Not all Mall Vendors are guilty of the notorious price hike but most are just in it for profit not passion and there in lies the difference.

Aside from all that, there’s the tobacco factor. Nicotine is mostly what you hear about, but there’s other stuff in cigarettes that your body is used to getting on a regular basis (tobacco alkaloids that are MAOIs, for example). You will miss those! So even if you get enough nicotine from your ecig and are doing okay with the ritual of it, there’s a detox period that can be very tough to get through. 

The key thing for me was convincing myself that the ecig was giving me everything I needed. I tried to think of it like I’d switched to a weaker, less satisfying brand of cigarettes. Once I adjusted, it was okay. I had added complications of experiencing depression in the first few months, though, so I also supplemented my ecig use with an occasional swedish snus (it’s the safest form of tobacco). That worked well to help even me out. And since I only used a snus every once in a while when I felt my worst, I never developed any dependency on it. You might want to give that a try too if you can’t let go of the smokes.

Hope some of that helps you.

They aren’t, however, which shows who’s really running the show.
