http://www.newstoday...ith-costcutter/ - one more retail chain joins the vaping revolution

Cheers for the link Sam
Are Tesco still continuing with the 10 motives though?

I hear they are cutting back the store's that are participating. I also heard on the grapevine that vapestick have just started a deal with costco, Thing is if vaping is going to go mainstream and be accepted, I think bricks and mortar stores are the way to go. But for that to happen I'd like to see old school distribution in place. I did a post about this some time ago here.

Tesco dont mess around.
If a products not selling up to their expectations it's deleted from thats stores ordering list. (shelf space is precious)
And that's the thing, the ordering list. Tesco would have required thousands of kits in one order to go to the distribution centre and then on to the stores. Motive 10 of course managed with that size of order but who else can?

This is why we'll not see Silver Bullets and GG's ...etc, on the supermarket shelves any time soon, The Supply and Demand wouldn't be able to cope. I like to think of the vendors we have already as modern day tobacconists, Specialist stockists for those that seek a little more than the "Bog Standard".
