1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Product
Easy Pull Vapors is a proud distributor of "FLUID" e-hookahs. In the company's travels the creators of FLUID smoked hookahs everywhere and decided to bring back from the other side of the world the best tasting shisha electronic disposable hookah sticks available in the United States. As a distributor, Easy Pull Vapors pride our self on being the smoothest, great tasting, flavorful, and diverse Electronic Hookah available in the market today.
1.2 Customers
The main target market for Easy Pull Vapors is anyone that has been exposed to anything that has to do with vapors whether cigarette smokers, cigar smokers, traditional hookah smokers, club heads, restaurant and lounge owners or people that just want to look cool. People exposed to these entities like to have smooth, laid back, fun, social atmosphere with a relaxed feel. FLUID hookahs set the tone for these social settings by creating conversations through curiosity and cool flavored vapors. Traditional tobacco smokers can appeal to the same affects of a cigarette without the harmful affects of nicotine and enjoy their vapors.
1.3 What Drives Us
Time is something we all wish we could buy, or find a way to get more off. Fluid E Hookahs does exactly that. Instead of going through the entire process of a hookah smoking session using pipes, coal, and a bong why not reach into your pocket pull out a disposable hookah and start smoking instantly. The electronic cigarette or hookah industry has become a booming business and we want to be at the top of that market.
NO LIGHTERS, NO COALS, NO NICOTINE, NO TAR, NO WORK.

3. MARKET RESEARCH
3.1 Industry
The electronic cigarette (e-cig) industry has been the new underground growing endeavor against the tobacco industry. There really is now such thing as an electronic hookah; it is just an e-cig. Electronic hookah is a marketing strategy that substitutes the focus of using e-cigs as way of stopping people from smoking cigarettes to a way of using is it as a fun, new cultural approach in a social settings with use of many fun flavors and production of vapors. You can also smoke this product in social settings indoor because it is water vapor and not tobacco and will not stain someones clothes or leave a smokey atmosphere.
E-cigs have been established since 2006, but it was not until 2008 that the awareness was recognized. In 2008 electionic cigarettes started as a 20 million dollar industry with tremendous growth and has been projected by 2013 to be a 1 billion dollar industry.
3.2 Customers
Our main target market consists of young adults (age 18-30) and Older adults (age 35-50) with an income of $35,000 to $80,000. Our target market has to be interested in smoking, being in a fun atmosphere, or exposed to any sort of vapors.
To capitalize on this target market even more we will be targeting owners of social settings (restaurants, bars, clubs, etc.) and sell product to them wholesale for customers that want to smoke with family, friends, or significant other. This also includes store owners who sell or distribute cigarettes or any other form of tobacco use.

3.4 Competitive Advantage
Easy Pull Vapors over other competitors are:
FlUID E-hookahs are water based and ensure a premium taste on any of the many flavors available
Approx. 500 puffs per E-hookah
Other E-hookah companies require you to press a button to perform use. This actually burns the vapor more creating the loss of additonal puffs and studies have shown to burn throat upon each puff. There is no button pressing necessary
We also have cigar hookahs that look like traditional cohibas with a cohiba taste. Other companies do not have cigar hookahs
Contains only 1.8% or 18mg of Nicotine
3.5 Regulations
New Jersey law restricts the use of e-cigarettes in workplaces and other indoor public places, and prohibits the sale of e-cigarettes to minors
