Are ecigs the number 2 export from china? I had a interesting talk with someone that brought up that idea. Was curious if anyone has a reference my googlefu is bad tonight.

it would seem that way, lol, but no...they are a tiny fraction of the #1 import.
Top US imports from China:
1 Electrical machinery and equipment
2 Power generation equipment
3 Toys, games, and sports equipment
4 Furniture
5 Footwear and parts thereof
6 Apparel, knitted or crocheted
7 Apparel, not knitted or crocheted
8 Plastics and articles thereof
9 Iron, steel
10 Vehicles, excluding rail
all above are in the *billions* of dollars -- for instance, electrical machinery and equipment is over 98 billion per year.

Ref beat me to it, darn
...but i'm leaving it since i put in the effort.

I doubt it too but just doing some fact checking after visiting some brick and mortars. And I am having problem checking that. Figured if it was true and published someplace this would be the place to ask for the reference link.
oh I see thanks @ref Minor @shizzle. So they can be part of the number one or two import. That makes way more sense thanks guys.
dude your way off.. ecigs are by far the lowest export... whoever you were talking to really didnt know what they were talking about.. nor have any idea..
i work at a very large import and export company and i can tell you.. no one orders a container full of ecig parts, the parts are just too small to be ordering a 20ft container..
btw check this out.. it seems they are smuggling cigs in wood logs.
