Electronic Cigarettes International Group Launches VIP Kiosk In South Africa

GOLDEN, Colo., Aug. 17, 2016

"VIP Premium Vaping & E-Liquids has opened its first dedicated 'Blending Kiosk' located in the Mall @ Reds shopping center," stated Robert Horn, ECIG's Business Development Manager for VIP South Africa. "We are excited to be bringing a whole new vaping experience to the Mall @ Reds.  'Vaping' has become increasingly popular, and we are keen to make sure that those users are getting the best experience from their e-cigarettes and that they are using a trusted company that adheres to UK safety standards. The blending kiosk experience is the first of its kind in South Africa and one that we hope to take around the country."

The VIP brand is one of the most established names in the UK electronic cigarette market. Launched in 2009 and now part of the Electronic Cigarettes International Group, the company has been at the forefront of the e-cigarette market helping replace over 300 million tobacco cigarettes with the VIP E-Cig. VIP's ingredients and flavorings are exclusively blended in the UK for the VIP brand and will be available to buy from the 'Blending Kiosk' to guarantee quality.

The opening comes following the announcement from the Public Health England Report which estimates e-cigarettes are 95% less harmful to health than a normal cigarette and the recently introduced regulation for the EC, TPD (Tobacco Product Directive) whereby products have to be compliant with the regulation by May 2017.

"This expansion is part of our overall strategy to establish VIP as the leading global brand for premium electronic cigarette products," stated Dan O'Neill, ECIG's CEO.  "This kiosk is our first launch in South Africa and we are very excited to enter this new international market."
