They own the crappy ones the gas stations sell. Basically disposable, and cigarette shaped
Most vapers are using custom modular equipment and juice either in vape stores, or online. Big tobacco may own some, but far from all of that market. Compared to basically dominating the combusting tobacco market

Crappy? Juul and blu are how ecigs went mainstream. No one but faggots and white trash were into the big gay 200W "mods" and tanks.
Perhaps disposable value brand could be more precise. Juul has to be plugged into a a flimsy USB adaptor thingy and then into the wall. And you have to buy these cartridges that are absurdly expensive comparesd to the cost of these "faggy" ones that you talk of. I agree that the way some people use them is incredibly faggy blowing huge clouds, as opposed to consuming the nicotine. But they are high quality long last devices compared to cheap disposable ones, which is crap in my book.
I only use mine for distillate, but its does a better job, can charge via USB cable, and has removable 18650 batteries that are compatible with other devices I use.
In my area juul and blu are for the poor, because they cost way more over time, while being of lower quality.

So they own 35 percent of a vaping company, as opposed to 100 percent of their own cigarette company? What are their profits from before ecigs were invented compared to their profits today of their ecig investments and cigarette market combined?
