That'd be nice. lol What about everyone placing a joint order at eastmall, healthcabin or heaven's gifts, splitting the shipping costs all around and disperse through local USPS? heh. Maybe a group Michiganian PayPal account. Probably couldn't work with strangers you don't know and dealing with money.

However, I did this with my sister's order from healthcabin. Since their products are inexpensive but the shipping is high, I gave her the money for my part of the order and half the shipping cost. I wouldn't have ordered from them on my own because of the shipping costs, but split up its not such a big deal ($23 is a lot for shipping, especially if you just want a few items).

What about an e-liquid "lemonade stand"?

Man, I would love to be in on something like that. Ever since I have got into vaping I have been thinking about ways to spread the word and maybe make a small income on the side.

When I took a drive to half a dozen smoke shops on a Saturday afternoon I was shocked to find none of these guys have a clue. Only 1 of the 6 shops carried anything vaping/e-cig related. And this guy had no clue what he was selling. Couldn't answer any questions about the product. I think it was called e-health-cigarette or something like that.

It would be great to have a place locally to provide supplies rather than have to pay shipping and wait on stuff all the time. I saw that Rocky Mountain Vapor moved to Fraser, MI, which is in the same county I live in, but when I contacted the guy he said he's running everything out of his home amd doesn't want any traffic from people buying directly.

I showed my PV to a local downtown store owner and she was amazed. She said she was going to look into getting them to sell at her store, or at the very least get some for personal use.

After I discover vaping I swear I've become a vaping evangelist!

Sucks that he doesn't want people coming to his house (but TOTALLY understandable). Fraser is 10 minutes from my house. Argh! So close, yet so far away. I've been wanting to get some stuff from RMV, but every juice I want, they are out of stock right now.

Tell me about it. I drive through there twice a day. Would be extremely convenient.

I even went to Gibraltar Trade Center on 94 to see if anyone was selling anything. Nothing, not one person. One of the people there told me "there used to be some guy," but he's been gone for a few months.

ya that would be nice .... hell i dont even know where fraser is but id drive there just to sit and chat with another vapor and talk "shop" while i buy out his inventory prolly lol. but i understand he doesnt want the neighbors thinkin its a drug house lmao.

ever since i have started vaping i have had the idea to open a actual store .... i just wish i had the moneys to do it. or at the very least open a kiosk at my local mall, then once that generated enough money open another ... i would like to have 3-4 mall kiosks through out michigan that would spread the word in our state quite a bit i think. (as well as make a few extra bucks)

[Antha]

I'd have no idea about setting up a mall kiosk, what you pay in fees to the mall to have it there. I've never been interested in running a shop myself, as it is a lot of work and consumers are very demanding. You could buy wholesale, resell it and ship it out. The biggest reasons people are reluctant to by from overseas suppliers is the cost of shipping and the time it takes to get here. We consumers want what we want, at low cost, and we want it practically the second we order it.

Fraser is between Sterling Heights and Clinton Township. Since you live in Bay City, you might not know these cities, but you could MapQuest it if you are curious. Seems the Michigan vapers are very spread out (aside from me and CleanSmokin).

I'll put out a good word for RMV's menthol. It's one of my favorites so far. Very fresh taste, decent throat hit too.

[535cheetah]

ya i know people are demanding and it would be alot of work..... but i would love interacting with the people too about e-cigs and teaching them about e-cigs and to get the word out. soooo many people have never even heard of them yet.

ya i know where sterling heights is, bout a hour n 30 min drive i believe
