Three WeChat Accounts the Vaping Industry Should Follow

The Oxford Dictionary selects a Word of the Year for the English-speaking world every year. This year, the word they chose was Vape (e-cigarette; to vape). This shows that as the influence of e-cigarettes continues to expand, they are becoming increasingly popular among smokers.

The booming vaping market has also driven the rapid development of related manufacturing and retail industries, helping many people find jobs and even start businesses. However, as vaping is still a relatively new and niche market, related information remains limited, especially in China. After gathering and comparing information from many sources, the author found that the following three WeChat public accounts are especially worth following for people working in the vaping industry.

1. Vaping News (WeChat ID: ecigbar)

Features: bilingual Chinese-English information; independent third party; latest domestic and international news; updated daily; reposts only.

This WeChat public account publishes major vaping industry news from China and abroad every day. It is the only one that publishes information in both Chinese and English. Because it insists on reposting only, it further highlights its independent third-party positioning and is better able to reflect the real direction of the vaping industry from a neutral perspective. Following this account allows you to get the latest domestic and international vaping industry information as soon as possible.

2. E-cigarette (WeChat ID: chinadianziyan)

Features: off every Sunday; mainly focused on domestic news; accepts sponsored articles from vaping businesses for publication.

This WeChat public account publishes relatively up-to-date vaping industry news from China and abroad from Monday to Saturday each week. It accepts promotional articles from vaping companies for publication. However, because this account is organizing the “First China E-cigarette Expo,” recent posts may include exhibition advertisements.

3. E-cigarette Online (WeChat ID: cecmol)

Features: off every Sunday; content mainly consists of original information created by E-cigarette Online; accepts sponsored articles from vaping businesses for publication.

This WeChat public account claims to currently have the largest number of followers and publishes relatively up-to-date domestic vaping industry news from Monday to Saturday each week. It accepts promotional articles from vaping companies for publication. However, because it is co-organizing the “First China E-cigarette Expo” together with E-cigarette (WeChat ID: chinadianziyan), recent posts may also include exhibition advertisements.
