Exhibitor interview — Optimistic about the South African vaping market!

The three-day vaping exhibition in South Africa has successfully concluded. Yingrun International brought the freshest on-site interviews, covering policies, market trends, and how to better explore the vaping market in South Africa. Let's take a look at the highlights from the interviews with Innokin, Eigate, and VAPORESSO! (The order is based on the sequence of interviews, not ranking)

Here is Yingrun International's interview with INNOKIN

INNOKIN: This is our second time participating in the South African exhibition. South Africa has a large population, and many disposable products sell very well. By opening up the market and marketing, we still have hope to expand this market.

Yingrun International: What do you think about the future trend of vaping? Do you lean more towards open systems or disposables?

INNOKIN: The growth of disposables in various markets is rapid; this will be the development trend in the coming years. Disposables are developing faster.

Yingrun International: Can you introduce the products you brought?

INNOKIN: Our new product; this Kris is a well-selling open system brand in Europe, won an award in Dubai last year, designed with a magnetic cap that is hard to lose and dustproof, available in 12 fashionable colors.

Yingrun International: During the exhibition these two days, which product do you think will be popular in South Africa?

INNOKIN: The main push is an open system, which is this Kris.

For disposables, we have many innovations, such as interchangeable pods in the middle, and some core technologies for flavor adjustment and pressure adjustment. The overall smoothness of the flavor may stand out more than our appearance.

Here is Yingrun International's interview with EIGATE

Yingrun International: South Africa requires LOA certification for shipments; is this certification mandatory in South Africa?

Eigate - Mr. He: The government has such a requirement, but in practice, it is not strictly enforced. Including the taxation of e-liquids, some channels may have normal taxation, but most still say that in the middle stage, there is no taxation.

Yingrun International: The policy has been proposed but not implemented yet, right?

Eigate - Mr. He: Yes, it has not been truly implemented.

Yingrun International: What are your thoughts on this policy, including South Africa and even global policies?

Eigate - Mr. He: I feel that every market will become more regulated, and each country has its own laws and regulations and policies, which is a better way to monitor the development of e-cigarettes. This is a trend for the better development of the industry.

Eigate - Mr. He: I feel that South Africa is currently considered a fresh market, and major manufacturers and brands are also focusing on this market; the future opportunities are also significant.

Here is Yingrun International's interview with VAPORESSO

Yingrun International: Can you introduce your products?

VAPORESSO: This is our new device, an open system that can be refilled; heavy users can use it for three days; light users can use it for about 5-7 days. The oil capacity is 2ml.

VAPORESSO: This is our latest product. It is not yet available in the South African market. It was launched in early August. It targets professional users, has a display screen, can adjust power, and can be refilled. It is compatible with the Lux series pods, and it can also adjust airflow to change the size of the vapor.

For a user with a 40-watt power, because small lung users are gradually becoming a significant trend. This design mainly aims to increase the awareness of the South African market; it also considers international livelihood.

VAPORESSO: Let me introduce this product, Echo Nano. It looks like a disposable product, but it is not; it has a very large capacity of 8ml. It emphasizes Echo environmental protection; first, its material is rubber and metal, achieving a minimalist packaging design, using cardboard packaging, without data and metal, saving a lot of materials to contribute to environmental protection, so it is called ECO Nano, ECO ECOMAN friendly!

Yingrun International: This product should be popular globally, right?

VAPORESSO: Yes, because of its price, we offer a very good deal, controlling costs excellently, ultimately providing consumers with certain discounts, rich flavors, 3S leak-proof technology, and flavor retention technology. This product is very popular, especially in the South Asian and European markets.

This concludes the report from Yingrun International!
