Press Relase

At the recent Indonesia exhibition, Geekvape collaborated with Indonesian industry leaders to discuss and reveal future trends in the market.

Below is a summary of their key views and insights on future industry trends:

Q1. Can you tell me about the current trends in the Indonesian market by category?

Wholesaler Santo (Jualvape):The current trend is towards POD, AIO, and MOD systems. And for disposable in market maybe good but only in Bali and center Jakarta.

Retailer Dewi (6V9 Bali): In my area, POD and MOD systems are popular but disposable products are emerging. Although not a professional field here, I am ready to enter the disposable market.

E-liquid dealer Paiy (Clouds Heaven Makassar ): For the Indonesian vape market, especially in Makassar, POD systems are currently booming.

Q2. What do you think of the future of different segments – eg disposables vs pods vs advanced open systems?

Wholesaler Budi (vapebay): The high tax and lack of customer education make it difficult to sell disposable products this year.

Retailer: Esji ( Oracle vape store Bali) : I believe that in the future, pod and disposable systems will achieve a balance in the market due to their simplicity. If the liquid runs out, just replace it; if the cartridge tastes bad, just change it.

Indonesian people prefer simple things over complicated ones.

E-liquid dealer Andri (Vapehitz): No matter which kind, let the customer choose for themselves, it is the user’s choice. In my store, we still don’t sell disposables because they are expensive and wasteful. Disposable products may not be popular in some cities but could be more common in larger ones.

Q3. In your opinion, what are Indonesian consumers’ purchasing habits and considerations to be taken into account?

Retailer Andy(Vapestore Pekalongan): For first price, next service to customers, must think about customer satisfaction.

Retailer: Aji and Nunu (Agata vape)

Aji: First, Whether there are new devices, second, there are cheap ones, and the newest and viral.

Nunu: usually cheap, new, viral, and good colors, where I really like bright colors.

Retailer: Sandi and Riki (GM Vapor Palu)

Sandi: First cheap, which is again a trend, and color models
Riki: Usually price, the second is the color model, the third is product durability.

Q4. Do you have any knowledge and insights to share with those who work in the Indonesian e-cigarette industry

Wholesaler Budi (JVS): He should be consistent and work hard, manage his new store well, and focus on it.

Retailer Juna (Junavape Bali): If you want to start your business in this industry, you need to fully understand your products. It’s not just about selling them, but also educating your customers. Make sure your customer is your best friend and not the other way around.

E-liquid dealer Adit (Tokovapeku/preva): Don’t open new store if u don’t have prepare, Knows market in your location first, which product your area love it, don’t be people pleaser.

Q5. How exactly does vaping help people quit smoking cigarettes?

Retailer Wayne (SarangVape): We can’t blame smokers or vapers for their choices in life, let’s not make them different from each other and respect what they like.

Retailer Tyo (DaggerVape): It depends on the individual, as vaping can be helpful or not.

Retailer Algus (vapormania medan): The cost of vaping is mostly cheaper than smoking cigarettes, and it’s also a healthier alternative. If smokers knew this, I believe they would switch to vaping.

According to the analysis of industry leaders, in Indonesia’s e-cigarette market, the current trend is still dominated by POD system, followed by MOD. Disposable are only popular in central Jakarta and some resort areas like Bali. In the future market, pods and disposables will maintain a balance, and the Indonesian e-cigarette market is booming.

Geekvape Sea sale director Alan Wong said Indonesia is one of the largest e-cigarette markets in Southeast Asia, which has achieved rapid growth in the past few years and is expected to continue to expand in the future.

The Pod will remain a mainstream product for a long time to come, To meet market trends, Geekvape introduced the Q series, designed specifically for Indonesian users’ preferences in appearance, taste, cartridge compatibility, and cost-effectiveness.

With its superior product strength, GEEKVAPE is able to gain a large market share by 2023. According to his estimates, GEEKVAPE should be in the top five in the Indonesian market.

Alan Wong emphasised the importance of the Indonesian market to Geekvape and plans to increase investment in R&D, design, marketing, sales, and warehousing. The focus is on improving user experience, benefiting partners, promoting industry growth and healthy development.

Welcome back, friends! Today, Captain is here to introduce you to the latest offering from BPmods, the AMPBB. This product is a “BB” box specifically designed for the “BB” type products and accessories on the market. Can its lightweight design win your hearts? Let’s find out.

Product IntroductionProduct Overview

The AMPBB Boro Mod comes with an internal battery of 2000mAh rated capacity and 2075mAh typical capacity, delivering a maximum power of 60W.

Its unique design points, windows, visible electronic components, and light tubes draw inspiration from vacuum tube power amplifiers, thus the mod’s name, AMP. It is accompanied by a Flush Drip Tip logically named DAC (Digital-to-Analog).

Included are light tubes for those DIY enthusiasts among you. This product also features anti-condensate compressed cottons that are washable and reusable. However, note that rubbing the cottons or washing them with ultrasonic machines may damage the cotton fibers, reducing their lifespan.

DirtyCheck (Captain’s Personal Opinion)The intuitive and superior chip provides an excellent vaping experience, making the AMPBB stand out with its stable output power and swift response.Impressive minor design features, such as the engraved flush nut spanners, not only add aesthetic appeal but also greatly enhance the product’s practicality. The use of anti-condensate cottons is a friendly gesture for users of BBmods products, substantially reducing condensate leakage and being reusable.The high-quality lightweight design, around 90g when not using the sleeve, provides great convenience, especially in the hot summer.The diversity of DIY possibilities is vast, including interchangeable parts like light tubes, panels, etc. Future official accessories are said to be available, but users’ DIY projects also add potential to this device.Verdict

The impressive practical performance and diverse DIY possibilities of the AMPBB have made me a fan. Although the chip lacks temperature control and my preferred curve mode, it doesn’t detract from my positive review. The small design details are very thoughtful, making this product a great option for BB enthusiasts. I hope in the future there can be settings for changing LED colors to enhance the device’s playability and compatibility. The feel in hand is a bit sharp; if the chamfer could be smoother, it would greatly improve the grip.

Overall, as the first “BB” sleeve machine from BPmods, the AMPBB is quite impressive. I look forward to future decorative accessories and more practical features. Remember, VAPE HOW WE ROLL, ALL IN TRUE TOY. This is Captain Dirty, see you next time!

The public consultation consists of a nationwide survey which started last Wednesday and ends on September 30th. Health minister Lo Chung-mau said that the consultation is based on four anti-smoking strategies, among which a lifetime ban on cigarettes for locals born after a set date.

In New Zealand, a similar ban is in the works. This would come into effect in 2027 and ban the sale of tobacco products to anyone born in 2009. While last year, Malaysia’s health minister Khairy Jamaluddin announced a ban on the sales of cigarettes and safer nicotine alternative products to anyone born in 2005 and beyond.

About the new trend of generational bans

Renowned international public health experts believe that such bans would eventually just create a large black market and fuel the illicit trade of the products.

Tobacco harm reduction experts have warned that such bans, which fail to differentiate between cigarettes and safer alternatives, are detrimental to public health. In fact renowned international public health experts had written to Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob warning him that the vape bill would eventually just create a large black market and fuel the illicit trade of the products. In the letter, academics and tobacco harm reduction experts David Abrams, Clive Bates, Ray Niaura and David Sweanor, said that prohibitionist approaches may have unintended consequences.

Earlier this year, David Sweanor, told Vaping Post that such measures, which on top of everything are tough to enforce, may be just a strategy used by policy makers to look committed without actually “changing the status quo.” “As has been repeatedly pointed out, the prohibition of psychoactive substances has a very poor track record. It is particularly questionable when the substance in question (nicotine) has negligible health risks and there are clearly viable low-risk alternatives that empower consumers rather than punishing them,” he added.

Another Asian nation’s fears about teen vaping
Meanwhile, Vietnam has been the most recent Asian country raising the alarm about teen vaping. In 2020, the Ministry of Health’s Legal Department Tran Thi Trang, said that the department would be proposing a ban on the sale, production and import of electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products.

Subsequently last March, the Ministry voiced its concern about an increase in use among minors. The Vietnam News Agency added that among 13-15 year olds, 3.5% reported vaping, up from 2.6% in 2019.

Vietnam really cannot afford to ban safer nicotine alternatives

In Vietnam, almost one in two adult males are current smokers. In fact the nation is ranked third among South-East Asian countries with the highest smoking prevalence. In light of this, would argue THR exerts, local authorities should really consider the fact that worldwide increases in vaping rates are parallel to decreased smoking rates.

A recent review of randomized controlled trials and network meta-analysis of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation, found that smokers assigned to use nicotine e-cigarettes were more likely to remain abstinent from smoking, than those assigned to using licensed NRTs.

Titled, “A systematic review of randomized controlled trials and network meta-analysis of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation,” the study compared the effectiveness of nicotine e-cigarettes for smoking cessation with licensed nicotine replacement therapies (NRT) and nicotine-free based control conditions.

Sifting through data from thousands of studies, the research team identified that smokers who turned to vapes stayed off cigarettes significantly more than those in the control condition. “Smokers assigned to use nicotine e-cigarettes were more likely to remain abstinent from smoking than those assigned to use licensed NRT, and both were more effective than usual care or placebo conditions,” the concluded.

The axe has fallen for e-cigarette maker Juul.

The FDA ordered the company to stop selling and distributing its ubiquitous vaping devices in the U.S. Thursday, a dramatic end for a company that dominated the e-cigarette market and was valued at $38 billion at the top of its game.

Juul will no longer be able to sell its vapes nor its 5% or 3% tobacco and menthol-flavored pods in the U.S. without “risk[ing] enforcement action” from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Retailers will also be prohibited from stocking Juul products in the U.S.

The FDA’s ban against Juul came after the company failed to provide consistent evidence about the safety of its vapes and tobacco pods.

“As with all manufacturers, JUUL had the opportunity to provide evidence demonstrating that the marketing of their products meets these standards,” Acting Director of the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products Michele Mital said. “However, the company did not provide that evidence and instead left us with significant questions.”

In a statement to TechCrunch, Juul’s Chief Regulatory Officer Joe Murillo said that the company would pursue a stay and is exploring its other options to counter the FDA’s ban on its products. The company pushed back against the FDA’s characterization of the information it provided to the regulatory agency.

“In our applications, which we submitted over two years ago, we believe that we appropriately characterized the toxicological profile of JUUL products, including comparisons to combustible cigarettes and other vapor products, and believe this data, along with the totality of the evidence, meets the statutory standard of being ‘appropriate for the protection of the public health,’” Murillo said.

The FDA clarifies that its actions don’t directly restrict individual possession or use of Juul products, though obtaining the company’s vapes and pods is about to be much more difficult for U.S.-based users.

Regulatory woes had already cut deeply into the company’s valuation, but the FDA’s actions spell outright doom for its U.S. operations. Juul competitors Reynolds American and NJOY Holdings previously received authorization and will be allowed to continue selling their own products, though the FDA maintains that tobacco is harmful and addictive even when vaped.
