Types of E-Cigarette Smokers
Posted by Tatiana Rodriguez
We’ve defined four types of electronic cigarette smokers. The e-cigarette has many advantages over tobacco cigarettes, and people use it for a plethora of reasons. Chances are, you fit into one of the four below categories of e-cigarette smokers. Whatever your category is, we can help you find an e-cigarette that helps fit into your life’s desires.
Types of E-Cigarette Smokers: Which type are you?
1. The vapor cigarette smoker who is looking for an alternative so they can essentially move on and quit smoking tobacco cigarettes.
*The goal of this e-cigarette smokers is to entirely quit smoking tobacco products. While e-cigarettes are not making any claims of helping accomplish this goal, many people have left testimonials claiming to do so.
2. The social smoker who usually “bums” a cigarette from others and smokes in social situations or when they are “out and about” with people who smoke tobacco cigarettes. Usually when the people they are with smoke tobacco cigarettes switch to e cigarettes, it’s not as convenient to “bum” an e-cigarette. Rather, it’s easier to have your own battery and cartridge selection so you can smoke a vapor cigarette and not have to bother anyone.
*The great thing the e-cigarette lends to the smoking niche is that they offer so many flavor options. This allows the social smoker to take part in the e-cigarette scene. Most social smokers are fans of cigars or clove cigarettes and don’t really have any loyalty to tobacco cigarettes.
3. The smoker who is looking to kick the tobacco routine completely. The goal here is to start with an electronic cigarette with a nicotine level that is comparable to the nicotine level they were accustomed to with tobacco products, and then move down several levels and eventually smoke a zero nicotine cartridge and be both nicotine and tobacco free.
*This type 3 e-cigarette smoker is trying to wean off the nicotine, little by little. The oral fixation is still there, but the goal is to satisfy this craving with a zero nicotine e-cigarette, in due time.
4. The smoker who is looking for something to smoke in addition to tobacco products. The e-cigarette is a perfect accomplice that can deliver nicotine through the vaporized cartridge anywhere, any time. This is the perfect product for someone who is an office person with limited “smoke breaks,” as the e-cigarette can be used at the comfort of one’s desk of work station.
*This type of person loves to smoke. They’ll smoke any time, any place, whenever given the opportunity. The e-cigarette is a great tool to help people satisfy a craving when they need it most.

This is a great description of which categories of smokers people really are. I hadn’t thought into the business that deep – you clearly have thought about this. Great site.
I’m definitely the person who bums cigarettes. With e-cigarettes, not so much. I don’t mind them because there is not a stigma of having a cigarette pack or lighter, or second hand smoke.
I started using ecigs to get off of cigarettes. I haven’t decided if I’ll get off of nicotine yet. I’m trying to use ecigs as cheaply as possible. Call me the “Frugal Vaper”.
Michael,
Nothing wrong with being frugal! My recommendation is to buy in bulk. Places like Bull Smoke and V2 Cigs will offer you HUGE discounts to buy in large quantities. Most brands do that, those two are just my favorite.
Cheers,
