We are always looking for ways to exceed our customers' expectations and believe our new GreenStix Dynamic King Disposable will its soft tip and unique ergonomic package design will do just that."

The GreenStix brand was developed by Victory Electronic Cigarettes exclusively for Mapco Express in 2013. The original e-cigarette was the GreenStix 500 Puff Disposable e-cig in tobacco and menthol flavors, the company noted.

"Mapco is a leader in the convenience store industry and we are extremely fortunate to be associated with such a fine organization,” said Brent Willis, chairman and CEO of Victory Electronic Cigarettes. “The new Dynamic King Disposable will enhance awareness for Mapco's GreenStix brand and will reinforce the superior quality and value that Mapco represents.
