Booming E-cigarette market and statistics

[Petrodus]

E-cigarettes will soon be a Billion-dollar industry. The sales now appears to be increasing faster than anyone can track. The market is so wide open the MLMers (Multi-Level Marketers) are moving the product.

New websites offering E-cigarettes and those linking to commercial websites seem to be popping up everyday. E-cigarettes are now available in many smoke shops, convenient stores, and in malls.

I just Googled: “Electronic Cigarettes” Christmas present. Results: 28,800. I bet that number will look small by this time next month.

I doubt there's way to track the numbers of smokers who are switching to E-cigs every day or week or month. What ever that number is...It should double soon.

The E-cigarette boom should have a proportional impact on the ECF, driving the membership higher.

It would be interesting to compare the number of members 2 years ago with 1 year ago, 6 months ago, and today.

More and more people are joining everyday. Now if I could get a local vendor.

A lot of places in Houston sell SS. If they sell those, they may carry other stuff as well, albeit at much higher prices... Likely emergency needs only...

I kinda don't want it to catch on, the faster it catches on the sooner it will be heavily HEAVILY taxed.

Becareful with your Google Searches for ecigarettes. Lot's of scam vendors. I learned the hard way. Wish I found ECF before I made my first purchase. Most site in the search where the E9 type like blu cig, green smoke etc.....

Yeah if they're not banned first. lol





did everyone just forget about all that or...

It just makes me sad to think the government would rather us smoke analogs and die.

I'll admit that the thought has crossed my mind to see what I'd need to do to start my own juice business. It's just a thought.

Just this evening, I opened an email invitation from the ACS CAN to take a survey online. Its many questions essentially boiled down to how much I supported their goal of raising money. I waded through the questions, hoping that somewhere there would be an opportunity for me to vocalize my views in writing. It finally came, at the end of the survey. At which point I essentially said I could not support the ACS so long as they opposed the "electronic cigarette". While vaping may be gaining new users, and clearly helping a lot of people to kick the cancer sticks, there's a lot of big money opposition. And, 'not for profit' groups like the ACS will blindly continue to oppose the technology so long as the FDA does so. As Clevername, in post #7, said ... they would rather that we go back to smoking cigarettes. It's madness.

There is more than 1 reason I chose to join the ECF. The collective knowledge of the membership is Awesome! If "They" try the Over Tax game...Members will pop-up immediately with "The Formula" including where to shop.

I have been watching page rankings on quantcast and alexa and I have seen in the past couple of months all e cig related sites jump about 100,000 in points which is really good. It's only a matter of time before they get higher and higher.

My advice to everyone is learn how to make them (there is allot of how to's) and also learn how to DIY your own e-liquid just incase they are banned. I keep a supply of DIY products on hand for that reason.
