World Vape Show Dubai 2026: where VOOPOO, Vaporesso, HQD and SKE are standing

World Vape Show Dubai opens at Dubai World Trade Centre on Tuesday 10 November and runs until Thursday 12 November. The 2026 edition sits later in the year than usual, and for the first time it shares the venue and the opening days with WT Middle East, the tobacco trade fair, and the World Cigar Show.

That co-location matters for vape buyers. Distributors who cover both tobacco and next-generation nicotine products can walk between the three events on 10 and 11 November, while the vape halls stay open for a third day.

Where the big vape brands are standing

The organiser’s exhibitor list gives fixed stand numbers for most of the device and e-liquid makers that buyers from the Gulf, Africa and Europe usually come to see.

Stand numbers are taken from the World Vape Show Dubai exhibitor list as published on 6 November. Organisers can still move stands before the doors open.

VOOPOO brings its award-winning cartridge to the floor

VOOPOO is the most active brand in pre-show promotion. Its social channels advertise a new ARGUS Z3 Nano device, a “10-Second Challenge” at the stand with ARGUS Z3 units as prizes, and demonstrations of MAGIC POD, according to exhibitor posts compiled by Landmark International Exhibition, the show’s agent in China.

MAGIC POD is the company’s adjustable-resistance cartridge. In VOOPOO’s own description it fits more than 20 ARGUS devices; the flagship ARGUS G4 can switch between 0.4 Ω, 0.7 Ω and 1.0 Ω, while the G4 mini, ARGUS Z3 and older models use the 0.7 Ω and 1.0 Ω settings. The ARGUS G4 and MAGIC POD took second places for device and innovation at InterTabac in September.

VOOPOO has not published specifications for the ARGUS Z3 Nano. Buyers should treat it as a preview until the company releases a product page.

Manufacturers are pitching to brand owners, not shoppers

Several exhibitors are using the show to recruit partners rather than launch consumer products. BOTON, which exhibits jointly with KIMREE, is promoting manufacturing capacity, atomisation technology and OEM/ODM projects. YTOO, the Shenzhen e-liquid maker, has booked its stand for e-liquid OEM and ODM work, as VapeBrief reported in October.

For importers in markets that tightened rules this year, this is the useful part of the floor. A contract manufacturer can show what testing, labelling and documentation it supplies, which matters more in the UAE, the EU or US directory states than the product’s puff count.

What else is on the programme

The organiser lists a conference programme, the World Nicotine and Tobacco Awards and a Compliance Clinic run with the testing firm Inter Scientific. It says more than 300 companies exhibit each year and that over 95% of 2026 stand space had been booked.

WT Middle East runs on 10 November from 10:00 to 19:00 and on 11 November from 10:00 to 17:00, according to its organiser. Entry to WT Middle East is free for trade professionals; World Vape Show sells its own trade tickets.
