    Brick and mortar stores are what we need to accelerate this process.
    A good brick and mortar is full of win, and is the most successful way to gain new vapers.

    Being good at what you do can be a double edged sword.


    As for supporting B&M stores. While I think they're a tad bit early to the game, I fully support the supporting of such a supportive institution as a B&M vape shop....as long as they're not being run by dips***s who are charging a king's ransom for stuff.

    I am going to guess being a bit early in the game depends on the size of the population you serve.

    Here in San Diego, Vapure has just opened it's third store.
    And on weekends, from what I hear, their first store sometimes has lines out the door.

    It does depend on location, like anything else that would be considered an upstart or "niche", I guess.


    AltSmoke just opened a B&M here in Columbus, and I think it will do well once word spreads. It's a cool laid back place. Buy a little gear (though you don't have to), try some liquids, and then grab a cold drink out of the cooler, cop a squat on the couches, and watch some TV...or read, or whatever have you.

    I will be going to the Orlando meet and it will be the first time I will have visited the store. Quite looking forward to it.

    Have been to a couple of flea market stalls in the past, ok not great.

    Vapestock the other weekend, get to a large meet if you can they are awesome.

    But on the whole reading a lot of this site, asking questions and on line stores. Have done the actually not so hard to get Eastern Euro mods to ProVape to Mad Vapes and they are all great to deal with.

    While I have the utmost respect for local stores if you are buying attys who better to ask a question of then Cisco? Reactor tank from nHaler Drew? Buzz Pro? Mike?

    They all support their products here. Most store from what I have seen have the generic Chinese Ego, 510 and juice ranges. Which are great and work but lack that bit of individuality that the store mentioned have.

    Do what works for you. You can't by the wrong PV if it works for you, same as juice etc. it is is keeping you off cigs it is the right option.

    I've been to the one in Oceanside. PV's and what they carry is kinda limited but i have been checking out the Juice.

    P.S. no vendors or anything at the Del Mar Fair? WTH LOL

    Yeah, I'm not so sure a brick and mortar is always going to be much good for folks like us.

    The store in Oceanside was carrying Egos, Lavatubes, and also had an Ovale Elips for some reason.
    But just the combination of Ego and Lavatube alone is enough to get just about anyone off cigarettes.

    And that's where I think the brick and mortars can really shine, by helping more people make a succesful switch.

    I absolutely agree.

    You will never see me knock the Ego, LavaTube or 510 as they are the bedrock of vaping in opening peoples eyes to what is possible.

    In my case it was an Ego C that will never leave my possession. Ok I don't use the C part anymore but the battery's are used on a semi regular basis. Four months in and still stunned that making an online order and waiting 3 days led me to go from 25 cigs a day to 1, then upping nic killed even that one.

    SOOOO loved smoking as well lol Oh well life moves on.

    I guess my comments are more for the person that has had their eyes opened to vaping and in search of that elusive next step rather than the starter, should of you know read the thread lol

    esmoker deals in genuine Joyetech, so at least you do know what you're getting there. And they stand behind their products. One of my batteries went wonky the first week. Walked in, explained what went wrong, walked out with a replacement. No waiting for mail or anything.

    I have broken even, but I've stopped keeping track of spending
