This is not marketed to an adult unless the said adult has never grown up and anyone who defends this sort of packaging shame on them

What age kids are we on about, a small child should not be near an eliquid but as i have said before in here the possibility of an accident increases with packages like this.
I know a few teenagers who vape (daughters friends) and a bottle of fanta is the opposite to what they want to be vaping, to appeal to them it would need some semi naked chick on it with the tag line of big arse clouds bro and cheap too!
I can see just from this thread how it could be used to harm "vaping" and i think as already said the best way foward would be plain white bottles
 
I don't think they are actually selling it in that can, are they? It's just the logo on the dripper bottle that is the problem.

The EU's opposition to vaping is based on children getting hold of products but equally they do not like at all the idea of non smokers taking up vaping or the next generation seeing it as a lifestyle this sort of packaging is going to help lead to stricter regulations maybe even a ban when the TPD is revisited in 2019

The packaging is outrageous why don't you go through the whole thread and look at reactions to comments you will notice not one person has liked a thing you have written nobody agrees with you because you are talking a load rubbish.

Why do you feel the need to single out and quash opinion?

I am not talking rubbish at all. What marketing experience do you have? What can you tell me about the purchasing habits of certain demographic sections of the populous?

The single biggest purchasers of 'alcopops' are middle aged married women. That is based on 20 years in the licensed trade and what the marketing reps tell me and force me to market their at. But if I believe the gutter press they are aimed solely at the 15 - 25 year old market and should be banned. The younger market don't go for alcopops as they are too expensive, they are more likely to be drinking pints and house doubles. Fantasi ejuice is a premium product with a premium price tag, they are not going to aim it at the demographic with the least disposable income. My educated guess is that the people marketing Fantasi in the UK are aiming it at middle class 30/40 somethings. Kids on the other hand will be looking at the brands like 88 Vape, KiK in places like Poundland and B&M Bargains. With 88 Vape I can get sweetie based flavours @ £8 for 60ml from any corner shop, with Fantasi that is going to cost me £20 and then only from specialist vendors. Is Fantasi really marketed at kids? Based on my experience of marketing overpriced adult products I am going to have to say no.

I could not care less if a single person agrees with me or not. I will stand by what I have said. Education about vaping products should start with parents, not vaping manufacturers or the government and Fantasi Ejuice is being marketed at adults with more money than sense.

When I was a kid I smoked Lambert & Butler or Berkley, but my Dad smoked Bensons. Why was that?
 
It's a Fanta shaped bottle (albeit smaller) with a Fanta type label. With or with out a drip top it looks like a drink that kids will likely pick up & take a swig. Marketing/labelling adult products to look like soft drinks, sweets etc is out of order.
