It has started: Big Tobacco getting serious about the e-cig industry

[moecat]

RJ Reynolds has rolled out Vuse. And if you think about it, these big boys have the $$$ to put into R&D for mods, juice etc., and not just the crappy Blu stuff (recently acquired by Lorillard, by the way) ... IF they wanted to.

Does that potentially bode well for reasonably savvy vapers such as ourselves, or will we soon get to the point where we''ll be officially fucked?!

I thought those had been out for a while? Maybe it was test-marketing them or something.

It doesn't matter in either case. They will fail, and we will vape. And they will blow away with their own ashes.

Everything, EVERYTHING I've heard about Vuse was negative. Even compared to other Cigalikes.

Big tobacco will not get into mods atleast for a long while. They have a simple plan just like with tobacco and that is to sell you a disposable hunk of shit that cost them the lest amount of money to make for the highest amount possible. WE frankly are not their target. They want the gas station and grocery store market.

This is also the same industry that has been knowingly selling cancer causing products by adding really bad chems to cigs in order to make them more addictive so I have ZERO faith they will do anything to improve the ecig industry. I think it is far more likely they will try to lobby to get the stuff we like banned and over regulated with enough money sinks small company's can not afford so all you will be able to buy are the shitty prefilled blu type ecigs which they can make the most cash off of.

Luckily for us it might be past that point but they will try their best fuck with us I guarantee you that.

i picked on up for a lol and asked the vapers in my fam to try them. all who either currently have protanks and rebuild or go with a basic cigalike anyway.

1. the connection is not like a 510 that we know. it sort of clicks into place. ill find it and take pics for you when i can. life is buzy so ill update the thread when the time comes.

2. hard plastic vart
3. price 10.bucks for a starter kit and 5.99 per refill cart.
4. requires a long slow pull like thick shake thru coffee straw
5. non refillable so far might ripe it apart to see what i find.

packaging says it has controller in the cart
i got a basic tobacco.
flavor wise was to strong for me i go 6mg it was 24 i think i did not see it marked on the unit anyway.
for my pops no flavor what so ever
for moms she hated it.


bottom line we have yet to worry but there will be some who do not know of better.
