METRO Electronic Cigarette Gains Distribution in Love's Travel Stops

Wheat Ridge, CO, December 14, 2012 – The electronic cigarette market has proven to be a climbing success for retailers around the country. Many brands are still rising while others are starting to fade out. The continued success of electronic cigarettes makes retailers certain that e-cigs are a product that needs to be stocked on the shelves. However, the multitudes of brands emerging make it difficult for retailers to choose a long-term, profitable brand. This is why METRO® Electronic Cigarette is proud to have been chosen as a primary new e-cigarette brand for Love’s® Travel Stops chain of stores.

METRO’s products launched into over two hundred and thirty Love’s stores, nationwide, this month – scheduled to be fully stocked in all stores, no later than Christmas of 2012. Products will include E-cig Designer Packs, E-cig Starter Kits, E-Cig Replacement Cartridges, One Time Use E-cigs and a 2-Way Charger.

E-valuating Electronic Cigarettes' Potential in C-Stores

NATIONAL REPORT -- The electronic cigarette (eCig) has caught the tobacco industry by storm, and was made even more appealing to retailers in late April when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it would regulate it as a tobacco product and not under stricter rules for drug-delivery devices. But is it a good fit for convenience stores? 

...Smaller, less-expensive kits are also attracting some convenience retailers. "In the past, we had the $100-plus kits that basically sat there," explained Jon Fleck, merchandising manager for Cenex Zip Trip. "We are now promoting the smaller starter kits -- below $20 -- and refills that sell off of wire racks at the counter."

...At Maverik Inc., "it took a long time to find the right manufacturer," according to Jeff Arnold, category manager. But that turned out to be Nicotek's METRO electronic cigarette brand because it provided the best of all worlds -- a good starter kit in the $50 to $60 range, refills and a disposable option for $9.99.

Inside Industry News - Real Technology Insight

So today for review I’ve got something very different, it’s a starter and Platinum kit from a company called Nicotek. It includes pretty much everything you need to get started on your way to breaking the habit without the constant frustration of wanting one. You’ll still be smoking but it’s not smoke it’s actually vapor which is safer for you and everyone around you obviously. At the same time you can control the nicotine % so that you can slowly but surely ease your way out of the habit. No more second hand smoke and you take care of the oral fixation and your nicotine fix as well. I’ll be honest it’s not the same as a real cigarette, but it’s better and I think it’s certainly worth a try if you’re not ready or even willing to totally quit...

Metro was kind enough to send me over the Starter Kit, Platinum Kit, some promo materials and some extra different flavored cartomizers. Cartomizers are where the nicotine is and where the atomizer is. The atomizer heats up and produces the vapor which you inhale...

Guide to Vaping

I’m now a long time vaper and I’ve moved on from using stick type batteries like I, along with many others just starting out have used. Being that the stick type battery (like the Metro) isn’t my cup of tea, I had to really put this thing to the test to give it that GuideToVaping approval.

The Urban Cowboy Review

You might have seen past posts I had written on my quit smoking series with electronic cigarettes. If not, I highly recommend you do. It has been a while since I have posted something new…mostly because my efforts to “quit smoking electronic cigarette” have been unsuccessful…until now.

I was smoking a little over a pack a day, coughing on a regular basis, and was considering Chantix or something similar to help me kick the habit.

I was recently contacted by a new e-cigarette brand, Nicotek. I hadn’t heard of them, so I was excited when they offered to send me their all-in-one Metro Platinum Kit, and their Metro Menthol Starter Kit to try out...

Metro Electronic Cigarette is one of the latest brands. Level up the vaping sensation with their discounted electronic cigarette starter kits. When you want to try something new, you might want to learn more about this brand by reading this electronic cigarette review.

Are you looking for a “Quit Kit”? A few of the tools that typically would be provided to you are nicotine patches, a planner, stress removal music, and access to a support group. Since tobacco products contain nicotine, which is addictive, it is very difficult to stop smoking. You might have tried to quit before, but it didn’t work out.

Now, with electronic cigarettes, you can get the nicotine fix, if that is what you are looking for, or the options to gradually reduce or totally stop your nicotine intake...
