Coming soon to a pack of e cigs near you!

Blu Cigs is adding a new component—RFID—to help its customers connect with each other, as well as start conversations between them. With an active RFID tag in each pack, one pack of Blu Cigs can detect the presence of another from the same manufacturer, and the packs will then light up and vibrate to indicate that someone in the vicinity also uses that brand.

Sorry for the sort of necro. I just came acrossed this today. I know no one in my my neck of the woods that uses a PV. The number of users must be well on the climb now. Does anyone know of a recent headcount? Or know how many new PV users there are whom have never smoked before. Lots of smokers around here though. I thought I would see eGos everywere by now... smoking convrits I meen.

cool and creepy both.  But the range isn't very far ... wouldn't they see the blue light from that far anyway?
