There's much to consider when choosing your e cig. Your primary concerns will probably be price, ease of use, and functionality. But with most devices available in more than one shade, what does your colour choice say about you?
Many people have devoted a great deal of time to studying colour, how we perceive it, and the messages the various colours communicate.
Aristotle developed the first known theory of colour. He believed that colours were sent from the gods and evolved from lightness and darkness. He proffered that all colours were related to the four elements - water, air, earth, and fire. Aristotle's beliefs were widely held for more than 2,000 years - until Isaac Newton came along. Newton found that light was the source of the colours we see and that there are seven colours in the visual spectrum.
These days, research into colour spans numerous scientific and artistic fields, including colour psychology. This attempts to characterise the effects of colour on human actions and emotions. Hence the burning question we're asking here.
According to experts in colour theory, here's what the colour of your e cig might suggest about your personality.
Black
If you favour black hardware, experts say that you're intuitive and you like to be in control. You're conventional, private, articulate, and sometimes a little dramatic.
Others may perceive you to be serious, but you feel it's important to get things right. You can speak with authority, but you often keep your opinions to yourself. You like to exude an air of mystery, as this helps to conceal your insecurities.
Worth a look:
Grey
All shades of grey suggest that you're a reliable sort who likes to keep the peace. You may be a little cautious, and you're great at compromising.
You're a composed individual whom others perceive as polished and diplomatic. People trust you and like your tendency to keep yourself to yourself. You're trustworthy, stable, fair, and objective.

Red
Red is the colour of assertiveness, impulsiveness, and optimism. If red is your preferred colour when choosing your e cigs, you're a passionate person with plenty of energy - and everyone knows about it when you enter a room. You're prone to saying exactly what you think, you're a leader, and your enthusiasm is infectious.

Pink
Yes, there are pink e cigs. And if you own one, you're an easy-going and approachable character that sees the positives in every situation.
You're clever and witty. Better still, you tend to sparkle in social situations. But you crave harmony, and you're compassionate.
Your friendships tend to be long-lasting, and your relationship with your vaping hardware would certainly be improved by a generous helping of pink.
Worth a look:
Orange
Ok, I need to point out that orange vape kits are in relatively short supply, but they are available.
If you've chosen one or you'd love to own one, you're undoubtedly a party animal that lives in the moment.
You're an inspiring individual and a problem-solver who tends to be impulsive.
You never fold under pressure, and you take all of life's hits in your stride. You might have to if you're looking for orange vaping hardware!

Your e cig will also stand out if it's purple, and there are several to choose from.

Yellow
If yellow is your favourite colour, you could be a shy person, but also a reliable friend.
You can be impulsive, and you're an optimist.
Unfortunately, your optimism could be misplaced if you're looking for a yellow vape, as they're rare.
It's likely that you prefer to socialise with small groups of close friends rather than with larger, less connected groups. You're imaginative, and you may be considered intellectual.
Worth a look:
Intermediate - You'll struggle to find one!
Advanced - No luck here
Don't have a favourite colour?
You're not alone. Many people are in your situation, one that can make life easier or lead to chronic indecisiveness.
You're in the fortunate position of being able to choose any device without the risk of it offending your sense of style.
Why not make a statement with a rainbow e cig, a patterned device or something resplendent in gold? You can choose an e cig in almost any colour (except yellow) as it turns out!
Alternatively, invest in several devices, each finished in a different colour. You'll then always benefit from a device that complements the way you feel.
