Big Cloud E-cigarettes Have Dragged E-cigarette Manufacturers Down a Dead End

It's already quite difficult to buy a big cloud e-cigarette now, right? Why did the once booming big cloud e-cigarettes suddenly disappear? If you ask what e-cigarettes are making money now, everyone would definitely say disposable e-cigarettes. Manufacturers of big cloud e-cigarettes sigh when talking about mechanical big clouds, saying they haven't made any money.

Ordering thousands of sets is a miracle

Mechanical big clouds generally cost over 80 yuan. When new products come out, the factory price has to be sold for 100-200 yuan per set, and they sell for hundreds or even thousands at the terminal. Compared to the EGO series, they are several times more expensive. With such a high price, foreign traders and distributors are reluctant to stock up. When they see new products, they don't even dare to buy samples. They directly ask manufacturers for pictures, and only place orders after someone shows interest. Many manufacturers report: "Generally, customers order just a few sets at a time; it's common to order one or two sets. It's rare for customers to place orders for dozens of sets at once; getting an order for over a thousand sets is remarkable, and getting over ten thousand sets is a miracle! How can you make money like this? On one hand, it wastes time; on the other hand, due to small order quantities, they don't dare to stock up on hardware materials, only ordering them after customers place orders. Although the profit margin for the previous EGO series was low, the order volume was large, and when you do the math, there was still money to be made. It's common for customers to place orders for tens of thousands of sets." E-cigarette manufacturers have lost their technical advantage

Mechanical big cloud assembly is very simple, just a few metal and plastic parts, and they are all large parts, with a few processes to press them together, add a battery, and they can be used. There's no need for a design plan. Just pack them with a charger and they can be shipped out. Unlike the EGO series, which requires dozens of processes to assemble. Because mechanical big cloud assembly is so simple, many people can learn to assemble it after watching it once, and besides the battery and packaging, the hardware factories have all the components ready, so when they get an order, they have all the parts available without needing to source them everywhere. With such simplicity, the process is weakened, and there are no challenges. Once traders have an order, they can arrange for their employees to assemble it. If they don't know how to assemble it, they can ask the hardware factory, watch it once, and they'll know how to do it; it's easy to learn. Hardware factories have taken on the role of manufacturers, and manufacturers have lost their function. Many hardware factories have realized that they don't need any technical advantages; they can produce, assemble, take pictures, and upload them to the website to sell finished products. Foreign customers or traders with slightly larger orders directly place orders with hardware factories, effectively taking the manufacturers' business away, and it's no wonder that manufacturers are struggling to survive!

Disposable e-cigarettes have become the market's main force, and consumers are also happy to accept these disposable e-cigarettes. This is a disaster for big cloud e-cigarettes.
