Traditional tobacco providers actually dominate e-cig market share in the US under different brand names.
The most popular e cig brands blu and vise, are owned by Reynolds tobacco and imperial tobacco. Markten is owned by Altria, aka Philip Morris.
If anything I'd be more skeptical of pro ecig articles given big tobaccos involvement.

- snuxoll 11y agoWhat you find at Walgreens or convenience stores is not what I would call the "most popular". Having been around a large number of analog cigarette converts at my previous employer absolutely none of them would touch any of those with a ten foot pole, they weren't "cloud chasers" either, they used vape-pen devices sold by a local B&M shop. I don't have a large enough sample set, but I've never actually met anyone in person that vapes that uses a cig-alike sold by the big tobacco companies.
- Amezarak 11y agoI was measuring most popular by the reported sales and market share. I don't know what other definition could apply. I too keep hearing, mostly on the internet, that nobody uses them, but numbers are numbers.
