No .. they are an important first step for newcomers to vaping and the fact that they look like a cigarette is important to a lot of them.

Also they are easy to operate ... screw on carto and vape ... but I also think that vendors should make newcomers aware of the advantages of moving on to the next stage eg: manual battery and refillable, rebuildable clearos.

I agree in principle, but do you really think that the tatty corner shop/newsagent are interested in educating a vaper, or just making money from continuous resale of expensive tat?

I think they should continue, but not look like a cig.

I see your point about corner shops charon ... I was thinking more of the dedicated vaping shop or market stall owners .... it would be in their interest to educate the novice and obtain future business with more advanced mods and atties etc.

Okey dokey, though folks of course can add their views to a poll My views are that there is no way that cigalikes should be discontinued. However, IMO, they should be sold & marketed as an introduction to vaping, at a low price & without any of the ridiculous false claims about how many e-cigs a carto/tip is equivalent to.

Does anyone think cigalikes put vaping in general in a bad light in the fight for our vaping rights . after all cosmetically it is to mimic a cigarette.

My intro to e cigs was some chap in a mall in Wycombe who tried to sell me a cigalike. I didn't like that it looked like a cigarette and asked if he had ones like I saw in Donnie Brasko. The guy in a car had a blue one. He said no, I didn't buy anything from him. The fact they look like cigarettes can actually put a lot of people off, well it did that to me.
I don't care if they are still around or not, doesn't bother me as long as people have easy access to knowledge that there are far superior alternatives out there.

It's how I started because I thought it was the least ostentacious way to go and I wasn't sure it would work. I didn't go supermarket because of the cost (same as cigarettes and more than rollies) and bought an Innokin AIO PCC which is a really nice little kit and worked a treat but I soon found that the faff of refilling the carts was driving me nuts which is how I eventually stumbled across AAEC and learned more. Unless advertising rules are changed, the cig-a-likes are an obvious first step and to ban them would leave nothing but NRT.

When I bought my first e-cig over 5 years ago, there was no choice apart from a super-mini ciagalike or a longer cigalike. I'll give you 2 guesses which I went for I may be slaughtered for this, but I care more about getting folks to convert to vaping - even more than the fight for our rights. I know that to many of you that sounds so wrong, but the more folks that do take up vaping - whether the e-cig they use looks like a real cig or not, the more folks we have on our side
