Has this been out for a while and I just missed it?? Never heard of the brand, but interesting that they carry them and the price isn't too bad! (I paid more than that for my OMG kit from the expo booth.)

Well..It's in the NRT section ( health) so I am sure big Pham just got a piece of this. I think it would be better to be in the cigarette section.
Maybe also in tobacco shops? It looks like e-cigs are not headed for a smoking alternative..

I doubt they will sell juice their, seems like the carts are the way to go to make money. 10 carts for 20, whats that about 10mg? Hopefully the people that buy these with find there way to some of our US liquid makers for juice. I hear good things but haven't had the chance to try any yet, but something is actually be produced in the US and it could create some jobs.

how have u saved 80 bucks but avoided 4300 cigarettes? Thats all im interested in.

That's like mine... I still haven't broken even yet because I made my own analogs out of raw tobacco, so vaping isn't actually a big money saver for me, however I feel much better, which is priceless!

BTW, glad to see Walmart carrying e-cigs, which like others have said should make them more mainstream. My only fear is that they end up under big pharm control, which wouldn't be a good thing. Guess I'll hope for the best and keep on vaping! :)

Wow! That is out of this world... I can still buy a 16oz bag of "pipe tobacco" which is really just relabeled cigarette tobacco for about $17, plus $3.00 for a box of 200 filtered tubes that work with my cigarette machine. (I'm located in the Midwest) However, 16oz of tobacco listed as "cigarette" tobacco is about $50, so you can see the effect that taxes have on the price.
BTW, 16oz of tobacco is good for about 600 cigarette machine cigarettes.

Oh well, I feel so much better since I've been vaping, even making cigarettes as cheaply as I listed above is crazy when I can taste, smell, and feel a lot better by vaping instead. It's a bit more expensive really, but like I said before, it's hard to put a price on feeling better.

Wow, this is a big win for us! for all I care, it could be a big POS product, but for a conservative company like wal-mart to be carrying PV's is HUGE!

That's EXACTLY why Walmart is carrying e-cigs. Because they're conservative! They're known for knowing the difference between good and evil. :D

Good for you, Walmart!


P.S. nightowl, I vape in Walmart all the time. :)

This is fantastic news! I've been thinking of opening up an e-cig kiosk in my local mall for a little while now, but was afraid to invest the money only to have them become regulated/illegal right after.

If Wal-Mart has decided to sell them, that is certainly a good sign. Looks like I'll be standing for 12 hours at a time here in the near future... (or 6 if my g/f will split the time with me)
