I have tried almost every model of electronic cigarette on the market.  Electronic Cigarette Review after review and and many times I was left unsatisfied.  Today we introduce the true future of electronic cigarettes, the e-rette regular kit!  We remind you that at Electronic Cigarette Nation, we will not put up a product we cannot stand behind.

We have other two piece models on our website and e-rette has taken it to the next level for us.  We finally have found a two-piece design that offers a lot of flavor and strength options while maintaining the high level of vapor and throat hit we have come to expect from two piece models.  You do not have to worry about becoming bored anymore with your electronic cigarette.   E-Rette offers 48 flavors (listed below).

The first kit we look at is the Regular E-rette electronic cigarette starter kit (pictured above).  This kit comes with everything you need to get started and switch to electronic cigarettes.  The kit comes with 2 batteries (one long, one short), five cartridges (assorted strengths), a USB charger, and a home charger to plug into the wall.  We didn’t have any trouble using the e cig all day without charging because you have two batteries.  We recommend as soon as you switch batteries that you charge the second one though.  With both chargers included, you can charge it on your computer (or laptop) or in the wall!  I used my Regular E-rette electronic cigarette at work and was able to plug in the USB charger to my desktop and keep going without having to install anything on my computer.  I also increased my productivity because I wasn’t taking smoke breaks.  It was almost a kick back to old times when you could smoke at your desk, but now you can vape without hurting your co-workers and still get your nicotine fix!

For those of you who are not gadget friendly, don’t worry because this electronic cigarette is assembled and ready to use in seconds.  I took out my battery and cartridge and had them screwed together instantly and I was off to the races with vaping.  This vapor level that this e cigarette puts out is way more than smoke that you would get with a regular cigarette.  The throat hit is amazing and it feels very similar to a real cigarette. While all of the flavors are great, I personally prefer tobacco as it is close to regular cigarettes.   Each cartridge did tend to last the amount of time I would have smoked 1.5 packs of cigarettes.  The benefit to this two piece design is that it allows larger cartridges and more space for the e-liquid.  If you are going to switch to electronic cigarettes and start smoking anywhere, the Regular E-rette Starter kit is the best choice out there!

The flavors E-rette offers are:

1. Almond
2. Apple
3. Banana
4. Black Tea
5. Blueberry
6. Camel
7. Cappuccino
8. Caramel

The Electronic Cigar is coming.  We are actively creating a new place for you to learn more about electronic cigars.  The electronic cigarette has seen an unparalleled rise in popularity recently with the electronic cigar being left out.  We are creating a site dedicated to only electronic cigars and it will be catered to the consumers that use them.  This is a great opportunity for cigar smokers to smoke inside again where it is banned! Stay tuned as we continue to provide updates.

A few months ago we began discussions with the owner of a local chain of gas stations about selling electronic cigarettes in his locations. Luckily we realized that we weren’t prepared to handle the requirements of this endeavor. Since then we have learned a great deal about electronic cigarettes and what it takes to be successful in distributing them offline.

There are many gas stations and retail locations across the U.S. selling electronic cigarettes with varying degrees of success. Most of these locations can be found along the East Coast. However, pockets of retail stores selling electronic cigarettes are popping up in other areas including the Midwest where we are located. Just this evening I walked into a PDQ in Madison WI and found a small display for Fifty-One Electronic Cigarettes.

Fifty-One has recently taken over the kiosks in our two major local malls from Smoking Everywhere. Fifty-One is very similar to Smoking Everywhere except for the fact that they sell disposable e-cigs as well. I asked the cashier at PDQ how the e-cigs were selling and she told me that she had personally sold two kits in the past week and she thought others had been stolen. With the help of companies like Fifty-One, we hope that e-cigs become more popular and wish them the best in the offline arena.

Below are, in our eyes, the keys to succeeding in selling electronic cigarettes in retail:

1) Don’t Sell Disposables – Disposable electronic cigarettes are a great way to try out e-cigs before investing a lot of money. Unfortunately, the costs of disposables do not pay off when compared to how much use you get out of them. Every disposable we have used has equaled out to about a packs-worth of traditional cigarettes, and the cost for disposables is typically $14 or higher. Unless you are living in NYC, that isn’t a very good deal. Besides, it usually takes more than one cartridge of vaping to decide if you really enjoy electronic cigarettes. Stores will be better off selling a small, rechargeable kit with multiple cartridges. We suggest finding a low-priced KR-808 as this two piece model is simple, provides a lot of vapor, looks like a cigarette, and most new vapers fall in love quickly with them.

2) Make it Cheap – Carrying on from the point above, the initial high cost of electronic cigarettes is a huge deterrent for a lot of potential vapers. Most retail locations partner with established electronic cigarette companies because the companies will typically handle the displays and logistics. The downside is they will usually charge more to cover marketing and branding expenses. There are many generic suppliers that can provide very low-priced kits that perform exceedingly well.

3) Provide Learning Materials – Knowledge is king. Through my experience, I’ve come to realize that most people don’t fully understand what electronic cigarettes are, and view them as a gimmick or fad. The best way to combat this is to provide a little reading material. A stack of simple flyers next to the register explaining what electronic cigarettes are, and how they are better than analogs, should do the trick.

4) Lock it Up – The display case pictured above was covered on all sides but the back. It would be very easy to reach around the back and pull the electronic cigarettes and cartridges out. This was confirmed when the cashier told me that she believed more had been stolen than sold. Theft of electronic cigarettes would be unfortunate on multiple levels. It would hurt your revenue from the product, which makes it less likely to keep them in stock. It can also lead to electronic cigarettes falling into the hands of minors. If a parent catches their child with electronic cigarettes and learns that they came from the local gas station, that parent could very easily make a public outcry to not sell electronic cigarettes there.

5) Keep It Simple Stupid – One of the first things I learned while taking classes on marketing was “KISS,” or Keep It Simple Stupid. The truth is, if you bombard the customer with too much variety or information, they will be turned off. Even though there are hundreds of excellent flavors available for electronic cigarettes, we suggest selling only a few. Historically, the strongest sales of e-liquid flavors have been traditional tobacco, menthol, cherry and vanilla. Do your research and find a supplier with a good track record of happy customers.

6) Educate Employees – Every retail employee I’ve spoken to at stores that sell electronic cigarettes doesn’t seem to know very much about the products or the industry. I don’t suggest that they should take classes or become experts. But, they should have good knowledge about how it works, life of cartridges and batteries, and a general knowledge of the why the brand they are selling is better than the competition. Customers need to feel secure that what they are purchasing is useful and high-quality.

7) Don’t Sell to Minors – It may seem like common sense to keep electronic cigarettes out of the hands of minors. Unfortunately, in most states, there aren’t any laws banning sales to minors, and some suppliers have gotten in trouble for not taking this initiative. Electronic cigarettes aren’t any less addictive than traditional cigarettes, and sales of electronic cigarettes should be held to the same standards as traditional cigarettes.

If offline retailers follow the steps above, we truly believe that they will be successful in selling electronic cigarettes. This public exposure will also help broaden the impact of e-cigs and make them more commonplace. If you would like more information on distributing electronic cigarettes in retail stores, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Totally Wicked has been working with Joytech to develop a brand new electronic cigarette, sure to rock the e-cig world.  We have highlighted just some of the functions of the Evil Weevil below and further down you can watch the video describing the upcoming unit in further detail.

Almost as soon as the smoking ban took place statewide in Wisconsin, Smokers turned to the electronic cigarette. There has been a spike in traffic to electronic cigarette sites including Electronic Cigarette Nation. Analog Cigarette users are open to the idea of switching all together, but are definitely looking for another option to use in places affected by the ban.

The electronic cigarette emits a water vapor that delivers nicotine to the user without producing second hand smoke. In fact, because there is no smoke, consumers are able to still use the electronic cigarette in public places such as bars, restaurants, hospitals, airports, etc. Anti-smoking groups have put a lot of bad PR out there about electronic cigarettes and want to ban them, however most of them have never been tobacco users. We all know that quitting smoking is the best choice, but we also understand how difficult it is to quit. That is why the electronic cigarette was made. They have eliminated the need to take in 4000 chemicals and subject others around you to the bad smells and second hand smoke associated with traditional cigarettes. The best news is that smokers can save thousands of dollars a year with this new invention! We strongly encourage you to read our reviews and find the best electronic cigarette for you. If you need any help, please feel free to email webmaster@electroniccigarettenation.com and we will personally guide you through the process. There are no other review sites willing to do that!

In another show of marketing genius, Green Smoke is offering Johannesburg, South Africa residents coupons for trading in their non-Green Smoke brand electronic cigarettes. This coupon is worth R300.00 (approx. $40 USD) and can be used toward purchasing Green Smoke products. The company suggests purchasing their starter kit and using the coupon toward their cartridges, which currently cost R99 for a five pack.

Green Smoke hopes that Johannesburg residents who are unhappy with their current brand of e-cig will take up this offer and become life-long Green Smoke customers. It takes a great deal of confidence in a product for a company to offer such a large discount in hopes of converting new customers.

Smokers have long been subject to special interest groups targeting them.  It is no different with electronic cigarettes.  As smokers face higher taxes and public humiliation for having to be segregated from the general population, lawmakers are always pushing to make matters worse.  The truth is, the government does not want you to quit smoking cigarettes.  They definitely don’t want you to switch to electronic cigarettes because they will lose all the tax dollars and have to raise taxes on the rest of America.

Smokers have had enough and are standing up around the world.  Electronic cigarettes have exploded in popularity in Europe and are now facing opposition.  We are not sure why no one wants to ban analog cigarettes.  If they are so bad for everyone, apply the laws fairly and ban them all.  At least that is the stance that Europeans are taking with a soaring number of petitions and protests.  In America, lawmakers will have to be willing to raise the taxes for every service you use if they push to ban smoking all together.

The good news, a hospital in Tampa has given it’s stamp of approval to electronic cigarettes on their premises.  If you are addicted to smoking, you know that your nicotine cravings must be satisfied.  I have to wake up early and get caffeine in my system before I get moving too far and I am sure most of America is the same.  When getting a caffeine fix, I can sit and my desk and continue to work while doing so.  In order to satisfy my nicotine cravings I have to stop working and walk far enough away from the building to smoke.  That all changed when I was introduced to electronic cigarettes.  Now I can “smoke” or vape at my desk.  There is no odor, no second hand smoke, and I am not ingesting thousands of chemicals just to get the nicotine.  The Tampa hospital took a productive gains standpoint when approving electronic cigarettes on their grounds.  The workers no longer need to go down many flights of stairs and hide, they just continue working while vaping with their e cig.

The hospital also reduced the amount of employees subject to second hand smoke and will drive down health costs, creating a great bottom line savings.  I have been vaping in my smoke-free workplace with no problem at all and have seen great productivity gains myself.  We have had vapers report that they have been able to use their e cig in airports, on airplanes, and in many other “smoke free” areas.

We highly recommend you make the switch to electronic cigarettes today!

The American Association of Public Health Physicians (AAPHP) has petitioned the FDA to change the classification of electronic cigarettes to be changed to a Tobacco product and NOT a drug device combination. The FDA has used the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 201(g) and 201(h) to try and control electronic cigarettes. The policy covering these products should be the new FDA/Tobacco legislation as a tobacco product according to the American Association of Public Health Physicians.

The AAPHP is also petitioning the FDA to change their high-ranking press release regarding electronic cigarettes that was issued on July 22nd, 2009. This petition has single handedly damaged the name of electronic cigarettes. The AAPHP has provided proof that the FDA needs to amend this document.
Joel L. Nitzkin, MD, MPH, DPA the Chair, Tobacco Control Task Force, American Association of Public Health Physicians (AAPHP) states that “reclassification of E-cigarettes to tobacco products could open the door to a new harm reduction component to current tobacco control programming. That new component, in turn, could rapidly and substantially reduce tobacco-related illness and death without increasing the numbers of teens initiating nicotine use.” This comes as a blow to the FDA’s statements regarding the safety of electronic cigarettes. Joel Nitzkin also points out that no money from electronic cigarette companies, tobacco companies, or any other source has been provided to them for their research and findings.

There currently are only two categories listed in the new FDA/Tobacco legislation, cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. Electronic Cigarettes do not fit in either of these categories so they request that they be put in a new category of nicotine vaporizers. They are requesting for them to be regulated the same as other tobacco products and warning labels to be put on ONLY for nicotine addiction. Electronic Cigarette Nation has been a strong supporter of certain laws changing regarding electronic cigarettes, such as age requirements and manufacturing requirements. The marketing material should also be regulated to ensure these are not targeting children. The quality of electronic cigarettes will rise and the wide variety of methods used to create the liquids will be consolidated into an approved method. This will increase the satisfaction and safety of electronic cigarette users.
The petition states ethical concerns as well, “FDA priorities are expected to be the protection of the public’s health. Agency decisions are expected to be based on the best available science. FDA should not mislead health-related organizations or the general public as to the health hazard posed by any product. FDA’s current stances relative to E cigarettes, as presented at the July 22, 2009 FDA press conference, fails on all three of these considerations.” As Americans, we trust in our government to be looking out for our best interests for the public. The FDA will need to read, review, and update their press release, which we understand will take time, however it should be posted within a month of acceptance of the science.
The AAPHP suggests that the risk of death would be less than 5% using electronic cigarettes based on the similar nature to other nicotine replacement products on the market today. The chemical Propylene glycol is recognized as safe and used in many products used in the food and drug industry today. The nicotine levels are similar to that of a cigarette according to the FDA’s study. The lives of 4 to 8 million of the current tobacco users could be saved over the next 20 years. The AAPHP believes that the deaths caused by tobacco products could drop to 10,000 a year after 20 years. The current death rate per year is 400,000+ people. These numbers are staggering and reaffirm what Electronic Cigarette Nation has believed this whole time regarding electronic cigarettes.

Most Americans want to quit smoking or know it is bad for them, however replacing the act of smoking is much more difficult compared to getting off the nicotine. Electronic Cigarettes offer multiple levels of nicotine and even a zero nicotine liquid. This could help you phase out the use of nicotine and still enjoy the process of smoking, which would greatly increase your chance of switching from traditional cigarettes for good. 98% of the deaths caused by tobacco related products come from traditional cigarettes.

We applaud the AAPHP for doing this research and providing supporting documents to the FDA. These Doctors approve the electronic cigarette. We suggest you consult your physician today with this document and see what they think. More information regarding this story can be found at the AAPHP’s site.

At Electronic Cigarette Nation, we have heard a lot of negative comments about electronic cigarettes.  Here is the truth; stopping smoking is the best thing for your health.  I am not here to say nicotine is great at all.  Smokers everywhere want to quit and simply can’t, now they have an alternative to analog cigarettes.  This isn’t a smoking cessation device, but take a look at the comparison chart below and make the decision on electronic cigarettes vs. analog cigarettes for yourself.

Blu Cigs is undoubtedly at the top of the game in their marketing efforts – a beautiful website, unique blue tip, colorful product packaging, and crisp creative. And at this year’s Grammy Awards Ceremony, Blu raised the bar even higher.

Managing to get their starter kits (decked out in exclusive Swarovski crystal-embedded packaging) into the official GRAMMY Awards Gift Bags, Blu has effectively made its name known with today’s greatest trendsetters. It should only be a matter of time until we see the effects of this effort.

With all of the controversy over electronic cigarettes, it is important for the industry to gather public support. Blu’s move to convert celebrity smokers to vapers should prove to add invaluable momentum to this movement. Music videos, movies, TV shows? We’ll have to wait and see…
