CSP (Convenience News Petroleum): “Disposables or Rechargeables”

[Tom09]

An extended cspnet article, discussing e-cigs (market/marketing) in regard to this magazine’s audience.​

Great article.

I liked the quote by Eli Alelov, president and CEO of Logic Technology Develpment LLC, makers of Logic disposable e-cigarettes.

"Once a customer goes online, the c-store has lost that end user, because the customer can get a refill for a third of the price online."

This is also why sales of mods and e-liquid should continue skyrocketing as well.

20% of e-cigs are sold via the web, according to the article.
I suppose that includes all PV's...
Certainly convenience seems to be on the mind of most buyers/users of e-cigs

I don't think that they will ever get the price point on disposables down enough, to be competitive with a rechargeable.
And having only two flavors poor and nasty doesn't help

True, but we are educated- most of the unknowing public is not and many will think that this is their only e-cig "opportunity," and grab it over cigs to begin with. What bothers me is that's how I started and it wasn't enough for me (my gums and teeth hurt trying to suck in as much nicotine as I could- and certainly one disposable is NOT the same as 1-2 packs- certainly it wasn't for me). If I had not been sold on the "concept" of e-cigs and came here to look for something better, I would have gone back to smoking. I'm sure part of the stats regarding relapsing to smoking after trying e-cigs is because these products, to be honest, are not very good.
