Glass pipes is a big trend and a red sea of blood!

In 2015, Bolton group bought all the shares of Kim ree, Inc., a glass pipes group, at a high price of 750 million yuan, formally stepping into glass pipes business. Kimree's Chinese name was giri, which was definitely explosive news for the glass pipes industry at that time! Because Geely's customers include large companies such as Altria, the parent company of Marlboro, which is the world's second largest glass pipes manufacturer. Not only that, it ranks second in the number of global glass pipes patent applications. In 2015, it is also one of the top ten international patent application companies, and it is also the first company in the glass pipes industry to list in the United States.

　　Bolton launched his own water pipes for sale brand, Firearms, a year after he bought Gilles. Firearms are a brand with a golden key from birth. Why? Because for the vast majority of glass pipes brands, even now, they are contract manufacturing, not only contract manufacturing, but almost all technologies are factory-owned. Such benefits are naturally cost savings and lower entry barriers. But the downside is that there is no independent core technology. This has caused a series of problems in the current small cigarette market.
　　And firearms were born with Gilly's independent technical support. Not only that, Bolton Group, which acquired Gilly, is also a supplier of flavors and fragrances to China Tobacco, which means firearms have more advantages than their peers in blending technology of glass pipes tobacco oil. At the same time, it means that firearms are more sympathetic to the common faults in the current industry. The following are some opinions of Atletico Madrid, general manager of firearms, on the pain points in the glass pipes industry. The biggest problem is oil leakage. There are two kinds of oil leakage. Condensate produced by atomization of one kind of flue gas oil remains on the inner wall of the vent. As it accumulates, it will be easily pumped into the mouth over time. The other is caused by the structure of the atomizing chamber, and the smoke oil seeps out. Because the atomizing chamber needs air inlet and outlet, the upper part and the lower part are connected and have pores. Smoke oil is also liquid. If the viscosity of smoke oil is not high, it will easily permeate through the vent at the bottom over time. This problem is a common fault in the industry and has always been difficult to solve. It can only be controlled within a certain probability range.
　　Another problem is paste core. At present, the smoke bomb with ceramic core is still the mainstream. However, the problem with ceramic core is that its structure consists of many irregular holes. Some natural spices in the smoke oil are carbonized by heat and adhere to the small holes. As the use time increases, carbon deposits are formed, affecting the taste. Finally, homogenization. As mentioned just now, lookah glass dab rigs is basically OEM and has a very low threshold. How low is the threshold? Some people in the industry joked that the founder of 500 yuan registered trademark and 500 yuan design trademark was born. Therefore, some brands that are selling well on the market now all look the same. Even if the appearance is different, the internal core technologies are the same.
　　At this stage, everyone is engaged in marketing promotion and channel construction. In the medium and long term, water pipes online will compete with products and brands in the future. In fact, the future is not far away. In 2019, glass pipes will enter a fierce race track. When the online red phase is over and the online conversion capability is exhausted, glass pipes will definitely give up its barbaric growth mode and build new brands and channels. At that time, glass pipes will return to the traditional offline channel and the channel is bound to sink. For example, bars, KTV, restaurants, convenience stores, Internet cafes and other terminal channels. This is the second half that decides who will take the lead in glass pipes. Global tobacco control is the general trend. International giants and even China Tobacco Group are laying out new tobacco markets one after another. This explains why Marlboro's parent company bought JUUL. JUUL's users are mostly after 00 or even after 10, Marlboro is obviously making a strategic layout for the future.
　　The East is no exception. According to PMI statistics, currently developed countries in East Asia such as Japan and South Korea have the highest acceptance of lookah shop. Currently, 4.41 million users in East Asia have completely converted into glass pipes users, accounting for 76.4% of the world's total. China is similar to Japan and South Korea in culture. If it were not for policy restrictions and biased public opinion, China could also have a large-scale user transformation. The frequent smuggling cases of glass pipes in the past year can reflect.
