Full Story

Here is the rest of the story, along with a look at what this development is likely to mean going forward.

Howdy everyone! Despite the New Year being just a week old, we thought we would take out our looking glass and peer into the future to give you all a sneak peak of all the vaping trends coming your way in 2025!

Follow along with your friends at Got Vape as we sift through the sands of time and let you know all about what you can expect with your vaping in the coming year. Below we are going to go into the trends, features, and innovations that you are likely to see hit the shelves in 2025!

Smart Screens

First up on the docket we have smart screens! It appears that in 2025 we are poised for standard OLED screens to finally graduate and become the smart screens they were always destined to be!

What’s this mean for you? Well you can expect to start seeing vaporizers with large screens that appear almost like a smart tablet. Not only that, but the screens will have much larger numbers and session information to make checking in on your settings feel that much more accessible.

Additionally, smart screens are going to be making their way into more and more products to the point they are going to become a new standard within the industry. Thanks to all of the advancements in screen tech, we can confidently say 2025 is the year your vaporizing screens jump to the future.

App Connectivity

2025 is the year that vaporizers grow some teeth! Well blue-teeth that is… because this is the year that you are going to see app connectivity really hit its stride. While our pun may leave something to be derived, we can assure you that app based control is one feature that lives up to all of the hype.

With blue-tooth app connectivity you are able to link your phone up to your vaporizer and literally reprogram it to fit the settings that you desire. This can include custom heat profiles so if you and your bestie happen to have different opinions on the hot vs cold dabs, then you can easily swap between two custom profiles all with a few taps on your phone.

App connectivity also gives you more ways to get diagnostics on how your vaporizer is performing and can give you precise facts about your use to assist with any dosing needs. All together this makes app connectivity a truly revolutionary development that you can expect to be seeing a lot more of this coming year.

Increased Privacy

One facet of vaping that you should absolutely be on the look out for is the increased focus on vaporizing options that are discreet and subtle in nature. This is going to mean things like fully concealed cartridges, more subtle body designs, and an emphasis giving you the utmost discretion in your vaping.

This is going to manifest itself in vaporizers that downplay their true identity by looking more like common disposable tobacco vapes in order to give you the freedom to vape without any prying eyes getting in the way.

This is the year that vaping truly gets professional, so if you’ve been wanting an option that blends in better while out in the public you are going to want to keep an eye open!

Year Of The Wax Pen

While cartridges have been king this year, thanks to advancements in heating tech you are going to see an absolute explosion in the number of different wax pen options. While most companies are focused on E-Rigs now, we are seeing many things coming down the pipe line that condense this experience without compromising on dabbing capability.

As opposed to cartridges, wax gives you a much more customizable experience where you are in full control of how much material you load for each dab. This is going to give you some truly unparalleled experiences and give you new ways to enjoy your wax while on the go.

No longer will potency be a trade off for portability, with more and more wax pens hitting the scene you are going to be able to get sky high dabs no matter where you are, all in the form of an easily transportable pen body.

More Temperature Control

Another fascinating development to be aware of is that vaporizers are increasingly giving you more and more options when it comes to temperature settings. Not only that, but the highly customizable features that used to be exclusively on the expensive side of things have trickled their way down to the standard vaporizers!

This means you are going to see more incrementally adjustable voltages that let you have full control over your range of temperatures in more and more devices. As this tech shrinks down, expect to see all sorts of pens and batteries take advantage of this tech to give you heightened control over your sessions.

Air Flow Innovations

Rounding out our 2025 trend preview we have brand new air flow innovations! This means you are going to see more products that switch up how your vapor is delivered to you. Be on the watch for new group settings that make sharing vapor with a circle of friends more fun and easier than ever before.

With vaporizing becoming so popular, companies have really started to experiment with some truly mind blowing devices that completely change the classic “draw to inhale from the mouthpiece” style of vaping.

We expect there to be many cool new ways to vaporize your favorite materials with a greater emphasis on making each vaporizer's experience completely unique to that model.
