It seems like all the new vapes that have come out recently are more or less the same as the ones that have already been around the last couple years, like vaping has reached a technological plateau. Is that accurate or do you foresee any future advances like we constantly see with cellphones and computers?
What's the next technology in vaping?

With the future of vaping having been up in the air the last few years, especially in the USA, not everyone is gung-ho to invest in improving a technology that is now dependent on a gray market and probably soon will rely on a black market for sales. There have been minor improvements on the current technology, but nothing earth shattering.
What you see is mostly that the American market has gone away.
And therein lies the big sale for the Chinese companies. They are simple in terms of production, volume. When the volume disappears, they find something else to produce.
But why it became so difficult in the US I think is mainly due to low taxes from the vape industry.
The same also applies to Europe, Dimi from Innokin said it in a clarifying way, the vape industry as a whole provides Greece 1/20 in tax revenue compared to only Morris's tobacco company.
The same can be transferred to my country. Customers pay 25% VAT, while the shops deduct the import VAT of 25%.
There will not be that much tax in the treasury as a result.
And if you compare that to the taxes on tobacco, which are perhaps 60-80%...
A politician needs money to carry out something, vape does not come with a lot of cash, at least not yet.
I don't think anything really new is in the cards for vaping anytime soon. Vaping technology today works well so there is little demand for improvement. Ya, it's pretty boring these days 
What I'd like to see for vaporizer mods (and all small electronics for that matter) is migrate from being powered by Li batteries to LFP ones.
Besides being a safer chemistry they can be charged/discharged at higher rates PLUS generally have +10x longer cycle life. (more cycles equate to being in service longer before needing to be replaced)
While it seems we've come full circle back to itty-bitty coils that overheat juice fed by itty-bitty tanks and powered by itty-bitty mAh batteries it would appear that the 'golden age' of vaping at least in the USA is long gone.
The age of finding more intrusive ways to tax+regulate+ban vaping is upon us.
g.
LONG gone. :\
Nothing wrong with the old stuff.
Everything I use isn't even made anymore.
Problem for me is that even if there was something new that I just couldn't live without, I still wouldn't buy it.
I already have more than I could ever use.

"Advances" are usually a way to keep sales going rather than improve the experience. I just love working an RDA on a mech mod up to the right temperature and then hitting it at just the right time. Don't need the latest chip to do that.
The future of vaping in the USA is building your own mods and mixing your own juice.
That's assuming you have a big fat stash of nic in the freezer and a big pile of unopened RTAs and associated spare parts....decks, tank glass, etc.
If you don't then vaping isn't in your long term future.
The current loopholes will close up eventually.

Yep. We don't vape features and a puff counter tells me absolutely nothing about how much I'm enjoying this vape.
"I do not recall that."
I'll be vaping...
I'll be vaping, too, and it will be a long time before I need a self engineered mod.
I haven't built any of my own mods yet, but a 200 ml. batch of eliq that I mixed went dry last week. Made me think of a song and I don't even have a Chevy. Here's the label I put on that bottle when I mixed.
Ya, that's October 3rd, 2021! I have about 25 or so mls. left, that'll last me a couple weeks or so. I'm mixing another batch tonight. I took my 100mg/ml nic, PG and VG outta the fridge last night so they could rise to the occasion, I mean rise to room temperature..

I have an Eleaf iStick TC60W that I won in a contest here more than 5 years ago. Some of the paint has worn off, but I still use it quite regularly and it has no operational problems whatsoever.
