    Default Here's an idea for Manufacturers

    As weak as the usb pass throughs are, how about the pass through with a separate cord, like cell phone usb chargers, i.e., Iphone?

    That way, when the cord breaks, we can just go out and get another cord for a buck and the Dollar Store. Mini usb on one end and standard usb on the other.

    Just my 2 cents worth.

    If someone designed products so they could be fixed for a buck, they'd go out of business. The alternative would be to raise the price to offset their losses.

    All my home-made pass throughs are using mini usb, but then again I build them for myself...

    Default I'd like to see a Black & Mild eCigar version

    If there's one out there already I've missed it and I've searched and searched.
    Seriously, wish I had the bucks to manufacture one cuz I'd do it.
    What a market! Have you noticed how many men between 21 and 50 smoke those Black & Milds? It's a product that appeals to the rebels so that's another reason a B&M eCigar would take off, most Vapers are rebels and not afraid to break from the pack.
    I started searching for them because my son smokes them. I did get him to switch the occasional Marlboro to an eCig so that's a good thing but he's still smoking those damn B&M's too.
    He tells me they're a chick magnet (lol) plus he likes them too, though he usually removes the inner paper and repacks them because they're way too harsh otherwise.
    The only eCigars I've seen are in the image of the big stogie (which holds a lotta nic juice I'll bet!) and to their credit are even soft on the outside to mimic a cigar but so far no smaller eCigars.
    I think the manufacturers are missing the market on this one.

    They cost $10 now. You add the plugs and it would cost $13. You know they could of set the price at $20 and most would be more than happy to pay that.

    Well, first of all, Black and Milds are not cigars, they are cigarillos, which are actually more like cigarettes than cigars. Cigarillos and cigarettes are both machine rolled, while cigars are hand rolled. Cigarillos and cigarettes are made lower-quality tobacco whereas cigars are generally made of the highest quality tobacco. And cigarillos and cigarettes are sold in packs, while cigars are sold as singles.

    I've seen small cigarillos sized e-cigars, I believe Spikey has one, however, I think a penstyle could be essentially an e-cigarillo because of the size and the fact that they both have the same kind of mouthpiece.

    This is called "Rolling a Blunt" and has nothing to do with the harshness. (it actually makes them more harsh) The good thing is most of the tobacco is removed in the process and replaced.
