E Cigs made it to the big screen!!!!!!

[mistinthewoods]

Anything that puts this alternative to cigarettes in the public arena is a good thing in my book.
Who doesn't want to emulate Johnny Depp? I've already bought a tall ship and a collection of straight razors.
(I'm joking, of course)

it could be far, far worse than blu. at least it wasn't a smoking everywhere or somesuch lol.

unfortunately i can't think of any "sexy" e-cigs that can be easily promoted except for maybe blu and volcano....but johnny depp with an inferno would be cool.

Yup..it could have been greensmoke, my first back in Dec '09.

Ha I hear that. Depp was one of the best choices that could have been made to do this.

I like there getting more exposure & Johnny Depp to boot. ALRIGHT!!! I posted also a video of Allison Dubois the medium vaping on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills but be warned others have told me they can not get through it due to screeching women.

i was so happy to see it and stunned at the same time. Ecigs are on the rise Just a matter of time before philip morris comes out with one

I'm definitely happy to see e-cigs coming to the big screen. But, I know that I would never be able to trust Philip Morris or any other Big tobacco company with these. If or when that time comes, I hope I can just stick with what I have. I really wouldn't want those guys coming back trying to dig my grave again.

More demand equals higher price ;(

Amen! Can you imagine trying to call them about a problem with the order you received? LOL The customer service side of the industry is as perfect as you could ask for right now. Even the Chinese suppliers I use are quick to respond if there is a problem. I had a scratch on an atty, fixed by the next day. BT wouldn't do that.

 

[texastumbleweed]

ha ha...........love that analogy....thats why i vape an eGo with a mega eGo cartridge and mega eGo atomizer...and i do drive a jacked up 4x4 truck with monster mudder tires................everything in Texas is bigger lol!

LOL....tell that to the oil industry.

Not necessarily. Especially with vaping. It's an emerging industry, so the infrastructure isn't yet fully in place to mass produce and sell the equipment. I expect prices will go down as e-cigarettes become more popular. Assuming the government doesn't tax it to hell, of course.

I don't think many people here use snus, but I do. For about 6-8 months (hard to say exactly), I used it instead of vaping for price and convenience reasons, and I still use it for situations where I can't openly vape. It's a very simple, very natural product. Some of the most popular brands have absolutely no flavoring at all, just cured tobacco and salt... American BT got involved, and promptly produced what is widely considered to be some of the worst "snus" of all time. It's basically cheap, crappy dip in a pouch, completely alienating both snus and dip lovers. It was almost impressive, their commitment to missing the point. I will eagerly await their attempt at an e-cig, just for comedy purposes.

 

[Nepherael]

I hope you're right. See demand will increase price but at the same time juice and mods are so easy to mix and build that they may have no voice but to go cheaper. Especially with distributors that are already established on this forum competing for business

I think having Allison Dubois associated with e-cigs did not help our cause. In addition to reacting negatively to her as a person, other people on the show reacted to her use of the e-cig with disgust. I cringed while watching it, thinking this can't be good for the reputation of e-cigs to have it used by such an evil-seeming person.

 

[Nepherael]

Im hoping the informative way Depp used them in his movie will make a big difference. All I ever hear from people is how unhealthy ecigs are. The majority of society will believe what they are told. So in that regard Depp might be our savior.

 

[FreakyStylie]

So, how many people watched The Tourist? I heard it wasn't all that great. Vaping report if you did?

 

[Nepherael]

It was actually a decent movie. a little predictable but definitely worth renting

 

[Israfil]

Fekk yes! We can always use more public view, especially from the man who got me into straight razors (closest shave ever)

I don't think many people here use snus, but I do.

I bought some camel snus tins to turn into mods..that count?


Also... YAY! DC is still here!

Yes and no. Bigness has its issues, to be sure, but it also solves some problems. Right now this industry is clearly in its infancy, and it shows in the quality of the products and the insane hurdles to adoption. Perhaps a big market would be incentive for mass production with good design and quality control.

I can't even imagine buying, say, a dishwasher if the appliance industry were in the state the PV industry is in. This supply line fitting doesn't work with this model, and you can't wash plastic or non-tempered glass in that model because the water is too hot, but glass will be fine in this other model, though not plastic, and it might not work at all, but if it doesn't you can return it at you cost and we'll ship you a new dishwasher. Oh, and you'll need an electrical engineering degree to wire it up, since using a standard outlet will kill the dishwasher and maybe make your forks fly around like red-hot shrapnel. Finally, sorry for the delay in shipping, I run this appliance company out of my basement and I couldn't ship anything last week because I was doing community service for credit card fraud. But you always have the option of buying a dishwasher in a mall kiosk for $11,000 if you don't want to hassle with mail-order.

Yeah, I saw the movie, too. Awesome!

It would be the same with BT, it would just cost more. Just sayin'.
