A funny thing happened while walking through the mall...

So I haven't seen any of the e-cig carts floating around in the mall in a long while.. Apparently though one is back and right across from my favorite store in the entire world, Bath and Body Works..

My mom and I were walking by it and we chuckled and the lady offered me to try their product.. I took my eGo-C out of my purse and showed it to her. So long story short, I had Black Mamba on the Rocks in there, I let her try it, and she was amazed and said it was way better than the menthol she was selling. I gave her a few websites including this one. For someone who was selling a product she sure didn't know about all the options out there. She was asking me about battery life, flavors available, etc etc..

I was highly amused by the experience and had to share I kinda feel bad though, she said the throat hit was so much better with the eGo.. I have a feeling the ones she's selling just aren't going to compare anymore

That's a great story! I wonder if she owns the mall kiosk, or if she just works there - if she owns it, maybe she'll start selling Ego kits instead of the junky stuff most mall kiosks sell! I bet that a mall kiosk selling quality vaping products would do great business!

She didn't own it.. Her boss called her moments after she took a drag off mine.. That gave me quite a case of the giggles..

I bet you're right though! I wish that there was a kiosk in the mall that I could just run over and pick up stuff from. I hate stalking the mailman..

I wonder how much it would cost to set one of those up... Hmmmm.....

lol! We think alike! The wheels in my head are turning regarding a QUALITY vaping kiosk - if the junky ones make bank... I'm trying to wrap my head around how great a quality kiosk could be!

Too bad we're on opposite coasts.. I'm also wrapping my brain around it.. There's no vapor shops in my immediate area either.. The closest ones are Berkeley.. One hour west.. And Sacramento.. One hour east.. Hmmmm... The really big issue is it's California.. I bet it's a beast to get a business license for something like that..

Yikes, probably! It might be a bit easier here in Florida, and I would LOVE to do it... Wish I could do it right now, but will have to wait a year or two probably thanks to upcoming surgeries, but... at least that gives me more time to plan, right?
You should look into what it would take to get that business license!

Mall kiosks need to get it together. I mean, I've bought juice from one of them once. And will probably never do it again unless there was some major shortage. Their price was easily higher than an online distributor (with shipping). If they had decent equipment and juices, it would be easier on everybody and in the long run they may be able to move from a kiosk, to an actual store with good business.

I can tell nobody here has tried to rent mall space anywhere with decent traffic. Mall rent is pretty outrageous. Not to justify the rip-offs. They could do just as well if they sold quality products, but the prices have to be the highest around. That girl was just a clerk. The only thing she knew was what the owner told her when he hired her. It's a pretty big investment. The owner probably has kiosks in a bunch of malls and hires anyone who'll work cheap.
