The advantages of convenience and quality of use have a potential candidate: Close Pod
The advantage of cheap price, easy to access for new users, has a bright face: Disposable pod
How to improve quality of use while reducing costs.
Combining the method that made Disposable cheap and applying it to Closed production is probably the brightest answer. We will analyze it in the article below.
The birth of the new generation of Closed pod
By changing the design and using low-cost materials, disposables have a huge advantage in creating a new user explosion. Closed pods with current material usage can still be applied, the important thing is to apply in which part of a Closed pod.
Closed pod has a reusable body, with a replaceable disposable burner, it will not be possible to remove the control circuit, charging circuit, or rechargeable battery like disposable, the body of the Closed pod will need to be kept intact. As for the burner, Closed pod can completely take advantage of the Disposable method: simplify the structure, replace materials to minimize production costs.
As a result we have a new product set with features, which:
Inheriting the advantages of quality and usage of the first generation Closed pod
Uses more competitively priced burners than generation 1 Closed pods, approaching the price of disposable pods.
This small change solves two important problems for users.
Enjoy a more economical daily usage cost, lower than when using the replacement atomizer of the 1st generation Closed pod, lower than disposable when comparing long-term usage costs
Continuing to use the body shows personal choice, something disposables cannot do (the body color of disposables usually depends on the juice flavor, and can be discarded when finished).
The theory is completely applicable, however, in practice, recalculating the design, material types, and separating into production stages depends a lot on the capacity and vision of the manufacturer. Not every manufacturer or brand in the market has enough foundation and determination to do this right away. The above changes will almost completely change the current production line, from material supply to processing human resources.
Manufacturers must have also realized these problems. In the fierce competition for the strong development of the current vape industry, the manufacturer who is faster, launching competitive products with better quality, will have more potential to expand their brand. One thing is for sure, no brand wants to be left behind. Soon, the new generation of Closed pod will become the next wave, after the market has had enough time to experience and realize the weaknesses of current disposables.
The first sign of the new generation of closed pods
According to the development history of vape in general, new products always inherit the advantages of previous products, while solving the problems of current products. Disposable wins over Closed pod thanks to its low purchase price, but has problems when the daily usage cost is too high. The next product that can balance both price and usage cost has appeared.
The most potential candidate at the moment, for example, is Switch by dot, a product that has appeared in some Southeast Asian markets. Sooner or later, this product will be brought to Vietnam.
Although we have not experienced it directly, but with the extremely competitive price of the device and replacement atomizer, Switch by dot is being welcomed by users in neighboring countries. According to the introduction of the manufacturer dotMod, this leading product combines the advantages of both Closed pod and Disposable pod, promising users to experience the latest standards, at an unprecedented competitive cost.
Of course, success or failure depends entirely on whether the product provides a convincing enough experience. Is the Vietnamese pod mod market ready for this latest trend?
