User subjectivity

For many people, using e-cigarettes is an alternative to regular cigarettes. Because with e-cigarettes, users do not need to carry a lighter around, e-cigarettes do not produce smoke but create a stream of vapor that tastes and feels like real cigarettes.

The appeal of e-cigarettes is also due to the fruity essential oil flavors such as grape, orange, apple, strawberry, etc., which make many users feel that they are “natural” and safe. However, the origin of these essential oils is not guaranteed, and e-cigarette shops do not have any documents to prove it.
