Ecigs have become hotter and hotter in an unexpected speed while not much people know what indeed accelerates it."The e-cigarette industry, the media, and the vaping community have promoted the notion that e-cigarettes are an effective device for quitting smoking, yet what we're seeing is that there are very few people searching for information about that," said the study's senior author, Rebecca S. Williams. She is a researcher at the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention.
As the popularity of e-cigarettes has surged over the past 10 years, doctors and health experts have scrambled to understand the habits and motivation of the people using the products. Researchers from the University of North Carolina center and San Diego State University analyzed Google search trends related to electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) between 2009 and 2014.They found the number of ENDS-related searches surged from 1,545,000 in 2010 to 8,498,000 searches in 2014. The investigation also revealed a dramatic increase in the use of search terms like "vape" and "vaping."Meanwhile, searches related to quitting smoking or vaping health are on the decline, the study showed. Only 3 percent of all ENDS searches in 2013 and 2 percent of searches in 2014 included terms related to the risks or health effects of vaping with e-cigarettes.Do you know what are the difference between different versions or sizes of ecigs?
At the same time,V2, a brand of electronic cigarette and vaporizer products, announced the results of a commissioned study examining e-cigarette users’ shopping habits when buying aftermarket e-cigarette products, including accessories and e-liquids. For the survey, 300 adult “vapers” across the U.S. were polled between May 11-12, 2016.When respondents were asked to pick which types of accessories they had previously purchased, the most common answers chosen were e-liquid and batteries, with 71% and 59%, respectively. Another 54% selected e-liquid cartridges, 49% said they had bought a tank, and 48% said they had purchased a charger. Cases were chosen by 31% of those surveyed, with mods and drip tips as the least common choices, at 28% and 27%.
In addition to e-liquid, there is real revenue potential in sales of component parts and accessories, like batteries or carrying cases. Post-market maintenance of e-vapor devices offers a sizable retail opportunity with the markup on accessories typically 200 to 400 percent. The recurring sales potential adds up to a very profitable picture for any retailer who can attract loyal vapers. It’s very reminiscent of the mobile phone category, in fact – where device adoption has reached an all-time high and retailers are integrating more and more accessories and component parts at store locations to drive revenue growth post-purchase.”
When respondents were asked where they most frequently bought e-cigarette components or accessories, “Tobacco/Smoke Shop” was the most frequent response with 37%. Some 27% of those polled said they made these purchases primarily at a “Dedicated Vape Shop,” and 26% chose “Online.” Only 8% said they bought these products at a “Convenience Store,” while just 2% chose “Supermarket” as their main point of purchase.“This is clearly still an untapped market for retailers – especially c-store retailers – as most aftermarket products are sold in smoke or vape shops,” added Blair. “These retailers are taking advantage of the opportunity, with more than 8,500 vape shops, for instance, having been created since 2008. Savvy c-store retailers should see this growth as a sign of the revenue and market potential.”
As we can see,the researchers suggested their findings could shed some light on the habits and forces driving people to use e-cigarettes. They added that Google searches may provide important clues that could help lawmakers and health officials formulate public health policy in the future.Besides, those people who buy ecigs online ten to purchase more parts or accessaries so in this way ,we can see it is an unpredictable market!
