What he did is nontheless impressive. You sound a bit negative in your last sentence, but getting a good business going is about finding the 'gap in the market' and knowing how to fill it. He did this, so where he is from does not really matter, does it?

Not meaning to be negative or disparaging at all, I admire him and he deserves it all. Vaping seems like a totally over saturated market, was just a little surprised.

  > Vaping seems like a totally over saturated market It is, but I think that's where the "gap" presented itself. It's crazy how many ejuice brands, varieties, and flavors there are. I'm just surprised no one has been successful with a "flavor of the week" style "club" until now. It's almost impossible to navigate the ejuice landscape on your own.

    Cigarette smokers tend to always stay with one brand, same with Swedish snuss. Seems weird that vapers would want tons of different flavors?

      I don't know about smoking / snuss, but does one brand == one flavour? Or is it like a "Doritos" situation where you have x different flavours of the same brand?

      If you use the same juice frequently, over time that flavor will diminish. This is known as "vape tongue" in some communities. When I vaped after kicking cigarettes I had 2-3 different flavors I would rotate to mitigate this.

  There is always room for improvement in everything. I like to think about something Leonard Nimoy said about a chance meeting he had with JFK that encouraged him to stick with his goal of becoming a professional actor: In the 1950s, Nimoy was struggling in Los Angeles with a wife and two kids, he said in his speech. He spent his days in auditions and his nights driving a taxi for steady income. One night he picked up Kennedy, who was a Massachusetts senator at the time, at the Bel Air Hotel. He said: We chatted about careers … politics and show business, and we agreed that both had a lot in common. Maybe too much in common. He said, "Lots of competition in your business, just like in mine." And then he gave me this: "Just remember there's always room for one more good one." Words to live by, and I did. https://www.businessinsider.com/leonard-nimoy-bu-convocation-speech-on-jfk-2015-2 https://www.businessinsider.com/leonard-nimoy-bu-convocation...
