Lorillard's influence on the e-cig industry?

[Docliv]

Just wondering...

Good poll, well done!

I'm hoping they find a way to get the cost of Blu down...it's a good product, it'll always have a special place in my heart for getting me started on my vaping adventure. But it's just too darn expensive where it's at right now! I'm hoping that maybe, because Lorillard makes so much money off Newport, they might be willing to bring the price point of the Blu down. It would definitely generate more sales at the Walgreen's counter if they didn't cost so much!

(In a perfect world, I'd be throwing Blu starter packs to every smoker I saw standing outside in the heat/cold/rain smoking an analog! It doesn't have to be like this! Catch!! Okay, driver, go! So many smokers, so little time..)

I'm in a toss up between promoting and taking on the FDA or destroying the industry. I've heard both sides of the arguments. I'm glad that my favorite vendor for juice is in China...Dekang. Never ending supply in the event they shutdown the small mom and pop shops.

Oh and for banning mods, that will never happen. I've heard that argued also.

I voted based on what i hope will happen.......

I think a recognized name will make it more acceptable to smokers.I think it is a good thing.

I agree. I tried some cheap cheap brand ecig and it was horrible. I then tried a blu about 7 months later and my opinion was changed. The menthol flavor isn't bad at all but at 9 bucks a pop here, it's an expensive alternative. None the less it's the best over the counter I've seen or tried.

What is the current state of that anyway? Wasn't there supposed to be some kind of FDA action on that in the near future?

Yes, the FDA intends to propose "deeming" regulations that would bring electronic cigarettes under Chapter IX of the FSPTCA.
And that action is still in the future, but what form it will take is still unknown, although unlikely to be what we want.

Here is a thread for those interested in the various legal intricacies of this issue...

And when I say those interested, I would like to suggest that should be EVERY vaper on the planet earth.

Lol Newport's were my brand when I smoked. But I had blu. It got me started vaping. But then quickly became a hassle for the money. They can have each other. I don't need either product anymore. Mods are king. Good introduction though and for that I thank them.
