Vapeboss – Since the arrival of disposable vapes in Indonesia, many consumers have welcomed them. However, the presence of disposable vapes also poses a threat to domestic industry players, even though they are popular among vapers due to their ease of use. To date, there has been much criticism and opposition from local vape businesses against disposable vapes, reflecting their concerns about their businesses.

Such issues are understandable, as the concerns experienced by these SMEs are a real problem. This is because disposable vapes indeed offer such convenience that makes consumers prefer them. Aside from these problems, disposable vapes can also be an opportunity for local vape industry entrepreneurs, where the components and materials used in disposable vapes can utilize domestic products such as e-liquids from brewers and batteries from local battery producers.

It may not be easy to realize this, but the opportunity can be seized if stakeholders and industry players can collaborate with foreign disposable vape manufacturers. Important aspects like negotiation and lobbying can be carried out so that locally made products such as e-liquid brewers and batteries can be used as components in disposable vape products.

The Indonesian government also has an important role in this, such as implementing appropriate regulations to support the development of the domestic vape industry. With the right regulations, especially concerning disposable vapes, the local vape industry ecosystem will improve. As vapers, we also need to support and champion the vape industry by actively speaking up, being creative, and continuously contributing positively to this industry.

If everyone can synergize well, all hopes will be easier to realize. Moreover, collaboration between local manufacturers and foreign disposable vape companies can run smoothly and create Indonesian-made disposable vape creations. Therefore, let's support the local vape industry and actively channel ideas and interesting innovations for SME entrepreneurs in the vape sector.
