From June 18-20, the highly anticipated World Vape Show Dubai 2025 took place at the Dubai World Trade Center. During the event, a 2Firsts survey found that numerous brands showcased e-cigarettes with aluminum alloy casings as a key highlight.

Compared to the plastic or other composite materials commonly used in regular e-cigarettes, aluminum alloy casings come with a higher production cost. However, brands opt for this material due to its metallic texture, durability, and superior heat dissipation properties, enhancing the product's premium feel and hand grip.

Below are images of e-cigarette products featuring aluminum alloy casings (all images courtesy of 2Firsts):
