanic MOD,MOD with chip DNA 30) | In the past few years, the vaping industry has undergone significant changes, both in terms of product innovation and company status. The first major companies in the sector still insisted on the 9.2 diameter cigarette-like varieties, because most of their customers are overseas cigarette companies or relatively mature brand companies, which are mainly focused on volume, and the cigarette-like Vapes are suitable for meeting volume requirements. At the same time, based on the needs of e-cigarette consumers, products must be innovative, offering increased oil capacity, larger batteries, and an enhanced smoking experience, while also fulfilling the entertainment aspect of the product. | The U.S. remains a significant market, but policy issues began to emerge in 2015, leading to a decline in sales of D9.2mm small cigarettes. | started my own company in 2013 under the name KINGTU. Since I was beginning, I chose the 528 CUSTOM RDA Mechanical Cigarettes as my mainstream product. I've personally experienced the demise of the small 9.2mm E cigarettes, and in contrast, mechanical Vapes and power-tuned e-cigarette kits are thriving. |
| 2016-2020 | Disposable vape pen over 14mm diameter, Empty CBD VAPE, Ccell/AC 1003 CBD cartridge, 510 CBD Batteries | The cannabis industry's demand for vapes has helped a lot of small and medium-sized companies in the past 5 years. In 2017, JUUL's first use of nicotine salts saved the disposable e-cigarette. Since then, disposable vape pens have experienced a resurgence. | The U.S. remained the most significant market from 2016 to 2019, with CBD vapes and disposable vapes with cotton being the main categories sold. However, in October 2019, the U.S. made a significant change that altered the U.S. market's position as the number one market for e-cigarettes. | At that time, I still insisted on developing RDAs, such as the Dead Rabbit brand. At the same time, I began to devote myself to researching CBD vapes, such as the formulation of ceramics, the selection of materials for the heating wire, the customization of the oil inlet holes for CBD and THC oils, and scientific research with clients on how to design the best CBD vapes to match the hemp oil in the United States. |
| 2021-present | Richarge & Disposable e-cigarettes: larger than 14mm diameter,/box-shaped,/with a display of charge and oil level. CBD vapes: Hidden cartridge 510 box battery/510 thread, CBD battery with display,/Disposable CBD vape pen | The technology of e-cigarettes has evolved slowly over the past few years. Disposable e-cig just from the shape of the changes made, the diameter has increased from 14mm to become larger, and the shape is now box-shaped. The CBD vape is catching up with the shift to disposable vapes. | The entire market landscape is becoming more transparent; the United States is no longer the only and most important market for disposable nicotine salt e-cigarettes, and vape factories are starting to look beyond the United States, including African countries. | Through in-depth research and a thousand validations of CBD vapes and peripheral accessories over the last few years, I've built a medium-sized CBD VAPE factory. It's not an exaggeration to say that, even compared to the giants of the industry, we're not too far behind in terms of technology. |
