The ban is very disappointing, but the share price has not been affected all that much because it never rose as it should on all the good news.
In the past most refillable sales we through vaping shops but I cannot see the supermarkets giving up on all the disposable sales, and many of the disposable users will now want to change to refillable's so hopefully sales will not fall as much as feared.
In any case if ours are as good as people say our new refillable's should takeoff quickly.
In the meantime we are informed that established retailers are restocking at an average rate of six weeks and we know the standard first order was for a total of 130 (ten of each). This would suggest monthly sales of about 90 per shop and since we now have over 3,500 outlets in our two markets gives potential monthly sales of 315,000 that's 3,780,000 on an annual basis worth £18,000,000, with a gross margin of 60% gives a gross profit of over £10M. We've barely scratched the surface of the world market so all to play for still.
