The World Vape Show – Looking Back To London And Forward To Dubai
For the first time in over two years, vape retailers, marketers, e-liquid manufacturers and designers were able to meet at the ExCEL Centre in London’s Docklands area and discuss, debate and showcase the best vaping technology in the world today. Taking place on the 10th and 11th of December, the World Vape Show showcased not only incredible products but carved out a path for what the future could hold for vaping.
This blog will take a look at what was discussed and showcased at the London World Vape Show, from the best 50/50 e-liquids in the UK to the vaping trends that are sweeping the world. We’ll also take a look forward to the next Dubai Expo on the 16th and 18th of June 2022.
What Is The World Vape Show?
The World Vape Show is the only international conference and exposition of vape products from across the world. The World Vape Show allows businesses and retailers to showcase their products and learn more about the current and upcoming trends projected for the vape industry.
Why London?
As the capital of England and a multicultural business hub, London has always been a frontrunner for holding conferences in many industries. Alongside its vast pool of tourist attractions and entertainment venues, London is also the second largest market for the vaping industry, which has generated an estimated £2.3 billion over the years from vape companies, e-cig wholesale suppliers and retailers. With 6 international airports and plenty to do during your visit, the vape conference is just the start of your London visit!
Key Takeaways
The 10th and 11th of December 2021 saw the vape conference cover and showcase a range of different technologies from leading companies and health researchers such as Hyppe, Quad Sciences and Sikary.
Disposable Vaping
One aspect of the show that really made a mark was the focus on disposable vape products. Despite ongoing debate surrounding their generation of electrical waste, disposable vape products are still one of the leading smoking cessation tools for first time vapers trying to quit tobacco. Many disposable vape companies showcased, debated and discussed their products at London’s December show.
Junk Science And Vaping
Another important aspect of the Vape Show is not only marketing, but debating the vape industry. Key speakers such as Dr Konstantinos Farsalinos who is accredited to several leading research universities and institutions shared his views on junk science and misinformation surrounding the dangers of vaping. This has been an ongoing issue dampened only slightly in the UK by the NHS’s move to make e-cigs a prescription smoking cessation tool.
Dubai 2022
Hitting Dubai’s International Convention and Exhibition Centre between June 16th and 18th this year, the Dubai 2022 World Vape Show is next on the list for international vape marketers and retailers.
Why Dubai?
Though Dubai has only quite recently lifted its ban on vaping (2019), the country has since seen a rise in people quitting smoking and using the technology. Alongside being a world business hub, Dubai has sought to expand its tourism sector and has repeatedly utilised its relaxed quarantine rules in 2020 and 2021 to attract influencers and businesses to the city. Dubai therefore, has become a practical option for hosting conferences and product showcases, not least because of the lavish lifestyle associated with the city.
