We'll be arrested for vaping in public.

NEXT VAPE MEET: XXX PRISON

THIS WILL BE THE VAPE MEET OF THE CENTURY!
 
  1. Regulation will hit South Africa
  2. The oneshot market will grow
  3. DIY will become way more favorable with the Oneshots gaining popularity
  4. Bad news will hit the mainstream for Nic Salts
 
1. In 2019 we will get the perfect MTL tank.

2.Many more awesome Cape Town Vape meetups.
 
1. Lots of more new juice flavours, with some winners, but much less so than in 2018.
2. Regulations will still be under review and no new real defining decisions
3. For DIY'ers, new flavour houses to enter the market but much less new flavours from existing or new
4. Pod systems with different coil configurations, i.e. not just 8W (per example) anymore but 8W, 11W and 14W available for the same pod system.
5. 18650 devices will still rule the market, but mods which offer better battery life by utilising the battery capacity better will be introduced

Let's see how it goes. :)
 
1. Oneshots will be the way to do in DIY.:)
2. Regulations with regards to vaping will still be in discussion phase, with no concreteproof regarding the good or bad or an implementation date.:party:
3. Improvements on rda’s and rta’s Will improve marginally. :headbang:
4. Big batteries are going to rule the new release market.:coleman:
5. Fastech will still not realize that we have been shipping never mind what there site says by having a Zimbabwe addressed to choose and then to choose the SA one before payment. (As originally figured out by @Vino1718 ):cool:
6. I’ll find my golden Spot in vaping, and the perfect :Dsetup!

The Vaping bru will do 10 Instagram reviews
Biohazard will join under an alias
China towns will sell more juice and devices than the whole SA vaping industry combined
Vapeking will still have their same up to 60% discount and it will again be their Black friday special
Im going to make a ss mesh coil for any rda/rta and will make a million Zim dollars
Average price for a Reo will be R500
I will still be of cigarettes and have stopped vaping
I will get banned

So you just use a zim address and change it right before payment and they ship all the "prohibited" good stuff???

I see some more FT orders in my future!>:)
 
1. Disposable tanks will become more popular in the commercial tank market by a long shot.
2. Vape Devices especially low cost starter kits will become even more affordable
3. Local vape juice manufacturers will have to lower costs as International juices are doing so aggressively
4. Further decrease in popularity of mechanical devices
5. Vaporesso will create a regulated device that will destory the voopoo drag's popularity.
6. Nicotine salt devices will loose popularity
7. Big innovations in squonk devices and we will see a rise in popularity for them with enthusiasts
8. Smok products will start to loose further popularity
9. MTL RTA's will grow in popularity for high nicotine non-salt juices

That's all I can think of.

That’s the trick. Set up your address, setup same address with Zim, do your order and just before selecting payment change to SA address, continue and done. Got 2on the way.
 
Regulation is likely to be a biggie, both here and in the US. Gottlieb's rumblings might turn into online or flavour bans across the pond. I assume our DoH will get the regs finalised in 2019. I don't know what those will entail but I'll predict that everybody will announce the apocalypse when it is released. Then six months later, we'll all have adapted and life goes on unchanged. People will accept the regs or will find ways to skirt them. Pretty much like Gauteng toll roads or Eskom load shedding, come to think of it. It changes our lives but it's not the apocalypse.

I predict there will be more movement in nicotine development. By year end, we'll have the choice of traditional nic, nic salts and something else. Although what that something else will be is anybody's guess. I'm guessing it might be a middle ground that is higher potency/less throat hit than traditional nic but can also be vaped safely at higher wattages than nic salts?

There will be more movement towards closed systems and less interoperability between different brands. It's the capitalist way. Every tech company tries to lock you into their ecosystem (Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, Nintendo, etc). Until now, it's really only been JUUL and the nascent pod market in vaping. But it's a trend that will increase.

The one-shot market will continue to grow but it will be a case of the rich getting richer and the poor dropping out. So there will be some market rationalisation even if overall sales increase. This, too, is the capitalist way.

There will be more lawsuits against vaping manufacturers. But only the big ones who can afford payouts. Again - capitalism. We'll also see the first use of the term "big vaping" by the media. JUUL are already getting into that zone.

I might finally get around to dropping a recipe. No promises but you never know, it could happen. :p

Waiting for your recipe @RichJB !
:cool:
 
I still want a squonk mod which includes a simple cell phone, torch and power bank.

I know that the phone will never be made because almost everyone can't survive (literally) without a big screen smartphone.

Not exactly thread related but my prediction for 2019 is that the first smartphone graft (onto hand) will be performed. It will prove to be wildly popular.

I also predict that in 2019 someone who is being knighted by "The Queen" will interrupt the process to check his e-mail.
