Look write what you want but i won't be replying or even mentioning any posts you put on this thread your view to the whole topic repulses me and not interested in anything else you type it's not worth the effort of reading it.

You are just coming across as a petulant child. Rather than getting all stampy footed about it present some evidence that proves me wrong. I am just basing my view on what I know to be a fact about marketing this type of product in the real world. All you are doing is presenting an emotive argument based on the views of others.

If I am wrong then I am wrong, so prove me wrong without getting insulting because I disagree with you.
 
Handbags away ladies. @Speedwell68 if a kid came across either of those they're less likely to drink it than a fuckin FANTA shaped bottle with soft drink style labelling.
Now pull your neck in before I let @Timwis lose ;)
 
The point is, drinks come in Soda bottles, like shown in the OP. Ejuice should not be sold in soda bottles. I'm not even sure that Fantasi juice is sold in those bottles, (looks like an ebay fake to me, but I am prepared to stand corrected) if it is, then the manufacturer is being totally irresponsible.

No drinks are ever sold in dripper bottles. Nobody should be drinking from a dripper bottle. What kind of drink comes with a pipette?! And they have child-proof caps. So dripper bottles should not be an issue at all.

What does that label say on it? The biggest word......? And with a child proof cap too.

That post was just asking about the "marketing to adults" issue. Are adults attracted by cartoon vampires wearing clown makeup?

The discussion had diverged from simply talking about the soda bottle, to talking about packaging and marketing in general. It seems like we are destined to have all our juice sold in plain white packaging, as nobody knows where the line should be drawn.

But as to the child proof cap issue, dripper bottles also have child proof caps, so any argument about child proof caps should also apply to dripper bottles, should it not?

I did mean to make it into one post, see my next post straight after.

Plain bottles are fine though, I have DIY'ed for a long time so like flavours for what they are, flavours. I doubt adults are attracted to cartoon vampires wearing clown makeup though I agree.

Child proof caps are a bit of a bugger. When I was a kid, I was the only one who could open my nans heart pills for her in the house lol.

Do what you like. I won't 'pull my neck in'. That fanta shaped bottle isn't actually available for sale in the UK, so the whole debate is moot anyway.

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?

So far this makes the most sense I've read in this entire thread.
When you're young with little disposable income you get what's cheap regardless of which packaging you like, this is why iPhone or i anything clones sell by the bucketload, I'll bet the market for genuine i anything is middle aged middle to upper class despite everyone having you believe it's the pre teens and teens.
Cigarettes, what did I smoke when I started?
Superkings!
Cheap and long and more value for money.
When I got a bit older, because I was earning money to buy them?
JPS, because they were cool and the aforementioned motor racing ads.
Going back to the OP though, it's all Facebook style bandwagon rah rah rah noise when in reality it's one picture posted online with no evidence whatsoever that this product exists for retail!
