THE OPPORTUNITY - VAPORIZERS
“During the Gold Rush, most gold miners lost
money, but people who sold them picks,
shovels, tents and blue-jeans (Levi Strauss)
made a nice profit.”
Peter Lynch
THEOPPORTUNITY–MARIJUANALEGALIZATION
Cannabis (AKA) Marijuana
Marijuana is the third most popular recreational drug in America (behind only alcohol and tobacco), and has been used by
nearly 100 million Americans. According to government surveys, some 25 million Americans have smoked marijuana in the
past year, and more than 14 million do so regularly despite harsh laws against its use.
Legalization and Decriminalization Trend
Following the global economic crisis of 2008 a renewed effort was made by the marijuana lobby for both decriminalization of
the herb as well as legalization. This push was ultimately successful as the prospect of taxing marijuana like alcohol or tobacco
represented an inflection point in the conversation for the merits of legalization. This culminated in marijuana being fully
decriminalized and even legalized for adults 21 and up in the states of Colorado (Amendment 64) and Washington (Initiative
502). Colorado and Washington represent only the start of this trend. On January 16th, 2014, cannabis was legalized in five
more states under federal law. These states are the following: Hawaii, Kansas, Alaska, Michigan, and Rhode Island. On a
Federal level, there have been important developments as well. Most recently US Attorney General Eric Holder in a speech to
the House of Delegates indicated that he had mandated a review and modification of all Justice Department policies relating
to the sentencing of non-violent drug offenders.

THEOPPORTUNITY–PICK&SHOVELBUSINESSMODEL
mCig, Inc. – A “Pick and Shovel” Marijuana Company
mCig operates a simple business model: We develop cutting edge vaporizers for the recreational and medicinal marijuana
community at disruptive price points. In addition to being disruptive on price, we also believe in the “Open-Source” model
allowing our customers to heat up the plant material of their choice, as opposed pre-packaging our vaporizers with plant
material.
First Mover Advantage Where it Counts
A “first mover” advantage only matters when you are focused on delivering unique customer experiences and building brand
affinity. Most marijuana companies have chosen to grow marijuana a highly commoditized and competitive plant. We chose
to develop and incubate brands that will resonate within the community and allow us to generate high volume, recurring
sales.
We operate two such brands:
Pick and Shovel Business Model
Founded in 2000, Vapolution is a leading producer of home-use herbal vaporizers
such as the Vapolution 2.0. The Vapolution is sold in over 11 Countries, and 20
distribution points. Cumulative revenues of over $2 million since founding without
spending any capital on marketing. www.vapolution.com
Founded in 2013, mCig is a leading producer of portable herbal vaporizers such as
the mCig 2.0 – a $10 purpose built herbal vaporizer launched in January 2014 that
has generated sales in over 20 countries and to over 20,000 satisfied customers
worldwide. www.mCig.org

mCig and VitaCig Brand Ambassadors Bam Margera and Rick Ross Respective Announcements
Draw over 27,000 likes and shares on Facebook.
CORPORATEUPDATE–JULY2014
One Month – Two World Famous Brand Ambassadors!
•The month of June 2014 saw mCig and VitaCig achieve continued
operational success on nearly every metric. Order fulfillment and
inventory management issues have been completely resolved.
90% of orders are shipped to customers and WDR’s within 24
hours or less and customers as far as Spain and United Kingdom
are reporting delivery within 4-5 days of orders being placed. The
company is now operating with sufficient inventory (roughly 30
days) based on current sales trends and is fulfilling online and
WDR orders from two fulfillment centers in the US East coast.
•The month of June saw the company officially cross 20,000
individual customers from over 25 countries around the world.
mCig customers are re-ordering at a rate of 5% while VitaCig
customers are re-ordering at a rate of nearly 15%.
•The results of our national media campaign are beginning to bear
fruit. Both unique visits, and web hits have increased in June from
May while data mining has shown a clear increase in orders from
locations near physical billboards. This data is important as the
company prepares to expand its campaign in the future.
•Annual Report and Form 10-K. The company anticipates filing its
fiscal year-end (May 30) Annual Report and Form 10-K with the
SEC by the end of July 2014.
Business Update
Rick Ross Announcing his Joint Venture with mCig and VitaCig
New Adoption Records Set on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook
The month of June saw social-media interaction records for both
mCig and VitaCig on the three leading networks: Instagram,
Twitter, Facebook. The company is now measuring 10+ uploads per
day on these networks compared to 100 total uploads in the
previous month. It is becoming clear that mCig and VitaCig
products are very social leading friends to share in these
experiences together. This appears to be driving social-media
uploads which in turn helps drive the continued adoption of our
products.
The month of June 2014 saw mCig and VitaCig achieve global
recognition with the addition of two brand ambassadors to the
team: Bam Margera and Rick Ross. Margera, a world-famous
stuntman and skateboarder agreed to become a brand
ambassador after using the VitaCig to help quit traditional nicotine
cigarettes. Ross, one of the world’s most famous rappers and
known supporter of cannabis, agreed to become a brand
ambassador and joint venture partner producing his own version
of the mCig codenamed “mastermind”. Between the two of them,
Ross and Margera have over 10 million Facebook and twitter fans
and cater to the millennial demographic we are targeting.
THE OPPORTUNITY – ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES (ECIGS)
THEOPPORTUNITY–ELECTRONICCIGARETTES
Electronic Cigarettes (eCigs)
eCigs are electronic devices comprised of a small lithium-ion battery and an atomizer that vaporize a nicotine liquid. As nothing
is being burned, the result is a clean delivery of nicotine without the negative effects of tar, smoke, or second hand smoke.
mCig, Inc. operates within the eCig industry by leveraging mobile vaporization technology for innovative new applications.
What Goldman Sachs Says: (From Report Entitled: Top Disruptive Technologies August 2013)
Electronic Cigarettes – (eCigs)
Mergers and Acquisitions in the eCig Space
Date Suitor Company Acquired Transaction Value Source

4/25/2012 Lorillard Inc. (NYSE: LO) Blu Ecigs, Inc. $135,000,000 Wall Street Journal
THEOPPORTUNITY–ELECTRONICCIGARETTES-VITACIG
Taking the same innovative approach we applied to the marijuana industry, management decided to avoid direct competition
with the ultra-competitive and highly regulated nicotine-based eCig industry. Instead, we developed a niche product by
embracing the potential that eCig technology (the ability to easily vaporize pre-packaged liquids from a pocket-sized device)
brings to medical delivery applications. VitaCig was officially launched on April 15, 2014 with three initial flavors. Sales achieved
to -date are markedly higher than over the same period for mCig products.
VitaCig – 100% Owned Subsidiary
As far as we know, there does not exist a product comparable to Vitacig on the market. We believe the Vitacig will cannibalize
both the existing eCig market as well as the e-Hookah markets by providing a superior, enjoyable experience without the
nicotine or overly sweet flavors. This product will appeal to a wide market including: Smokers looking to quite, Smokers
looking to reduce nicotine consumption, non-smokers.
VitaCig – eCig as Medical Delivery Devices
• Disposable
• 500 Puffs
• Shiny Metallic Colors
• Every Vitacig contains a base of: Vitamins A,
B, C, E and CoQ10 (Ubidcarenone)
• Refresh – Mint + Peppermint Flavor and
Eucalyptol
• Relax - Blueberry and Black Currant flavor
+ B-myrcene
• Energize – Orange + Grapefruit flavor +
Limonene.
• VitaCig Launched on April 15, 2014
• Sales velocity nearly 2x that of mCig. Several days
in June saw VitaCig sales exceeding mCig sales.
• FDA Regulation Proposals on eCigs appear to
exclude nicotine-free devices such as the VitaCig.
• Nutritional labeling backed by independent testing
unveiled in June to be included in all new VitaCig
packaging going forward.
• VitaCig repeat customer order rate of nearly 15% in
just 80 days of operation.
• A Forbes Celebrity 100 member personally ordered
VitaCigs in June 2014.
• Two new flavors codename: “Calm” and “Youth” to
be released in Aug. targeting stress and skincare.
• VitaCig, Inc. S1 Filed with the SEC on 4/20/2014.
Revised S1 was filed on 6/19/2014. Second round
of comments received on 7/2/2014. Number of
comments received down significantly. Revised S1
to be filed by 7/20/2014.
VitaCig – Milestones Achieved to Date
THEOPPORTUNITY–ELECTRONICCIGARETTES-LIQCIG
As with VitaCig where management recognized the potential for mobile vaporization technology in medical delivery
applications, the idea for LiqCig was developed internally towards the end of 2013. Before proceeding, Management engaged a
team of third party scientists to test both the efficacy and technical process that would result in the delivery of alcoholic vapor.
After being convinced of the technical merits and scientific efficacy this project was advanced. Unlike with mCig, Vapolution, or
VitaCig, LiqCig will be incubated for a longer period of time with the ultimate objective of retailing LiqCig’s with licensed well-
known alcoholic brands. Management believes this business strategy will result in higher margin profitability over the long-
term and has greater potential to disrupt the $1.3 Trillion Alcoholic Beverage Industry. In June, testing of the LiqCig prototype
was initiated.
LiqCig, Inc. – 100% Owned Subsidiary
LiqCig, Inc. – eCig Technology Disrupting Recreational Alcohol Consumption
• Calorie-Free Alcoholic Consumption

MCIG – THE PATH TO A POTENTIAL UPLISTING
MCIG–THEPATHTOAPOTENTIALUPLISTING
mCig, Inc. (OTCQB: MCIG) currently trades on the OTC QB Exchange. The OTC QB is regulated by FINRA and the SEC however
there are no financial listing requirements. As a result, companies trading on the OTC QB are often perceived as inferior within
the investment community and for the most part do not receive institutional investment from the likes of Mutual Funds,
Pension Funds, Hedge Funds, and Insurance Companies. While mCig, has enjoyed its time on the OTC QB and believes that the
exchange is extremely important for capital formation of early stage companies, it is our objective to meet the financial
standards required for an up listing to a National Stock Exchange. While such an up listing does not guarantee us financial
success (only hard work and increased adoption of our products can achieve that) it could significantly change our prospects
for access to capital as well as increase the notoriety of our brand and products.
Why Up list?
National Exchanges and Financial Listing Requirements
There are two primary National Exchanges in the US: The NADSAQ and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Below are the
listing requirements for both exchanges:
Listing Requirement Nasdaq Capital Market
(Rule 505a 505b2)
NYSE MKT
(Standard 2)
MCIG Current (Pro

Shareholders 300 400 4,000+ 4,000+
Market Makers 3 Not Required 30 30
Stock Price $4.00 $2.00 $.43 $.43**
As can be seen in the table above, mCig already meets 5 out of 7 listing requirements for both NASDAQ Capital Market and
NYSE MKT. The only two barriers that remain are Shareholder Equity and Minimum Stock Price. The minimum stock price is
purely technical and can be resolved by initiating a reverse stock split . Alternatively, if our shares appreciate past the minimum
threshold we may not require a reverse stock split. Management believes that the shareholder equity requirement should be
met with the listing of VitaCig, Inc.
On May 28, 2014. Vapor Corp.(VPCO) an OTC QB company achieved an up listing to the NASDAQ Capital Market. At the time
of the uplisting, VPCO had $10.8 million in Shareholder Equity confirming that the potential remains for mCig, Inc. following the
successful listing of VitaCig, Inc. mCig, Inc. will own nearly 250 million shares of VitaCig, Inc.

mCig, Inc. – An Outlier Amongst The Marijuana Stocks
mCig is the only company in the “Cannabis Index” to have
zero debt, US GAAP profits, and operate under SEC
regulations adhering to higher corporate governance and
reporting standards. mCig, Inc. management is strongly
opposed to “Toxic Debt” which results in perpetual growth
in shares outstanding.
Since entering the space, mCig has issued less than 200,000
shares to employees as compensation. Most of the other
components of the index have seen increases of 20-70% in
their shares outstanding.
Warren Buffet has stated that investors should always focus
on whether companies are supplementing their growth with
share issuances.

  • 5. THE OPPORTUNITY - VAPORIZERS “During the Gold Rush, most gold miners lost money, but people who sold them picks, shovels, tents and blue-jeans (Levi Strauss) made a nice profit.” Peter Lynch
  • 6. THEOPPORTUNITY–MARIJUANALEGALIZATION Cannabis (AKA) Marijuana Marijuana is the third most popular recreational drug in America (behind only alcohol and tobacco), and has been used by nearly 100 million Americans. According to government surveys, some 25 million Americans have smoked marijuana in the past year, and more than 14 million do so regularly despite harsh laws against its use. Legalization and Decriminalization Trend Following the global economic crisis of 2008 a renewed effort was made by the marijuana lobby for both decriminalization of the herb as well as legalization. This push was ultimately successful as the prospect of taxing marijuana like alcohol or tobacco represented an inflection point in the conversation for the merits of legalization. This culminated in marijuana being fully decriminalized and even legalized for adults 21 and up in the states of Colorado (Amendment 64) and Washington (Initiative 502). Colorado and Washington represent only the start of this trend. On January 16th, 2014, cannabis was legalized in five more states under federal law. These states are the following: Hawaii, Kansas, Alaska, Michigan, and Rhode Island. On a Federal level, there have been important developments as well. Most recently US Attorney General Eric Holder in a speech to the House of Delegates indicated that he had mandated a review and modification of all Justice Department policies relating to the sentencing of non-violent drug offenders. Market Size in Billions of Dollars per Year USA Legalized (WA & CO) $1.5 Billion today $6.0 Billion by 2018 USA Legalized All States $60 Billion Global Current Illegal $150 Billion Global Marijuana Users 150 million USA States with Legal Marijuana Laws Marijuana Business Opportunity
  • 7. THEOPPORTUNITY–PICK&SHOVELBUSINESSMODEL mCig, Inc. – A “Pick and Shovel” Marijuana Company mCig operates a simple business model: We develop cutting edge vaporizers for the recreational and medicinal marijuana community at disruptive price points. In addition to being disruptive on price, we also believe in the “Open-Source” model allowing our customers to heat up the plant material of their choice, as opposed pre-packaging our vaporizers with plant material. First Mover Advantage Where it Counts A “first mover” advantage only matters when you are focused on delivering unique customer experiences and building brand affinity. Most marijuana companies have chosen to grow marijuana a highly commoditized and competitive plant. We chose to develop and incubate brands that will resonate within the community and allow us to generate high volume, recurring sales. We operate two such brands: Pick and Shovel Business Model Founded in 2000, Vapolution is a leading producer of home-use herbal vaporizers such as the Vapolution 2.0. The Vapolution is sold in over 11 Countries, and 20 distribution points. Cumulative revenues of over $2 million since founding without spending any capital on marketing. www.vapolution.com Founded in 2013, mCig is a leading producer of portable herbal vaporizers such as the mCig 2.0 – a $10 purpose built herbal vaporizer launched in January 2014 that has generated sales in over 20 countries and to over 20,000 satisfied customers worldwide. www.mCig.org

  • 11. CORPORATE UPDATE– JULY 2014 mCig and VitaCig Brand Ambassadors Bam Margera and Rick Ross Respective Announcements Draw over 27,000 likes and shares on Facebook.
  • 12. CORPORATEUPDATE–JULY2014 One Month – Two World Famous Brand Ambassadors! •The month of June 2014 saw mCig and VitaCig achieve continued operational success on nearly every metric. Order fulfillment and inventory management issues have been completely resolved. 90% of orders are shipped to customers and WDR’s within 24 hours or less and customers as far as Spain and United Kingdom are reporting delivery within 4-5 days of orders being placed. The company is now operating with sufficient inventory (roughly 30 days) based on current sales trends and is fulfilling online and WDR orders from two fulfillment centers in the US East coast. •The month of June saw the company officially cross 20,000 individual customers from over 25 countries around the world. mCig customers are re-ordering at a rate of 5% while VitaCig customers are re-ordering at a rate of nearly 15%. •The results of our national media campaign are beginning to bear fruit. Both unique visits, and web hits have increased in June from May while data mining has shown a clear increase in orders from locations near physical billboards. This data is important as the company prepares to expand its campaign in the future. •Annual Report and Form 10-K. The company anticipates filing its fiscal year-end (May 30) Annual Report and Form 10-K with the SEC by the end of July 2014. Business Update Rick Ross Announcing his Joint Venture with mCig and VitaCig New Adoption Records Set on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook The month of June saw social-media interaction records for both mCig and VitaCig on the three leading networks: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook. The company is now measuring 10+ uploads per day on these networks compared to 100 total uploads in the previous month. It is becoming clear that mCig and VitaCig products are very social leading friends to share in these experiences together. This appears to be driving social-media uploads which in turn helps drive the continued adoption of our products. The month of June 2014 saw mCig and VitaCig achieve global recognition with the addition of two brand ambassadors to the team: Bam Margera and Rick Ross. Margera, a world-famous stuntman and skateboarder agreed to become a brand ambassador after using the VitaCig to help quit traditional nicotine cigarettes. Ross, one of the world’s most famous rappers and known supporter of cannabis, agreed to become a brand ambassador and joint venture partner producing his own version of the mCig codenamed “mastermind”. Between the two of them, Ross and Margera have over 10 million Facebook and twitter fans and cater to the millennial demographic we are targeting.
  • 13. THE OPPORTUNITY – ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES (ECIGS)
  • 14. THEOPPORTUNITY–ELECTRONICCIGARETTES Electronic Cigarettes (eCigs) eCigs are electronic devices comprised of a small lithium-ion battery and an atomizer that vaporize a nicotine liquid. As nothing is being burned, the result is a clean delivery of nicotine without the negative effects of tar, smoke, or second hand smoke. mCig, Inc. operates within the eCig industry by leveraging mobile vaporization technology for innovative new applications. What Goldman Sachs Says: (From Report Entitled: Top Disruptive Technologies August 2013) Electronic Cigarettes – (eCigs) Mergers and Acquisitions in the eCig Space Date Suitor Company Acquired Transaction Value Source 2/03/2014 Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE: MO) Green Smoke, Inc. $110,000,000 Altria 10/1/2013 Lorillard Inc. (NYSE: LO) Skycig, UK $50,000,000 Lorillard 4/25/2012 Lorillard Inc. (NYSE: LO) Blu Ecigs, Inc. $135,000,000 Wall Street Journal
  • 15. THEOPPORTUNITY–ELECTRONICCIGARETTES-VITACIG Taking the same innovative approach we applied to the marijuana industry, management decided to avoid direct competition with the ultra-competitive and highly regulated nicotine-based eCig industry. Instead, we developed a niche product by embracing the potential that eCig technology (the ability to easily vaporize pre-packaged liquids from a pocket-sized device) brings to medical delivery applications. VitaCig was officially launched on April 15, 2014 with three initial flavors. Sales achieved to -date are markedly higher than over the same period for mCig products. VitaCig – 100% Owned Subsidiary As far as we know, there does not exist a product comparable to Vitacig on the market. We believe the Vitacig will cannibalize both the existing eCig market as well as the e-Hookah markets by providing a superior, enjoyable experience without the nicotine or overly sweet flavors. This product will appeal to a wide market including: Smokers looking to quite, Smokers looking to reduce nicotine consumption, non-smokers. VitaCig – eCig as Medical Delivery Devices • Disposable • 500 Puffs • Shiny Metallic Colors • Every Vitacig contains a base of: Vitamins A, B, C, E and CoQ10 (Ubidcarenone) • Refresh – Mint + Peppermint Flavor and Eucalyptol • Relax - Blueberry and Black Currant flavor + B-myrcene • Energize – Orange + Grapefruit flavor + Limonene. • VitaCig Launched on April 15, 2014 • Sales velocity nearly 2x that of mCig. Several days in June saw VitaCig sales exceeding mCig sales. • FDA Regulation Proposals on eCigs appear to exclude nicotine-free devices such as the VitaCig. • Nutritional labeling backed by independent testing unveiled in June to be included in all new VitaCig packaging going forward. • VitaCig repeat customer order rate of nearly 15% in just 80 days of operation. • A Forbes Celebrity 100 member personally ordered VitaCigs in June 2014. • Two new flavors codename: “Calm” and “Youth” to be released in Aug. targeting stress and skincare. • VitaCig, Inc. S1 Filed with the SEC on 4/20/2014. Revised S1 was filed on 6/19/2014. Second round of comments received on 7/2/2014. Number of comments received down significantly. Revised S1 to be filed by 7/20/2014. VitaCig – Milestones Achieved to Date
  • 16. THEOPPORTUNITY–ELECTRONICCIGARETTES-LIQCIG As with VitaCig where management recognized the potential for mobile vaporization technology in medical delivery applications, the idea for LiqCig was developed internally towards the end of 2013. Before proceeding, Management engaged a team of third party scientists to test both the efficacy and technical process that would result in the delivery of alcoholic vapor. After being convinced of the technical merits and scientific efficacy this project was advanced. Unlike with mCig, Vapolution, or VitaCig, LiqCig will be incubated for a longer period of time with the ultimate objective of retailing LiqCig’s with licensed well- known alcoholic brands. Management believes this business strategy will result in higher margin profitability over the long- term and has greater potential to disrupt the $1.3 Trillion Alcoholic Beverage Industry. In June, testing of the LiqCig prototype was initiated. LiqCig, Inc. – 100% Owned Subsidiary LiqCig, Inc. – eCig Technology Disrupting Recreational Alcohol Consumption • Calorie-Free Alcoholic Consumption • Planned Distribution by Regulated Alcoholic Channels • Disposable and Recyclable • Pre-Packaged With Licensed Alcoholic Brands • Initial testing for three spirit categories: Vodka, Tequila, Rum. “The LiqCig has the potential to significantly disrupt the existing Alcoholic Beverage Market by providing a superior method for the consumption of alcohol recreationally.” Paul Rosenberg, CEO mCig, Inc. $0 $500 $1,000 $1,500 Tobacco Industry Alcoholic Beverage Industry Alcoholic Beverage Sales vs. Tobacco Industry Sales ($BN) Source: Marketline 2010 2015
  • 17. MCIG – THE PATH TO A POTENTIAL UPLISTING
  • 18. MCIG–THEPATHTOAPOTENTIALUPLISTING mCig, Inc. (OTCQB: MCIG) currently trades on the OTC QB Exchange. The OTC QB is regulated by FINRA and the SEC however there are no financial listing requirements. As a result, companies trading on the OTC QB are often perceived as inferior within the investment community and for the most part do not receive institutional investment from the likes of Mutual Funds, Pension Funds, Hedge Funds, and Insurance Companies. While mCig, has enjoyed its time on the OTC QB and believes that the exchange is extremely important for capital formation of early stage companies, it is our objective to meet the financial standards required for an up listing to a National Stock Exchange. While such an up listing does not guarantee us financial success (only hard work and increased adoption of our products can achieve that) it could significantly change our prospects for access to capital as well as increase the notoriety of our brand and products. Why Up list? National Exchanges and Financial Listing Requirements There are two primary National Exchanges in the US: The NADSAQ and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Below are the listing requirements for both exchanges: Listing Requirement Nasdaq Capital Market (Rule 505a 505b2) NYSE MKT (Standard 2) MCIG Current (Pro Forma Q1)* MCIG Following VCIG Listing @ $.05 Shareholder Equity $4,000,000 $4,000,000 $1,287,419* $13,525,500 Value of Publicly Held Shares $15,000,000 $15,000,000 $102,500,000 $102,500,000 Market Capitalization $50,000,000 Not Required $115,000,000 $115,000,000 Publicly Held Shares 1,000,000 1,000,000 250,000,000 250,000,000 Shareholders 300 400 4,000+ 4,000+ Market Makers 3 Not Required 30 30 Stock Price $4.00 $2.00 $.43 $.43** As can be seen in the table above, mCig already meets 5 out of 7 listing requirements for both NASDAQ Capital Market and NYSE MKT. The only two barriers that remain are Shareholder Equity and Minimum Stock Price. The minimum stock price is purely technical and can be resolved by initiating a reverse stock split . Alternatively, if our shares appreciate past the minimum threshold we may not require a reverse stock split. Management believes that the shareholder equity requirement should be met with the listing of VitaCig, Inc. On May 28, 2014. Vapor Corp.(VPCO) an OTC QB company achieved an up listing to the NASDAQ Capital Market. At the time of the uplisting, VPCO had $10.8 million in Shareholder Equity confirming that the potential remains for mCig, Inc. following the successful listing of VitaCig, Inc. mCig, Inc. will own nearly 250 million shares of VitaCig, Inc.
