That is a good point Mazinny. But the primary concern is what Wlad thinks will happen and how he will choose to position his business ahead of time to be best prepared. He doesn't strike me as the type of person who sits around waiting for something to happen and then decides what to do. Especially given what I've learned recently about profiles.
The industry is and will be changing for sure. There is no doubt about that. There will be a great deal of consolidation going on. In the short term there will be more
eliquid vendors popping up, but in the medium term ( 3 to 5 years down the road ), a lot of them will close
shop, some will be purchased by big
tobacco, and only a few will survive as a stand alone business imo.
What Vlads plans are, i don't know, but i am certain he won't be able to survive as a vendor with 200 different flavors and a great deal of customization.
Prices will continue to go down, as the quality of juices from other vendors improve. The less popular juices will likely go out of production as well, so if some of your favorite juices are among the less popular ones, you might consider stocking up.
