How Many People Vape Around The World?

How-many-vapers-in-the-world

Ever since the introduction of e-cigarettes, vaping usage has exploded around the world. For those who vape, the practice can seem lonely at times. Those who don’t actually know just how many people vape may easily assume that no one shares their passion. For a smoker, socialization is easy – there’s always another smoker around to share a cigarette with. Vape users don’t have this advantage though, and it’s not uncommon for them to not have a single friend or associate that vapes. Fortunately, vaping is now more popular than ever, and those that vape automatically belong to a super special and global club that includes millions of other members.

Just how many members belong to this club? How many people vape around the world today? How many own vape kits? This is exactly what we wanted to find out. Since the vaping market is relatively new, user research is still relatively thin and underdeveloped. After researching a ton of awesome sources and the most recent vape statistics (and using a bit of simple math), we attempted to estimate this number. In the following article, we will share our findings and present our rationale for unofficially estimating “How Many People Vape Around the World?”

Presenting an estimate for the worldwide usage of e-cigarettes is more difficult than you could ever imagine. The vaping market changes daily. Laws in some countries change suddenly, impacting the vaping population; while some emerging countries have witnessed extreme growth just within the last few years. In several countries vapes and e-liquids are common and good alternatives for smoking. In Australia and New Zealand vapes are popular among young generations, Non nicotine vapes are available in local vapor store in Australia whereas nicotine containing vapes are available in online vape stores in New Zealand.

China, which produces a great percentage of the vape devices that are distributed around the world, ironically, has a very small vaping community. Although the current number of users is low, market potential is extremely high due to the country’s lack of market regulation and the low barriers to entry. In a country with over 1.37 billion people, a 1% penetration of e-cigarette usage could equate to over 13 million vape users.

A major Korean manufacturer told vaping.com that there are approximately one million vapers in South Korea. The Korean market has complex issues, so it’s unclear how many vapers are using nicotine-containing liquid, but there’s no reason for us to doubt his overall assessment.

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 12.2% of Australia’s population are daily smokers. Nearly one third (31%) of smokers had tried e-cigarettes in their lifetime, but only 4.4% of them use them on a regular basis. With a population of 24.13 million, this would equate to approximately 2.94 million smokers and around 129,000 regular vape users.

The usage of e-cigarettes in Africa is relatively unknown. For most of Africa, it can be assumed that there is no major vaping presence. However, in the country of South Africa, vaping has gained some momentum with an estimated 200,000 vape users.

How To Clean And Maintain Your Electric Guitar Fretboard

Finished and Unfinished Fretboards The guitar community is torn in a debate about whether the material of a fretboard makes any difference. Some believe that a rosewood fretboard is markedly different from ebony, while others say there’s hardly any difference. But when it comes to cleaning, you will need to be cautious. Primarily, the focus is on fretboard cleaning, but other guitar parts are involved, like the neck and tuning pegs. And if your electric guitar has a fretboard that uses unfinished wood, things are tricky, demanding extreme caution. So, it’s recommended to oil unfinished fretboards for obvious reasons. When you leave wood for a long time, it turns hard, thereby making it difficult for the truss rod-neck adjustment. Unoiled fretboards can also crack in places that look bad and hamper your guitar play. How To Start Cleaning Your FretBoard For maple fretboards, you don’t have to spend time oiling. Typically, they are pre-hydrat...

5 Gibson Guitars You Should Go For

Gibson SG is a model that was introduced in the year 1961. The splendid feature of this guitar is that it is lightweight. You can easily find the vintage Gibson guitar parts very easily for this one. It is made of mahogany wood which is quite durable and strong. It has a small and extra-thin neck that can be played by anyone. This increases the playability of the guitar in a big way. It is also cheaper than the previous Gibson models. The versatile design makes it repairable and parts for Gibson guitars are easily available. It also produces sounds that are fully balanced.

How to Repair Binding around the Body of an Acoustic Guitar

What is Acoustic Guitar Body Binding? Almost all acoustic guitars have some type of binding around the edges where the top and back meet the sides. Many acoustic guitars also have binding around the fretboard and peghead. Acoustic guitar binding can be made out of many different kinds of material including: various woods, plastic, or celluloid. A “true” binding around the body of the guitar is inlayed or glued in a channel cut from the body. A router is used to cut a small channel or shelf on the edges of the guitar for the binding to sit on. The binding is then bent and shaped to fit the body and glued in place. Most of the time decretory purfling strips are usually inlayed next to the binding. Purfling strips are thin laminate pieces of wood dyed different colors. You might ask, what is the purpose of binding on an acoustic guitar and why don’t all guitars have binding. Acoustic guitars have the edges bound to create stronger joints between the top, sides, and back of the...
