What Difficulties E-cigarette Industry Will Face in Upcoming years?

Have you heard the news? No. of e-cigarette users reached to 21% from 10% in 2011. Every new beginning that creates difference or try to establish a different way and if that connects directly with revenue, It must get involved in oppositions by big industry player who currently rules the market.
As E-cigarettes have introduced a new paradigm towards smoking and presented a different and more harmless way of smoking, it has faced and will face difficulties caused by many potential factors including big tobacco and political communities.

Taxing on E-cigarette:

As FDA denies approving e-cigarette as a smoking cessation product, it will come under “Tobacco Products” and if the growths of e-cigarette users continue for years the way it has been growing now, there is a possibility that the government adds an extra tax on e-cigarette as other tobacco products.
As of now, there is a minor tax imposed by the government compared to tobacco cigarettes. Yet, taxing on e-cigarette can become a great source of revenue which may encourage the government to tax on e-cigarette equally in future.

Ban due to Low Quality Brands:

As per recent data, revenue of the e - cigarette industry gets doubled in 2012 compared 2011. It is one of the most lucrative industry niches for establishing a business and increasing a customer base. There is also remarkable growth has been marked in no. of smokers who switched to e-cigarette. Due to this, there are no. of people have started their own business and selling e-cigarette at much cheaper rates. These cheap e-cigarettes don’t pass through quality manufacturing standard and may cause serious health issues or incidents.
Hence, e-cigarette communities and associated have released a quality standard for manufacturing, still there is no defined way to stop low quality brands from circulating their low quality e-cigs.

Ban on Advertising Even If It Doesn’t Contain Tobacco

As of now, e-cigarettes brands are allowed to sponsor any events, able to advertise online and on radio and retail store advertising. But the days are not far when they will be forced to restrict the entire advertising and marketing medium that tobacco brands are restricted to advertise.
This can impact on the circulation and introduction of E-cigarette as “better Smoking Alternative “towards smokers.

Risk of over Consumed Nicotine:

It is true that E-cigarettes are 100% safer alternative to traditional cigarettes yet as it insulates nicotine in the form of vapor, If someone gets too addicted to e-cigarette and start smoking it frequently than regular smoke, there is  the risk of diseases and health problems, caused by high consumption of nicotine in body.
All above reasons can be used as excuses for government or communities to impose a ban on e-cigarette and many countries have already restricted selling of e-cigarette even if the selling of traditional tobacco products are allowed to do so.

Different Types of E-cigarette

In keeping with the increasing awareness among the public related to e-cigarette and positive sales structure, it is no wonder the makers of this wonderful new product are forever thinking of ways to add new customers to their network. Innovation is the only way to keep the customers interested and deal with competition, which is increasing as newer players come on the manufacturing scene. The buyer ultimately benefits from this arrangement since today one can select e-cigarette they want from numerous different designs and makes.  

The basic types of e-cigarette:

Disposable

Disposable variety of e-cigarette is for the beginners and they are ideal for ‘trying it out’. This variety comes cheap and you can start out with this use and throw the product before graduating to other types, which are available.

Convenient two-piece

Two-piece electronic devices for smoking are scientific and therefore naturally rising on the popularity charts. Here the atomizer used in the device along with refill cartridge comes as a separate unit altogether. Resultantly this system does away with messy and time-consuming cartridge dripping which deters many e-smoke users. In the convenient two-piece system, maintenance is easy where you only need to charge batteries and replace cartridge whenever needed.

Three-piece varieties


Three-piece varieties as the name suggests comes with 3 separate units containing the battery, the atomizer and the cartridge. There are both benefits and limitations of this system. Benefits include that you can customize the parts according to your needs and personalize it to perfection. On the downside, replacing separate parts can become costly since problems in the functioning of any one part can make the whole device stop working altogether.

Variations in style:

You cannot write with this pen


Pen style electronic smoking units have a deceptive and interesting appearance that looks exactly like any writing device, which one uses in their daily lives. The shape and size are exactly same to any pen that you may come across. Color of this pen like smoking device is usually white.

The smaller the better

Those who want their electronic smoking device to appear almost non-existent can try out the mini or super-mini varieties that can fit in anywhere for a ready smoke whenever you feel like it! However, the downside of this small sized device is that you need to charge it quite frequently even four or more times in a single day. Again the miniscule size becomes a limitation when it comes to it comes to use of high capacity batteries which simply do not fit in the available space.

Pipe or cigar simulation

Buyers love variation and e-cigarette manufacturers are more than ready to provide them with what they want. Therefore, those who want to smoke a pipe or a cigar do not need to be disappointed since there is an electronic smoking device just right for you.

With so many options to choose from, pick up the one that suits your style and pockets and you are ready to embark on a journey through the world of e-cigarettes. Happy E-Smoking!
