Jakarta, Indonesia - July 12, 2023 —

At the recent Indonesia exhibition, Geekvape collaborated with Indonesian industry leaders to discuss and reveal future trends in the market.

Here is the link:

Below is a summary of their key views and insights on future industry trends:

Q1:Can you tell me about the current trends in the Indonesian market by category?

Wholesaler Santo (Jualvape):The current trend is towards POD, AIO, and MOD systems. And for disposable in market maybe good but only in Bali and center Jakarta.

Retailer Dewi (6V9 Bali): In my area, POD and MOD systems are popular but disposable products are emerging. Although not a professional field here, I am ready to enter the disposable market.

E-liquid dealer Paiy (Clouds Heaven Makassar ): For the Indonesian vape market, especially in Makassar, POD systems are currently booming.

Q2. What do you think of the future of different segments - eg disposables vs pods vs advanced open systems?

Wholesaler Andrew(vapebay): The high tax and lack of customer education make it difficult to sell disposable products this year.

Retailer: Esji ( Oracle vape store Bali) : I believe that in the future, pod and disposable systems will achieve a balance in the market due to their simplicity. If the liquid runs out, just replace it; if the cartridge tastes bad, just change it. Indonesian people prefer simple things over complicated ones.

E-liquid dealer Andri (Vapehitz): No matter which kind, let the customer choose for themselves, it is the user's choice. In my store, we still don't sell disposables because they are expensive and wasteful. Disposable products may not be popular in some cities but could be more common in larger ones.

Q3:In your opinion, what are Indonesian consumers' purchasing habits and considerations to be taken into account?

Retailer Andy(Vapestore Pekalongan): For first price, next service to customers, must think about customer satisfaction.

Retailer: Aji and Nunu (Agata vape)

Aji: First, Whether there are new devices, second, there are cheap ones, and the newest and viral.

Nunu : usually cheap, new, viral, and good colors, where I really like bright colors.

Retailer: Sandi and Riki (GM Vapor Palu)

Sandi : First cheap, which is again a trend, and color models

Riki : Usually price, the second is the color model, the third is product durability.

Q4.Do you have any knowledge and insights to share with those who work in the Indonesian e-cigarette industry

Wholesaler Boedy (JVS): He should be consistent and work hard, manage his new store well, and focus on it.

Retailer Juna (Junavape Bali): If you want to start your business in this industry, you need to fully understand your products. It's not just about selling them, but also educating your customers. Make sure your customer is your best friend and not the other way around.

E-liquid dealer Adit (Tokovapeku/preva): Don't open new store if u don't have prepare, Knows market in your location first, which product your area love it, don't be people pleaser.

Q5:How exactly does vaping help people quit smoking cigarettes?

Retailer Wayne (SarangVape): We can't blame smokers or vapers for their choices in life, let's not make them different from each other and respect what they like.

Retailer Tyo (DaggerVape): It depends on the individual, as vaping can be helpful or not.

Retailer Algus (vapormania medan): The cost of vaping is mostly cheaper than smoking cigarettes, and it's also a healthier alternative. If smokers knew this, I believe they would switch to vaping.

According to the analysis of industry leaders, in Indonesia's e-cigarette market, the current trend is still dominated by POD system, followed by MOD. Disposable are only popular in central Jakarta and some resort areas like Bali. In the future market, pods and disposables will maintain a balance, and the Indonesian e-cigarette market is booming.

Geekvape Sea sale director Alan Wong said Indonesia is one of the largest e-cigarette markets in Southeast Asia, which has achieved rapid growth in the past few years and is expected to continue to expand in the future. The Pod will remain a mainstream product for a long time to come, to meet market trends, Geekvape introduced the Q series, designed specifically for Indonesian users' preferences in appearance, taste, cartridge compatibility, and cost-effectiveness. With its superior product strength, GEEKVAPE is able to gain a large market share by 2023. According to his estimates, GEEKVAPE should be in the top five in the Indonesian market.

Alan Wong emphasized the importance of the Indonesian market to Geekvape and plans to increase investment in R&D, design, marketing, sales, and warehousing. The focus is on improving user experience, benefiting partners, promoting industry growth and healthy development.

Avaricio rides South Pacific high into Apo title defense

Avaricio rides South Pacific high into Apo title defense

MANILA, Philippines – Chanelle Avaricio brings a potent mix of winning momentum, growing confidence and proven course mastery into the ICTSI Apo Golf Classic, seeking back-to-back victories and a fourth title of the season as the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour wraps up its 2026 campaign Tuesday (Oct. 27) in Davao City. Fresh from a one-shot victory over Tiffany Lee at South Pacific last week, Avaricio heads to the quaint Apo layout with another compelling edge: a return to the course where she ruled in dominant fashion last year, turning a tight opening-round battle into a runaway triumph with a sterling second-round 68 that propelled her to an seven-shot victory. The reigning champion thus looms as the player to beat in the P1.25-million season-ending championship, armed with the confidence of a recent winner, familiarity with the demands of the course and an increasingly well-rounded game sharpened by overseas competitions, including the China Tour. Another victory would not only give Avaricio a fitting finish to her campaign but also match her four-title haul in the 2022 season. She has already stamped her class this year with victories at the demanding Pinewoods leg and Summit Point before surviving a dramatic, shifting battle of fortunes at South Pacific. Yet for Avaricio, the significance of each triumph goes beyond numbers or comparisons. “Each win means a lot to me,” said Avaricio after edging Lee in a tense finish. “It’s same as my other wins. Pero lahat naman, I'm really grateful and happy. So, it's the same as all my wins. So, grateful lang talaga.” That humility, however, will not diminish the target on her back at Apo. With her recent form and impressive title-defense credentials, Avaricio will have to contend with 23 challengers, including three amateurs, eager to derail her bid for another LPGT crown and close the season with a statement of their own. Among the leading threats is Yvon Bisera, who seeks redemption and a third title of the season, while Lee will be out to sustain her late-season charge after ending a two-year title drought at Pueblo de Oro. Daniella Uy, Harmie Constantino and Princess Superal also have the firepower to mount serious challenges if they find their rhythm early. Local knowledge could prove crucial on Apo's tight, tricky layout, putting Sarah Ababa, Mafy Singson and Chihiro Ikeda in the mix. Their familiarity with Davao's oldest golf course, where they have trained and developed their games, could provide a valuable advantage in a field expected to push Avaricio from the opening round. Also tipped to contend are Rev Alcantara, who turned in a strong performance at South Pacific, Pamela Mariano, Gretchen Villacencio, Marvi Monsalve, Velinda Castil and Monica Mondario, along with returning Korean campaigner Seoyun Kim, and Eunhua Nam. For Avaricio, the equation is compelling: arrive as the latest winner, return to a venue where she delivered a commanding performance a year ago, and chase a fourth victory in a season that has further underscored her growth as one of the tour's leading players. One more win would make that homecoming even sweeter – and give the LPGT season a finish worthy of a champion. TMT

Alex Eala teams up with Fil-Am Desirae Krawcyzk in Tokyo doubles

MANILA, Philippines — Filipina tennis ace Alex Eala teams up with Fil-American and 13-time doubles champ Desirae Krawczyk at the WTA 500 Tokyo Open doubles tournament. Eala and Krawczyk will face the Taiwanese-Japanese duo of Chan Hao-Ching and Miyu Kato in the first round on either Monday or Tuesday. Ranked No. 32 in doubles, the 32-year-old Krawczyk entered the consciousness of Filipino tennis fans after an appearance on "The Players Box" podcast last March. In the podcast, Krawczyk said that her Filipino mom, Maria, is an Eala fan so devoted that she planned on watching Eala at the Dubai Tennis Championships last February, almost forgetting that her daughter Desirae would be playing on the same date. Eala played and lost against Coco Gauff in the quarterfinal, 0-6, 2-6, on February 19. Desirae and Lyudmyla Kichenok battled Aleksandra Krunić and Anna Danilina in doubles on the same date, losing their quarterfinal match, 1-6, 6-4, 6-10. "She's like 'I'm going to come watch her when she plays on Thursday [against Gauff]'," shared Desirae. "And I was like, 'Mom, I'm going to be playing on Thursday.' She's like, 'Oh, oh, yes, you too. Yes, yes. I'm going to watch you too!'" A few weeks later at Indian Wells in March, Desirae shared that her mother planned on cooking pancit and lumpia for Alex. "She’s like, ‘I’m gonna make her pancit,’ which is a famous noodle dish in the Philippines, and then lumpia, which is like these egg rolls," said Desirae in the podcast. "I told Alex about it, and she’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, I would love that.’ And if I tell my mom that, my mom will probably make like three big bowls of noodles."

Antonelli storms to US Grand Prix pole on weekend he can take title

AUSTIN, United States — Runaway world championship leader Kimi Antonelli showed no nerves as he stormed to pole position with a perfectly-measured fastest lap in qualifying on Saturday for the United States Grand Prix. The 20-year-old Italian will wrap up the drivers' championship if he wins in Austin on Sunday, his Mercedes teammate George Russell finishes outside the top eight and Lewis Hamilton finishes outside the top four. Antonelli secured his seventh pole of the season and his first in eight races with a fastest lap in 1min 34.035sec to outpace Max Verstappen, his nearest challenger, by 0.179sec with Verstappen's Red Bull teammate Isack Hadjar a career-best third. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was fourth ahead of Russell, in the second Mercedes, and seven-time champion Hamilton in the second Ferrari. Antonelli leads Russell by 102 points in the championship and is aiming to become Formula One's youngest champion and Italy's first since Alberto Ascari of Ferrari in 1953. "We got pole so we'll try to win tomorrow," said Antonelli. "Max has been very quick and did an incredible job in qualifying so it's not going to be easy. "Hopefully, we'll be leading into Turn One and we'll try to set the pace -- even though it's going to be very tight. "I'm very happy with qualifying, but Q3 was very tough with the wind, gusty and unpredictable, but I’m happy to stick it on pole." Verstappen, who won this race from pole last year and will go in search of his fifth victory in Austin, said: "Q3 was not good. Q1, Q2 it was nice, but for whatever reason with both sets of tyres, I just didn't have the balance. No mistakes, but just no grip." McLaren duo Oscar Piastri and reigning world champion Lando Norris qualified seventh and eighth ahead of Racing Bulls' rookie Arvid Lindblad, who has a five-place grid penalty, and Liam Lawson. The session took place in hot and cloudy conditions, the two Cadillacs leading out ahead of fellow Americans Haas before Leclerc clocked a marker time of 1min 35.200sec to set the pace ahead of Verstappen. After seeing 207 laps deleted on Friday and 42 in final practice, all the drivers knew how important it was to avoid exceeding track limits in the qualifying hour – a problem that left Alpine's Pierre Gasly requiring a late lap, with seconds to spare, to survive the first qualifying session after losing his earlier time. The top ten shootout began with Antonelli quickest on the opening runs ahead of the two Red Bulls and Leclerc back in fourth, Ferrari seemingly unable to find the progressive speed needed to stay on the pace of Mercedes and their young tyro. As so often this year, the precocious Italian found the speed he needed as he prepared for his final run and delivered pole with his now customary elan.

Race for quarters twice-to-beat advantage erupts

Race for quarters twice-to-beat advantage erupts

MANILA, Philippines — A busy quadruple-header playdate kicks off the chase for the quarterfinals twice-to-beat advantage in the 2026 Shakey’s Super League (SSL) Unity Cup Round of 8 on Sunday at the Imus Sports Complex. Unbeaten defending champion National University gets an early test in Pool E when it takes on a dangerous and equally formidable College of Saint Benilde at 3 p.m. The Lady Bulldogs cruised in the elimination round, sweeping their four assignments without dropping a single set in their five-peat bid in the league’s centerpiece competition, backed by Shakey’s Pizza Parlor, Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken, Potato Corner and R&B Milk Tea.     NU head coach Norman Miguel knows the Lady Blazers have the personnel to match up against his squad. However, he sees the game as a battle of roster depth and bench contribution given the tournament’s unique all-to-play format.    “Since all-to-play ang format, having your other players stepping up on their game is of huge importance kasi not all the time our senior players will play their A-game, and if you have your second team playing competitively as well, malaking advantage para sa amin,” Miguel said. CSB, which won two of its three matches in the opening round, is one of the only two NCAA teams to advance in the playoffs of the competition, which has the Philippine Sports Commission, the Commission on Higher Education, Mikasa, Asics, Rigour Technology, Jersey Haven, Solar Sports and 12 Beyond Production as technical partners. “Having this chance and opportunity to play against UAAP teams, that’s a big thing for us,” said Lady Blazers captain and main setter Zen Basilio. Meanwhile, University of the Philippines rides the crest of its unblemished first-round run as it squares off against reigning NCAA champion Letran at 11 a.m. in the Pool F curtain-raiser. The Fighting Maroons won all three elims games, while the Lady Knights secured their Round of 8 berth by winning three of their four assignments in the first stage of pool play. On the other hand, undefeated University of Santo Tomas tests the mettle of rebuilding Ateneo De Manila University at 1 p.m. in Pool F. The Golden Tigresses, last year’s runner-up, topped their pool in the elims after winning three matches, while the Blue Eagles punched their playoffs ticket by eliminating San Sebastian College-Recoletos in a four-set decision last week. An exciting nightcap at 5 p.m. pits last season’s battle for third protagonists Far Eastern University and Adamson University in Pool E. The Lady Tamaraws, still perfect after three outings, seek to replicate their 2025 bronze medal match win over the Lady Falcons, who are on a payback mission to draw closer to clinching a crossover quarters bonus. Teams in each group play in a single-round robin format, with the top two teams in each group securing quarters incentives. All games in the competition are available live and on demand via PusoP.com and Solar Sports. TMT
