E-cigarettes may not be the savior of the tobacco industry

“Consumers are willing to try the product, but they are not satisfied.”

According to Nielsen convenience-store data, e-cig sales declined 17% in the period ending June 7. What’s more, prices have been negative for six sequential monthly periods, driven by unit declines of 2.8% and lower year-over-year net pricing of 14.2%.

“We believe the negative pricing trends could be due to increased penetration of kits which offer a lower price/cartomizer.”

The way that I read this is cigalikes do not satisfy the user so they look for something else. More vape shops open and the user moves to a gen 2 or 3 device and it is driving the sales of big T down. Woe to big T ...

I did, I just bought a gallon of VG and lots of different flavors. I am only vaping 0 - 3 mg nic and I have 100 ml of 100 mg so I am set for a long time.

They may be tracking the ecigs sold by tobacco companies and not the ones we do use. You have to remember there are a lot of confused people talking about ecigs.

Good point. It is 'convenience store data'. In fact wasn't there a thread about that? Maybe something Bonnie Herzog wrote....

That's a pipe dream if the FDA has anything to say about it.
