VIAe Just got Reviewed by "ecigarette Reviewed" Online!

VIAe was recently reviewed by "ecigaretted Reviewed", a website focused primarily on on reviewing ecigarettes. VIAe received a great review with pros including:
  • Realistic, smoke-like taste and feel
  • Great battery life
  • Nice vapor production and throat hit
  • Reasonably priced.
Additionally, they had this to say:
"This is about as good as it gets in the cig-alike market on an extremely low budget. VIAe Cigs offers probably the lowest cost to entry at just $7.99 for one rechargeable battery and cartridge."
VIAe also received high praise for the taste and the battery life:
"...their tobacco is one of the best tasting I’ve tried yet! It is incredibly smooth and smokey and doesn’t have that fake sweet taste many others have."
"The battery life on these little e-cigs is pretty phenomenal. VIAe states they have up to 5 hours of use, which is more than double most other batteries in their class. I was able to get through nearly an entire weekend of moderate vaping on one battery."

Are e-Cigarettes Here to Stay? Most Pundits Say Yes!

Electonric Cigarette Diagram
There’s a reason that e-cigarettes are on track to become a $1.7 billion dollar industry this year.
Do you know why?
Simply put, they are catching on with the masses in a way that envies all but the latest fashion trends – except e-cigarettes are here to stay. From additional research with the FDA, to ongoing legislation about where they can (and cannot) be smoked, e-cigarettes are a hot topic everywhere.
If you don’t want to take our word for it, just ask Raymond and Kerry Medina from Ephrata, Pa. who recently opened up their own e-cigarette store. Their business concept will center on providing customers all the equipment and cartridges they need to take their e-cigarette smoking to the next level.
And by next level, we mean Apple Jacks and Mountain Dew, two flavors which don’t mimic traditional tobacco tastes. These unique flavors help some smokers separate vaping into a category of its one.

Viewpoints on Vaping from Industry Experts

Smoking cessation experts, on the other hand, tend to view vaping not as a technique for quitting, but as a step in the right direction. If you ask Mary Levasseur, a smoking cessation counselor for Lancaster General Health, she’ll tell you, "I'm not pulling an e-cigarette out of anybody's mouth, but I'm going to point them to FDA-approved methods of quitting.”
Moving in the right direction
e-cigarette users will tell you that vaping makes it easier to quit, even if it doesn’t eliminate the use of nicotine. Since e-cigarettes are designed to mimic real cigarettes, they help get users on a path to lessen their nicotine intake.
One Tobacco Palace employee estimates that 90% of her customers use the device to help them stop smoking. However, since the FDA is still working towards researching the effects of the nicotine solution on users, e-cigarettes can’t be marketed in the same was as, say, a nicotine patch or chewing gum.

Viewpoints of Smokers who Have Switched

On the other side, of course, are the viewpoints of those who have successfully switched from tobacco cigarettes to e-cigarettes. While some smokers feel it’s just not the same, most can’t believe how much their health has improved.
Electronic Cigarettes Eliminate Foul Odors
The Medinas, mentioned above as owners of their own e-cigarette store,  used to tease each other about their frequent sinus issues. Now, they have an easier time breathing and whiter teeth. They’ve also eliminated the smell of smoke from their lives since e-cigarettes don’t have the same unpleasant odor as tobacco cigarettes.

And while some folks feel the switch over to e-cigarettes requires a dedication to quit smoking, the vast majority simply can’t stop talking about the positive effects of the product.  After all, they say, how can a nicotine solution with just five to 10 ingredients even remotely compare to a smoking tobacco that contains almost 600 ingredients?
eCigarettes, for sure, are here to stay. At least that’s what everyone is saying. And the staggering profits and boutique new stores are fully supporting the trend.

Skyrocketing eCigarette Sales Could Take the Tobacco Industry to New Heights

Tobacco Industry Growth
Bonnie Herzog of Wells Fargo Securities commented in an article recently that she was, “surprised to some extent” by how fast e-cigarette sales have grown. In fact, she estimates this year’s e-cigarette sales will reach approximately $1.7 billion. How does she get to that astronomical number?

Tobacco Industry Statistics

The current year-to-date sales of e-cigarettes, as of August 2013, hovered around $1 billion. The breakdown looks like this:
  • $700 million in traditional convenience store outlets
  • $500 to 625 million in online sales
Now, let’s look at some other statistics that will help you gain a more in depth look at tobacco and, therefore, the e-cigarette industry:
  • Cigarette industry sales are about $80 billion annually
  • e-Cigarettes were first sold in 2007 (i.e. it’s a newer product)
  • 30% of all heart-disease related deaths are contributed to cigarette smoking
  • Combustion of tobacco produces over 4,000 chemical compounds; e-cigarette vapors contain primarily nicotine, water, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin and flavorings.


Projection of Growth for the e-Cigarette Industry

In other words, as smoking bans in restaurants, bars and public venues continue to take effect, e-cigarette companies are moving forward to take the market share away from traditional tobacco companies. If predictions are correct, e-cigarette companies will continue to explode in growth throughout the future.

Why Are e-Cigarettes So Popular?

VIAe Starter Kit
As insider experts already believe, e-cigarettes are a safer, more effective way for traditional smokers to enjoy a nicotine buzz without the negative effects of smoke inhalation. In lieu of inhaling smoke, you inhale a vapor that contains pure nicotine.
The nicotine can be flavored to taste much like popular brands of cigarettes, too. Further, as technology develops, the e-cigarette is starting to look, and feel, more and more like a real cigarette, helping even hardcore smokers make the transition to e-cigarettes instead.
Also, while a pack of cigarettes costs $15 in Manhattan, it’s just about $1.50 for the equivalent nicotine in an e-cigarette cartridge … but without the pesky smell or ashes of smoke.
And should we mention that since nothing is actually “burning” in an e-cigarette, it’s a very popular way for smokers to get their nicotine fix while getting around wide-spread bans on smoking? Yup – you can take, and smoke, your e-cigarette numerous places where traditional tobacco cigarettes are banned.
Over the next decade, many experts predict e-cigarettes will overtake cigarette sales. When you consider cigarette sales are an $80 billion-dollar-per-year industry, you can only imagine how quickly e-cigarettes will grow!

E Cigs: How can switching help you with quitting?

By Jay Galletly

If you are a smoker, like 43 million other Americans, trying to kick the habit for some time without success, perhaps you should consider switching to e-cigarettes.  Why? Let me count the ways.

In the first place, e-cigs don’t carry with them the same stigma as traditional cigarettes.  As you know it is getting ever harder to find a place to light up as more and more places, including many bars become designated as “Smoke Free.”  E-Cigs do not come with the same restrictions as traditional cigarettes.  You can puff away most anywhere.  Since there is no lighting an e-cigarette, there is no combustion. This means that not only is there zero fire hazard, you and those around you won’t smell like an ashtray.  In fact, the vapor that is produced by an e-cig is actually pleasant smelling.


Secondly there is the expense.  Currently a pack of cigarettes in the US retails anywhere from six dollars  to more than ten dollars a pack depending on where you purchase one.  If you smoke a pack a day, this can add up to an expense of several thousand dollars per year.  Typical e-cigarette users experience a savings of thirty to forty percent by switching.  And this doesn’t even take into consideration the health consequences.

According to the American Cancer Society, the amount you spend when all the additional health-related expenses are included equates to an extra $12,775 out of your pocket if you’re smoking a pack a day.

There are also other expenses that most people do not take into account when it comes to smoking traditional cigarettes.  Such things as lighters, ashtrays, breath mints, teeth whiteners and even dry cleaning expenses all go into feeding your habit.  If you have ever dropped a lit cigarette on the carpet or inside your car, then you know that the cost to reupholster does not come cheap.  Since e-cigs do not burn, there is no added expense for any of these items. 

Some smokers are reluctant to make the switch because they are either afraid they won’t like the taste of e-cigs or because they are afraid of the expense of typical starter kits.  If this is the only thing stopping you from making the switch, check out the offer and video below from VIAe.  For as little as $7.99 you can try either their regular or menthol starter kit. 


The entry level starter kit from VIAe is quite unique.  For the price of a disposable you get from most competitors, the VIAe  starter kit includes a rechargeable battery and a cartridge with the equivalent of almost 2 packs of cigarettes.  No need to throw this one away.  VIAe’s starter kit includes a rechargeable battery, 2 cartridges, and a USB charger.  Now you’re ready to simply buy the cartridge 5 packs.  VIAe is loaded with value. 

Even better, the product will be shipped to you for no additional cost.  You also get to choose the amount of nicotine that VIAe dispenses.  For a limited time, VIAe even gives you the opportunity to save 50% on your initial purchase.

So what are you waiting for?  Check VIAe out today.

What you need in an E-Cigarette Starter Kit

The easiest way to get started with vaping, or smoking electronic cigarettes, is to purchase a starter kit. A starter kit, available from most e-cigarette companies, contains everything a user needs to start using e-cigarettes.
VIAe Starter KitVIAe Starter Kit - 2 Cartridge
First, understand the basics. Electronic cigarettes are reusable, battery operated devices. Unlike traditional cigarettes, you will need the battery (represented by the white end of a cigarette), a cartridge (represented by the beige tip or filter) and a charger (often a USB based cable device.)
Electonric Cigarette Diagram
Each cartridge contains an atomizer and the nicotine solution. When inhaled, the battery portion of the e-cigarette powers the atomizer heating coil in order to vaporize the nicotine solution. The vapor is inhaled by the user to produce the same effects as a cigarette.
For this reason, it’s important that the e-cigarette starter kit contain all the elements of the regular e-cigarette experience. Read the label on your preferred brand to ensure the starter kit has the right products for you.
Starter Kits Offer a Try-Out Before Users Fully Commit
e-Cigarette starter kits may contain a few cartridges, as well, so that users can try out the experience of smoking e-cigarettes before committing to a large financial investment. The same way a user may try a pack of cigarettes before purchasing a carton of cigarettes, the starter kit should give you an idea of what you like before you purchase more parts.
Flavors of E-Cigarettes
Keep in mind that not all e-cigarettes are created equally.  While each starter kit will contain everything needed to get started, the quality of products may differ greatly. For example, if you do not like the taste of one nicotine solution cartridge, the taste of another brand may be completely different.
Likewise, components of the e-cigarette starter kit also vary greatly by brand. The quality of the battery cartridge and how long it holds a charge may affect your vaping experience. Be sure to read the starter kit box for information on battery life before purchasing.
An e-cigarette starter kit will also be priced according to the quality of the product and extra features included. Again, the price is varied according to what’s included, so make sure to read the description carefully before purchasing.
