How Vaping Has Evolved Over The Years


Wazzup Pilipinas!?

The evolution of vaping doesn't come as a surprise, especially when technology is in the mix. From its humbling beginnings, vaping has managed to unite a large percentage of the globe and gets vapers to speak the same language

The rise can be attributed to the industry's ability to accommodate enthusiastic vapers' vaping needs and wants. Manufacturers are putting their creativity into the task by breaking barriers.

It's also interesting to note that the journey is far from ending since there's still much to discover. Here's how vaping has evolved over the years.


Multiple Flavors

Then came the e juices that are now available in a wide variety of flavors. Before their inception, vapers were only exposed to access to essential Nicotine with no flavors to mention.

The evolution of vaping has come as a blessing in disguise that has granted vapers due to exposure. Most of them are in the process of learning something new that's becoming efficient in their vaping journey.

The existence of multiple flavors has added more zest to the pastime that's been viewed as ordinary since the beginning. Vapers have seen modern-day vaping products in a different light.

The evolution journey has been a partnership between the consumers and manufacturers. Consumers keep the communication alive through timely and constructive feedback, which keeps the manufacturers on their toes.

Through the constant adjustment from previous inventions, vaping, in general, has become polished compared to its previous appearances. Vapers can now access the best salt nic juices at the click of a button.

What's more, those who prefer a different section of e juices are counted in. Vaping still goes on even when vapers fail to find their e juice of choice for some reason.



E-Cigarettes

They have not always been around, but their presence has made a significant difference in vaping. From traditional cigarettes to electronic ones, vaping has made quite a stride.

This is one of the primary definitions of vaping and has made it an enjoyable and convenient pastime. The evolution of vaping is visible since e-cigarettes are used around the world.

Not too long ago, traditional cigarettes were highly revered, yet so essential. Their electronic counterparts are taking the world by storm, especially since technology is involved.

One of its outstanding qualities is that you don't need a lighter or any external flame to turn it on. An electronic cigarette is composed of different parts, including batteries, which keep it functional.

Better still, its method of operation beats the traditional ones. Since batteries power them, E-cigarettes convert e liquids to vapor, which becomes more accessible for the vaper to inhale.

They come in all shapes and sizes for passionate vapers to take their pick. Variety has contributed immensely to the evolution of vaping and is still on the verge of releasing more assorted vaping products.


Advanced Personal Vaporizers

Manufacturers are on a spree to draw as many vaping clients as they can. This is seen through personal vaporizer products that enable vapers to indulge on the go.

As the name suggests, these categories of vape products are more advanced due to their sophisticated features. The likes of vape pods and mod kits are rapidly rising and curving niches for themselves.

Advanced personal vaporizers (APV) are meant for vapers with a penchant for breaking the norms and trying new ideas. APVs can be customized to suit the vaper's needs.

They possess elegant features such as temperature setting buttons, digital displays, higher wattage levels, etc. Each of these features is crucial to a splendid vape experience, and vapers must be familiar with their ideal tastes.

Their price ranges might scare some aspiring clients away, but they are worth every penny. Aside from their delectable features, APVs can accommodate the various flavors of e juices available on the market.

Their flexibility adds to their list of attractive factors and has helped shape the evolution journey of vaping.



Voice-activated Vape Products

Technology has taken a massive leap by introducing ecstatic vape fans to voice-activated. However, these products are accompanied by much tighter rules and regulations that vendors must observe.

For instance, they are only limited for sale to individuals who have reached the legal age to engage in vaping. Breaking this rule may be disastrous and even lead to the eventual banning of these timely vape products.

Voice-activated products can be termed as quintessential due to their illumination features. They stand out since manufacturers have made improvements from all the previous products.

The illumination factor has grasped the attention of keen vapers who wish to dig deeper and know everything about it. Most of them are already satisfied with what they know so far but are keeping their ears to the ground in case of any groundbreaking developments.


Disposable Products

The replacement option is open due to factors such as divided interests in the vaping arena. Not everyone will be drawn to some vaping products such as vaping oils and will want to try something else.

Disposable vape products make room for others that can accommodate different vape juices and oils options. Disposable vape products are convenient because they last a significant period before they are replaced.

Another benefit they possess is avoiding congestion by creating space for others once they outlive their usefulness. They also put users out of the misery of care and maintenance practices that might be extremely daunting for some vapers.

Disposables are flexible and can conform to any kind of lifestyle that vapers choose to adopt. What's more, new designs keep making their way into the market for vapers to explore.


Conclusion

The evolution story of vaping is fascinating, especially since it holds the potential to expand. Vapers shouldn't rest on their laurels but dig deeper for more exciting features and products.

Manufacturers have taken it upon themselves to expand the vaping industry by all means.

EU/GIZ rethinking plastics project, Philippines Department of Environment organize online dialogue on circular economy solutions


Wazzup Pilipinas!?


Webinar seeks to discuss ways to reduce plastic waste, marine litter



Globally, up to 13 million tons of plastic wastes are dumped into the oceans annually, affecting over 800 species in marine and coastal environments. To address this, solutions are needed at the interface of the circular and green economy, waste management, health and water resources, sustainable consumption, biodiversity and climate protection. Factors contributing to the increase in plastic wastes include population growth, urbanization, as well as changing consumption and production patterns (i.e., packaging and single-use items). If not properly disposed, collected, managed, and processed, plastic wastes will end up in the waterways and oceans, resulting to marine litter posing a growing global threat to marine ecosystems and fisheries.

On November 16, 2021 at 3:00-5:00 PM (GMT+8), an Online Dialogue on Circular Economy Solutions to Reduce Plastic Waste and Marine Litter will be jointly organized by the EU/GIZ Rethinking Plastics – Circular Economy Solutions to Marine Litter Project and the Philippines’ Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to provide a platform for the sharing of strategies, tools, and lessons learned on circular economy for plastics to prevent and reduce marine litter. The dialogue will bring together experiences and perspectives from Europe, East and Southeast Asia in terms of strategies, tools, mechanisms, and success stories in sustainable plastic production and consumption, and circular economy.

Expected outcomes from the online dialogue include: (1) various initiatives, experiences and best practices on plastic waste and marine litter reduction, prevention and management within and outside the region are shared and documented; (2) opportunities for replication/scaling up of experiences and best practices, including potential collaborations on plastic wastes and marine litter reduction, prevention and management are identified; and (3) approaches and enabling mechanisms for mainstreaming marine litter prevention and circular economy into national and local development plans are identified.

The half-day event will feature an open forum and presentations, with a panel discussion on “Challenges and Policy Measures for Circular Economy in the context of Marine Litter.” Additionally, breakout groups will be organized to discuss topics on “Sustainable Consumption and Production of Plastics” and “Improvement and New Approaches for Plastic Waste Management.”

The event is open to the public and interested participants may register at: https://bit.ly/reducemarinelitter. Audiences expected to benefit from the dialogue include public representatives (national government agencies and local government units); business representatives (industry associations and the private sector); and representatives from the civil society and the academe.

The Rethinking Plastics-Circular Economy Solutions to Marine Litter Project is based on cooperation between the European Union and seven countries in East and Southeast Asia. It helps countries in the region reduce plastic waste and improve its collection and recycling, thereby promoting a circular economy for plastics in order to reduce plastic waste leakage into the sea. The objective of the circular economy is to use resources more efficiently and sustainably according to the principle of reduce, reuse and recycle. The project implements advisory services and pilot projects in close cooperation with regional, national and local partners and is funded by the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and Expertise France.

This event is part of a series of collaborations set to culminate in the 2021 East Asian Seas (EAS) Congress from December 1-2. For more information on the 2021 EAS Congress, visit https://eascongress2021.pemsea.org/.
