THE TIME AND TREND OF DISPOSABLE VAPES

Disposable vapes are gaining more and more popularity across the world and Nepal is no exception to it. The times of big customizable box mods seems to be a fading past as customers now opt for convenience over personalization and amount of vapour produced (vape clouds) per inhale. The direct-to-lung vape pens such as the SMOK Prince or box mods such as SMOK Alien are seen less and less in vapers’ hands. They have been replaced by use and throw (mouth-to-lung) vape devices with prefilled e liquid and pre-installed battery. Simply buy, inhale, and throw when the specified number of puffs are over. Earlier smaller capacity disposables were more popular such as the ones with just 500 or 1000 puffs, but now people want more bang-for-buck. Hence, 4000+ and 5000+ puffs are increasing in demand now. These disposables can be rechargeable (like the Elf Bar BC 5000 and TE6000) or non-rechargeable (like the IGET Legend and Pro).

24 HOURS OR SAME DAY DELIVERY FOR VAPES

Most adult vapers who vape are the ones who used to be ex-smokers, or if they are still current smokers, they do dual usage to reduce their consumption of conventional cigarettes. The addictive element of smoking is nicotine which creates a physiological dependence, while the tar produced as a result of combustion in conventional cigarettes is what causes most harm. E cigarettes were designed to deliver to its users nicotine in order to satisfy their physical urge, while not delivering tar as a result of combustion (since the e liquid in a vape kit is vaporized into flavoured steam and not smoke). As the famous quote goes – “People smoke for the nicotine but die from tar”. Adult users have a sense of urgency if they are running out of their nicotine supply – whether it is conventional cigarettes, or e cigs, or nicotine gums. Therefore it becomes important to offer super-fast delivery. We at Vape Stop are proud to be the fastest delivering vape company in the country. In Kathmandu we even offer same say delivery if one orders a vape before 3pm on a working day, excluding public holidays.

JUUL PODS AND JUUL DEVICE BUY ONLINE

JUUL as we all know is a vape giant. It has had humble beginnings, as it was started by its two founders James Monsees and Adam Bowen in 2007 while they were studying together at Stanford University, on a limited budget. Little did they know that they would be creating a brand which will become so popular, that it will prove to be a threat to the big tobacco companies. Its growth was too fast for its own good. The brand was aggressively expanding internationally and openly claiming to provide an alternative to world’s 1 billion smokers. It attracted opposition from all sides and the brand quickly found itself in many controversies surrounding teen vaping and unethical advertising. Ultimately, big tobacco (Altria, which is Phillip Morris in USA) bought a stake in JUUL, its fruity flavours were discontinued, and its valuation slashed to more than halved. Still, in spite of all the bad name and controversies, ban on fruity flavours, emerge of a competitor category (disposables), JUUL’s customers still remain loyal to the brand. That is quite commendable! As of March 2023, Altria has exited its stake in JUUL and instead bought a rival brand ‘NJOY’. One can buy original JUUL Device and JUUL Pods (Virginia Tobacco and Menthol, 5% or 50mg nicotine) imported from USA on Vape Stop Nepal at the best price possible. JUUL has also launched JUUL 2, however that is not as big a success as JUUL 1.

100% ORIGINAL PRODUCTS WITH CASH ON DELIVERY

The leading number 1 threat to the vaping industry today is the presence of counterfeiting or fakes in the market. This is no different a challenge as faced by the big tobacco industry where illegally smuggled or fake cigarettes are omnipresent. Unfortunately, the e cig industry also has this key obstacle. Counterfeiting is a dangerous activity and exposes its users to low quality ingredients, unpredictable nicotine content, danger of battery explosions, substandard products, and ultimately health risk. Almost every single brand that is popular gets a China made counterfeit that is a first or second copy products. This is why it is extremely important to pay the right price for the product and buy one’s vape supplies from a reputable and known supplier like Vape Stop, which is present in multiple countries and has a robust system of checking for counterfeits. One key practice we follow is that we buy directly buy from brands without the need of a middleman. It is often the case that if there is a middle entity involved then there are chances of getting fakes. Vape Stop directly imports from brands and for the right price hence all products sold on our platform are 100% original. Vape Stop also offers its customers cash on delivery option – meaning customers need not pre pay for their orders but can pay at the time of final delivery of goods. This gives customers a peace of mind which is essential in the vaping industry. We understand the needs of our buyers and have a customer centric approach.

TOP VAPE BRANDS TO BUY ONLINE ON VAPE STOP NEPAL

We have a comprehensive mechanism of evaluating what are the top brands in a country. And this can vary by region as customer preferences vary. What is popular in Dubai might not be that popular in Dhaka, and which is popular Dhaka might not be that popular in Kathmandu. Generally speaking, what gets super popular in USA and UK tends to become popular in Asian and Middle Eastern countries eventually, but it is not always the case. For example, JUUL because popular in its domestic country USA first, and then the trend caught on to the rest of the world in a span of 1-3 years. However, IQOS which is popular in USA also become popular in the Middle East, but is not so popular in Bangladesh and Nepal. Availability of the brand also plays a partial role in the brand becoming popular or not. A brand like IGET is someone popular in South Asia and Australia, but has negligible presence in Middle East, Europe or USA. IGET was lucky to gain popularity in India because at that time when the brand entered the country, other brands had exited the country due to government regulations. While the brand Elf Bar is popular in multiple countries even though it had no magical perfect timing in any of the markets, but perhaps due to the merit of the product and its flavours. We have stocked the most popular brands for you in Nepal so that you know that what you are buying is a preferred and time-tested choice of millions of adult vapers like yourself.

ARE E CIGARETTES SAFE TO CONSUME?

The simple and straightforward answer is “No – e cigarettes or vaping in not safe for anyone”. That being said, it is only fair to point out that vaping is significantly safer than conventional smoking. It is not Vape Stop which is making this strong claim, but Public Health England, which is the health authority of one of the most leading nations in the world – United Kingdom. As per PHE, vaping is up to 95% less harmful than combustible cigarettes. If this is not a significant harm reduction tool, then we are not sure what is?! Let us give you an example of harm reduction. Sometimes harm elimination is not feasible, so we try to reduce the harm potential. We all know that driving a car on road is not safe. But yet we do drive on roads, although ideally wearing a seatbelt which is a harm reduction tool in case of an accident. Another moral concern is that of choice. If cigarettes are a legal product, then shouldn’t those adult smokers who cannot or will not quit smoking on their own have access to an alternative option – which is potentially far less harmful? Denying a smoker a right to choose is denying him/her a fundamental right. Either the government bans all kind of nicotine products, but to say that one is allowed and the other is not seems unfair (even biased towards the tobacco industry), especially if the other option is significantly less harmful in comparison as per leading health studies.

ARE VAPES LEGAL IN NEPAL?

Yes, vapes or e cigarettes are completely legal in Nepal, and is a taxed product. E cigarettes are imported after applying the correct HSN code and product description, and after paying the due import duties. Most e cigarettes are manufactured in Shenzhen, a city in South-eastern China which produces almost 95% of all global e cigarettes. The rest are imported from USA, UK, Malaysia etc. There are certain progressive countries that not just allow but even promote e cigarettes to its adult smokers. UK and New Zealand are perfect examples of countries that promote vaping among smokers with an aim to become smoke free in the future. In fact, there are certain hospitals that have vape shops inside them. At the same time there are regressive countries like Sri Lanka and India that have banned vaping altogether probably owing to pressure from the local cigarette companies/Bloomberg/misinformation or knee-jerk reaction from policy makers. Just like how UAE had taken the progressive step of unbanning e cigarettes in 2019, we hope that developing countries like India and Sri Lanka also un-ban the category so that they can tax the products, maintain quality of products being consumed, and prevent underage teens from getting access to e cigarettes.

E CIGARETTE NEWS AND PRODUCT REVIEWS

Vaping is a dynamic category that is continuously evolving. This fast change is happening in terms of 1) Changing government regulation, 2) Release of new scientific studies with health claims of e cigarettes, and 3) Emergence of new brands and skus as it is a technology product. There is no doubt that vaping is the future. Why would users choose a more harmful product that tastes and smells bad over a product that does not produce tar/smell/smoke and that tastes better. Being a technology product, the products are rapidly improving with new features/USPs. The upgradation implies that a sku/brand that is popular now may not be popular in say 6-12 months down the line as it would become obsolete. First we had the cig-a-likes (cigarette looking e cigarettes), then came the heavy duty box mods which allowed for more vapour production and scope for personalization, then came the slightly more compact vape pens, followed by the one and only ‘JUUL’, and now we have disposables which are super easy to use and dispose. After JUUL we also had heat-not-burn lead by Phillip Morris’s IQOS. On Vape Stop blog we regularly post about new product developments and changes in regulations, and bring the latest news and updates to you.
