If you’re a regular vape user, you’ll know that there’s nothing like that smooth hit of vapour hitting your throat.

Vaping is on an upwards trajectory, with many choosing the practice over smoking cigarettes. It’s no wonder the industry has exploded in recent years. In fact, the vaping market is set to expand by 30% in 2023 alone.

As the vaping scene moves on quickly, we can expect to see new developments in the market - so you’ll want to keep on top of the trends to make the most of these new technologies. From bigger tanks and better batteries to sustainable practices in disposable vapes, 2023 is set to be an exciting year for the vaping world.

Below, we’ve listed the top trends we’re going to see in the vaping world in 2023. Read on to find out more.

Mesh coils

There are two types of coils in vaping: wire and mesh. Traditional coils use wire, wrapped into a spiral shape, and cotton to produce vapour. The process isn’t perfect because of the way these coils burn, so there’s a higher chance of a dry hit or a harsher flavour.

Going into 2023, it’s safe to say that mesh coils are going to dominate the market. These coils distribute heat much more evenly, giving the user a smoother and more balanced flavour each time they inhale. Mesh coils may produce less vapour, but we can already see the technology moving on quickly to imitate traditional wire coils.

If you’re looking for a new vape, investing in one with a mesh coil will improve your vaping experience and reduce burnout at the same time.

High-end vapes

The vaping market is rapidly expanding, and as more people make the switch to vapes over cigarettes, more premium models will begin to emerge on the scene. These machines are often made of premium materials compared to the average vape, with the newest technology and often more powerful batteries.

These models tend to have more customisation options, including premium colours and finishes, and are giving vaping a more upmarket feel all around. We wouldn’t be surprised to see premium brands partnering with vape manufacturers in the future.

If you’re an experienced vaper looking for an upgrade, it’s worth investing in some quality hardware - especially as we see new brands and designs coming onto the market in 2023. Competitiveness in the industry and new developments will push prices down, so keep an eye out for the best deals.

Unusual vape flavours

Whether you’re a traditionalist with your vape flavours or like to experiment, we’re set to see this side of the vaping world expand even more in 2023. Expect to see more sweets, fruits and even drinks flavours being released in the next few months so you can bring some variety into your vaping.

Not only will we see more flavours, but the traditional ones will become even more refined as the technology improves - making vaping even more enjoyable than it already is. Expect to find even more nicotine salts flavours emerging as well, as that new kind of e-liquid continues to be popular.

Ultimately, what flavour vape e-liquid you want is down to personal preference - but it doesn’t hurt to branch out every once in a while.

Bigger tanks

With the move towards mesh coils becoming increasingly accepted as standard in newer vapes, comes the possibility of introducing bigger tanks to vaping hardware. Mesh coils can take more heat and power than traditional coils, so expect to see bigger and better tanks popping up.

Bigger tanks may be more expensive but they’re longer lasting, so the cost per use goes down. You’ll be filling up less and have less maintenance to worry about with your vape, so it’s a win-win situation.

Disposable vapes

Disposable vape brands exploded onto the scene last year, with the technology developing so that nicotine salts could be used inside them instead of traditional vape e-liquids. This opened up a whole new world to casual users who may be more of a social vape user, but don’t want the commitment of buying a vape.

In 2023 we’re not going to see disposable vapes going anywhere, anytime soon. If anything, the market will continue to expand with more brands entering the space.

Next year, we’ll also see more of a push towards sustainability in this part of the industry. Paper disposable vapes are already coming into circulation, and we expect to see more options for fully recyclable disposable vapes in the coming months.

More customisation

In recent years we’ve seen the vaping industry look to satisfy the hardcore vapers with options to customise their hardware. These days it’s pretty standard to be able to adjust your ohms, attach different mods to your vape and make small tweaks that really make each hit exactly how you want it.

Expect to see more customisation available as standard in vapes, with more mods entering onto the scene at the same time. If you ever wanted to try something new with your vaping and fine-tune your hits, 2023 is the year to do it.

Better batteries

The better your vape, the more power it uses - so early vapes suffered from running out of battery all the time. There have been quite a few advancements over the years that have improved safety, offer longer battery life and stronger performance.

We can expect more powerful and advanced vapes to continue to come onto the market in 2023, with lithium-ion batteries emerging onto the scene already. New developments will also mean these batteries will be shrinking down in size, allowing for smaller and more discreet vapes.

Wrapping up

The world of vaping is moving quickly and sometimes it’s hard to keep up with everything that’s changing in the industry. Our guide to the top trends in 2023 gives you a starting point for staying ahead of the curve and trying new things.
