    We've been selling Nicolites in our shop for the last year or so and their sales rep was just out with a new range for us called vivid. A range 10 flavours of 10ml 11 and 18mg juices and small ego type batteries and what looks like 1.5ml clearomisers.

    All well and good. Much prefer to sell these than cigalikes.

    However, he also supplied us with a range of 6 fruity flavours of neon coloured packaged disposable nicotine free 'E-Shisha'........called 'CRAZE'.

    Is it just me or does anyone else think these e-Shisha are just playing into the arms of the anti vape lobbies. To me these things look like they are clearly marketing to teens and with regard to these I would find it hard to argue against the 'gateway/normalisation' arguement.

    I swear, the cigalikes companies and their old and new products like the aforementioned E-Shisha will be the death of the vaping industry.

    Agreed, E-Shisha sticks are the alco-pop of vaping.

    Hmmmm. no. Alchopops have alcohol, shisha sticks have no addictive ingredient, their nic free.
    I agree about the targeting of kids though, their popular with clubbers in the uk the way glo=sticks used to be and I think that's their level, a fad that will pass.


    The 0nic ecig will be the go to for new users (as in never smoked but trying vaping) and I don't think they will be as popular as the anti smoking people fear. Conditioning has made kids quit wary of anything that resembles smoking, I don't see any sign that those that wouldn't smoke would vape.

    Possibly those that would have smoked might try vaping as a harm reduction option which is a good thing but kids being kids will gravitate to the most dangerous option first in my experience. Both as a parent and a former kid.

    Holy crap! Why did I not think of this? Menthol or eucalyptus vape on "things" would be shamazing.
