The " high end ", Which means" high-end ", is a standard that can be found displayed in the vape, as much for e-liquids as for equipment. We often hear about " High-end "In subjects dealing with counterfeiting, but today we will try to decipher this" high-end "market. Who is he talking to ? And above all, in view of the evolution of the e-cigarette, does it still have a real future?
HIGH-END MATERIAL: FROM SHADOW TO LIGHT!
We know, the material " high-end Has been controversial, and has been for some time. Initially, only used by an elite, “high-end” mods, atomizers and drip-tips became more democratic in the world of vaping. The appearance of "clones", whether we like them or not, will have, at least, for interest, to highlight the work of many modders around the world. Curiosity and enthusiasm then appeared for these handcrafted pieces, which made it possible to discover tenfold results and flavors, compared to “classic” material. the “high-end” in vaping was an investment that more and more people were determined to make. And clearly for more than a year, the evolution of the material " high-end“, Brought diversification, more choice and prices adapted to all budgets. Initially, sold by a very limited number of shops, and subject to waiting lists, the equipment " high-end " is now available in many outlets.
RECONSTRUCTIBLE: LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT VAPE!
We have to be clear, even if aesthetics are important, the advent of the “high-end” is due to only one thing: The search for a very high quality rendering. And this, we have found thanks to the reconstructable, whether with RDA or RBA atomizers, the use of "High-end" material has clearly made the vape evolve towards an incomparable flavor, and a large volume of vapor. No clearomizer or battery on the market has been able to cope with the quality of vape provided by an atomizer coupled with quality cotton and a mechanical mod with great conductivity. Until now, we have witnessed mind-boggling innovations in terms of vape quality, ever more impressive conductivity, ever improved atomizers for ease of assembly and an ever more impressive rendering ... Let's admit that since the release of the first reconstructable mods and atomizers, vaping has taken on a new dimension!
HIGH-END: A PASSION BUT ALSO A WAY TO MAKE MONEY EASILY!
Yes, I can already hear some people cry scandal with this title, but appearances are sometimes deceptive. Many modders are real artists, and their passion for vaping has allowed us to have access to real little gems, exceptional rendering, whether at the level of mods, atomizers or even drips tips. But, and there is a but, as demand evolves we also see stupidity evolve, and now it's getting complicated to know what we're dealing with. Many pseudo "modeurs" have come to settle in the world of vaping in order to make money easily by offering mods of questionable quality and mass-produced by making us believe in " handmade »And at a high price. Make no mistake, we are not looking for controversy but quite simply to explain that from a few hundred modders, we have gone up to several thousand, and that, if some are passionate, others are only attracted to them. profits they can make. And clearly this is a problem, because although we are prepared to pay a certain price for the acquisition of high quality, handcrafted material, we are not here to line the pockets of certain opportunistic people. In the end, apart from recognized modders, it is still very difficult to know if we are paying the right price, and the proliferation of new mods and “High-end” atomizers has finally clouded our vision on this very particular market.
THE TIMES ARE CHANGING ! AND THE EVOLUTION IS NOW!
If, a few months ago, we could only swear by the reconstructable and the "High-end", today the situation has changed, no offense to some. If for a quality sub-ohm vape it was necessary not long ago to be over-equipped, this is no longer the case now, because some Chinese mastodons such as Kangertech or Aspire have been able to upgrade. It may be surprising, but the capabilities of the latest models " Subtank " and " Atlantis "Have, in part, put in the shade the rebuildable atomizers" High-end ". On social networks we see them everywhere, they are a real hit, both in France and in the United States, and for good reason, these atomizers have a rendering as good as the latest "High-end" models and are more accessible and also less expensive. Moreover, some modders admit without concession using them as a replacement for their "High-end" atomizers for more simplicity and an equivalent vape. But that's not all, for several months now, the Asian Dna box market has been booming (IPV, Cloupor, Eleaf ...) and we have also seen the appearance of the famous sub-ohm batteries which turn out to be simple and accessible. So, as an expert, you may prefer to vape on a "High-end" mechanical mod, but the one who started recently and who wants to turn to a "sub-ohm" vape will currently turn to a box or a "sub-ohm" battery because the price and the ease of use make them the new references.
THE HIGH-END E-LIQUIDS: ANOTHER COMBAT THAT IS PROFILE
For e-liquids high-end "Of the style" Five pawns, Thenancara, Vaponaute, Suicide bunny… "it is not quite the same thing which looms. They were also booming in 2014 and continue to be the stars of the market, as vapers are ready to pay the price for a tasty vape. But the e-liquid market is also a struggle, and the pie is more and more difficult to share, so it seems obvious that with the number of new brands appearing, not all of them survive, that's what this is called natural selection. According to the future applications of Afnor and Tpd standards, it is probable that certain “High-end” brands will disappear, but it is clear that if this remained as it is, we would continue to see flavors more and more successful because e-liquid is the fuel of the vapoteur, and it is in this area that he will not hesitate to pay costs!
THE "HIGH END" WILL KEEP ITS PLACE IN THE VAPE ELITE!
What you have to understand is that, even if you don't have the means to afford a "high-end" car, a "high-end" house, you will still have the possibility of offering yourself, at at least once, a "High-end" set-up (it will still cost you much less than the killer, let's be honest!). But if "High-end" material has become, over time, almost all public, it will not remain so. With the innovations of large Chinese companies, whoever wants to have a quality vape is no longer obliged to go through "luxury" equipment (we will not talk about counterfeits ..). But, let's be honest, this innovation may be good for the vape. Whoever wants a good vape without paying too much can now do it without being condemned to use small clearomizers from previous generations, and whoever wants to have fun with small aesthetic gems that are configurable at will, can continue to vape “High-end”. Over time, the Chinese mastodons will titillate, more and more, the industry of the "High-end" and the overpopulation of current modeurs will very probably be restricted to those which make crafts, beautiful parts, and who already have. an audience waiting for their products. The “High-end” consumer community will be reduced to those who want and have the means to have fun as in all other sectors. In the end, the arrival of these new atomizers and batteries, all public, puts vapers a little on an equal footing, whoever arrives in a vaporizer, or an exhibition, with a subtank and a small box does not have shame to rub shoulders with those equipped with a high-end set-up. And finally, everyone finds his account, his pleasure, and is equal in the quality of vape produced.
