The Next Frontier: Physical Markets - who's in the lead??

[ChipCurtis]

My wife told me of a storefront that just opened up in Easthampton, MA - about a 25-mile drive from my house, and even closer to where I work:

Vapers Haven

I'll have to go check it out sometime, though it looks like they only have 2 or 3 brands and it's the stuff you'd find at the mall, etc.

So as a follow-up, I tried the gammucci disposeable. Tasted alright but it only lasted me 2 hours. $15 for TWO hours! The filler was still very wet.

Companies need to stop selling disposables as the battery life degrades over time while sitting on a shelf. If that had been my first vaping experience, I wouldn't have tried it again.

Most disposables can be charged several times Jason...Not sure why gammucci aren't. Granted, other than the 510 disposables I havn't seen any of interest.

Nice find chip, they seem to carry 901s and 510s...good choices for beginners and definitely better than the mall. Pricing isn't as good as online but other than the juice (doublepriced) it isn't bad.

Heheh...honestly I was thinking of opening up a storefront here in vegas...but the population around here doesn't seem quite ready for it. If someone already has one in town...hire me! I can make you (somewhat rigged due to lack of tools and materials) mods!

Also thinking maybe starting with a storefront is too big...perhaps I should work more on perfecting DIY juices and start an online shop first.

Edit: Kinkachoo....is that a bat, a dog, or a batdog? Whatever it is, it's cute!

I thought of getting a part time job at White Cloud here. But I can't stand ripping people off or working in the mall. I have also thought about opening a store here but don't think there are enough people vaping around here yet.

It is a kinkajou in my avatar and thanks she is a cutie.

Not sure if they qualify as physical markets, but does anyone know how many kiosks Smoking Everywhere has ?

Where would you find the suppliers to open a store front?

You would find these supplies/ inventory in China. The same way the online guys do. The difference is that MOST brick and mortar have markut in the hundreds of percent, to keep the lights on, and pay staff, just like Best Buy.

I bought my TV from Tiger Direct, 65inch Mitsubishi, and even with a crating charge and shipping it was $1000 less than Best Buy.

Volcano e-cigs has a vapor bar in Hawaii. Never been there but from what I've read and heard from others, you can buy nearly anything that they have on their web site plus a few other items in the store.

In my town Citgo and Shell gas stations carry disposables. I'm not sure what they are but I believe they're only like 15 bucks for a kit with 5 cartridges.

It would be nice if places carried something like real Joye 510 kits because these crappy disposables could leave a bad first impression on people and keep them from vaping again in the future.

A company called CIG2o has a KR808D-1 model in smoke shops at $79.99 for a full starter kit, and also supplies cartomizers in flavors. There are accessories available, too.
