a

Average price per unit; 1 unit is equal to 1 rechargeable or 1 disposable e-cigarette, 1 pack of 5 prefilled cartridges, or 1 bottle of e-liquid.

b

AMPC is the average monthly percentage change, or the average percentage change per 4-week period. For rechargeables, disposables, and prefilled cartridges, calculations included all periods from 2012 through 2016 (n = 65). For e-liquids, calculations included all periods from 2014 through 2016 with non-zero sales.

c

Indicates significant change (α = .05).

d

No e-liquid sales were reported in the data until mid-2013. Percentage change reflects change from 2014 to 2016.
