First of several

Ok, howdy ya'll this is my first blog, and it's gonna be a lil'complaining and lil'props given. Most is just gonna be IMHO. First I have been a memeber of this forum for about 2 years and this is the most knowledgable people about vaping. So thanks ya'll. Next I wanted to say that i'm pretty ...... at amazon vendors. Ok, it's my fault for buyin off amazon and not a vape site, but hey i was tryin to save money. I ordered a couple of 26650 batteries. Well, the package was all jacked up when it came in. Ok, it happens, but one of the batteries was not in good shape, which again i get it may not have been the vendors fault, but com'on package the batteries better!! Well to my dismay i found the batteries i ordered are NOT what i thought brand wise. Again, i know my fault. But now I know better than to order the 'cheapest' cause frankly i would have rather spent another$5 bux and supported a local shop. Which I'm gonna do next time. Speaking of local shops, they're not all the same. And in some cases I wont step foot into a local shop. There is one that when i was first signed up on here i loved. In fact i raved about the shop. The guy had very good prices on juice, 9.99 for a 30mL. Great deal right? Buy local right? WOW I was proven wrong. I even went and helped this guy out by working a couple days a week for him. Turns out over half of his 'hand crafted' juice wasnt even crafted by him. Since there was a falling out, i have ventured into some really nice vape shops, still local, and MAN what a difference. The people have more than one brand of juice, Nothern Lights, Sucicede Buddy-not sure how much longer, Teleos, 3 Dukes to name a few. The list is actually much longer. Some of them do make their own, but dont push it so heavily. Plus the ladder mentioned shop, barely stocks and MODs or does the owner know about them. He has even said, they're not the people i want in here. WTH?! I dont know, dont ask please. It has been a year since i've been in his shop and wont go back. Now, the other shops I've been too, the people are awesome, super friendly and know more than the customers. Yeah i know they should! Anyway I'm not even sure how a blog is supposed to work, but im gonna post this.
Ok, so if ya'll wanna know the local shop i'm avoiding, PM me. I wont blast them here.
