ERIE, PA--(Marketwired - Apr 8, 2014) - Fortitude Group, Inc. (OTC: FRTD) receives an initial order of 5,000 VaporVites.

The initial 5,000 unit order was received from a Colorado dispensary with 4 stores. Fortitude's cost to manufacture each VaporVites unit is $29.00. The wholesale cost to the dispensary is $89 or a profit per unit of $60.00 representing $300,000.00 profit for this initial order. Under the terms of the agreement, the dispensary paid a 25% deposit for the initial order with the balance to be paid upon product delivery. The estimated delivery time to the dispensary is April 20, 2014.

Thomas J. Parilla, CEO of Fortitude, stated, "We are pleased to begin selling the VaporVites product while reflecting this product revenue on our income statement. The distribution of the VaporVites e-cig product line has immediately produced revenue for the company at minimal hard cost or capital outlay. Our goal is to wholesale a minimum of 250,000 VaporVites units in the remainder of 2014. Based on our preliminary case test study, we are confident that we will achieve, if not exceed, this goal. At our $60.00 wholesale profit per unit, we should derive roughly $15 million in 2014 from the VaporVites initiative or an additional $.0187 per share."
