What do they sell? Which mall?
I've personally never seen a mall kiosk but since I started vaping people always ask me if I bought my equipment at one.

In the absence of any other details, I'm going to say this is someone trying to drum up some business. Steven36 just in case you are for real, if you want anyone to believe you, you're going to have to say what they sell. That means generic model names (510, KR808D1, M401, etc.). Do they sell blank cartridges and juice separately? If you just come on and say that they sell the best most durable e-cig in the world and that one cartridge lasts as long as a carton of cigarettes and that the cigarette sized battery goes all day on one charge, we're going to know you're a shill.
Oh and the FDA takes a dim view of e-cig vendors with health in their name. As a general rule, so do I. So far, they all seem to be some of the biggest shysters in the business.

I get that all time too, and in my 32 years of existence I have never seen a e-cig mall kiosk, maybe it's an east coast thing
i have seen one and i bought my ego from there...along with liquid. much over priced but im not complaining...it got me where im at today.
Not just an East Coast thing, there is a E-Cig Kiosk in the mall in Springfield, but I wasn't interested in e-cigs when the guy tried to sell me on them, and they were wanting like 129.99 for a charger, 5 cartos, a couple ejuices, and a battery. That experience turned me off on e-cigs for quite some time.
i saw a mall kiosk for the first time the other day up in the grand junction mall. selling colorado e-smokes brand. theres a local smoke shop that sells the brand watched a video n its sapposably a 510. looked like they had some juice to but didn't really stop to check it out probably will next time if im bored

Seriously overpriced one here in our mall. $120 a pop for proprietary thread 180 mah size with sealed cartos. They been in business for 2 years now, and no signs of bailing out soon.
Back in January, when I first started vaping, my kit came the day before a four week trip to the East Coast. My plan was to quit smoking then because I would be so busy out on the road I wouldn't be in my usual environment. I hoped it would be easy... and it was!
I thought I had bought enough cartomizers (because they tell you that one cart is like a pack of cigs - which is BS!) but by the third week I was running out and panicking big time. The last thing I wanted to do was get started on cigs again, and I wasn't in one place long enough to get mail. While I was stuck in hotel rooms at night I found this forum and learned about filling carts.... now all I needed was to find juice. Not so easy!
While in the Crossgates mall in Albany, NY I found a Smoke 51 kiosk (maybe Smoke Anywhere - can't remember). They had juice for sale there, but only tobacco flavors and it was very expensive. By this time I was more into chocolate and cherry so I wasn't thrilled with the prospect of vaping nasty tobacco for the next week. I decided to walk around a bit and think about it. A little further down the mall I ran into another kiosk selling e-cigs and supplies. This wasn't a name-brand seller, just a local independent. He had some wonderful chocolate, cherry and mint e-juice that was exactly what I needed. At $15 for each 10ml bottle I swallowed hard and pulled out the credit card. Hallelujah, I was back in business!
Since then I've been to dozens of malls all over the country.... I have yet to see another independent seller. They are all the big rip-offs and very few actually sell juice. I really think someone was looking out for me.

ok i said good not great they sell smoke 51 and smoking everywhere prices same as most kiosk 100 to 150 a kit the good part is they honor the warranty life time and believe in the product and carry juices the reason i did not give a location was because i did not want people thinking i was trying to drum up biz don't care if they last or not
OK mickey did i say they sell the best in the world no all i said was the name of the place that was it. do a Google search you wont fined it. did i say the location no did i give any information no just a name forgive me for thinking sum-one is trying to run a good business do a search of my post you might figure out what i like and what vendor i use
For the most part the reason you dont see Brick and mortar stores is they wouldn't be able to survive the cost of rent, mall kiosk that I have seen sell over priced JUNK ! Smoke51 & Smoke Everywhere fall into this class of E-Cig as far as my opinion goes, everyone is much better off buying from and ECF Vendor all day long.
very true mwa .... for sum reason there are people that don't like shopping on line strange .... true my parents are a prime example i got them both v4l vaporkings .... unless i order everything for them they are going to shop at a mall so if i can teach them how to top off and refill cartomizers it my keep them off ciggs
My local mall kiosk sells the Smoke Free kits and accessories. From the website advertised at the same kiosk:
$149.00 starter kit which includes 2 auto batts, wall charger, one atty, and 5 prefilled cartridges. It appears to be a RN 4081. Prefilled cartos are offered for $14.99 per 5 pack.
In comparison, Smoking Everywhere's website is selling their starter kit for $29.95 (on sale?). One auto batt, 5 prefilled cartridges, and a wall charger. It doesn't say it includes an atty, but come on, a starter kit without an atty? I'm assuming at least one is included. Their single atty's are priced at $29.99 each on the same website.
Neither vendor offers a good value, in my opinion. In fact, I think they both suck.
If the RN 4081 is your model of choice because it's so convenient to run to the local mall kiosk for more cartos, juice, attys, etc., consider this kit available online. Two auto batts, one atty, wall charger, and 5 prefilled cartridges for $36.95.
If I had any hesitation about ordering online versus being able to buy from a mall kiosk, I think I would get over it pretty quickly doing this little bit of comparison shopping. Then again, for $36.95 shopping online, I could do much better than a RN 4081 kit.
Moral of the story? I dunno.

BACKGROUND: A couple weeks ago my Omega caught on fire and burnt my pinky. I was following Grimm Green's advice and using two CR123A batteries to operate at 6 volts. (Don't listen to Green - Listen to the manufacturer Altsmoke) Altsmoke warned not to operate the Omega with anything but 3.7 volts.
Bottom Line I had no other e-cig (waiting weeks for my Provari) so I looked to buy an e-cig locally. Only retail store was a Kiosk in Concord Mall, NC. None in Charlotte and Madvapes is one mile from my house but does no retail all online. The mall kiosk was charging 5 times the online rate so I bought a carton of cigs until my Provari arrived. Brick and motar e-cig stores in the USA are rip-offs. Getting a back-up e-cig so I won't have to go through this again.
I would have called Madvapes explained my situation and see what they could do they might've helped you out!
It would've been worth an email or a phone call at least right?
C.B.
I would have called madvapes and asked. The most they would have said is no or possibly yes. The owners don't want people going back to smoking as alot of vendors are willing to help people in tight binds. Never hurts to try and you would have possibly saved your lungs that carton of smokes...I'm not bashing, just trying to explain. Don't ever feel that they don't want to help you.
they have a kiosk in the mall by me but everything is way overpriced. I was thinking about getting an e-cig before I saw how much they were getting for them.(150.00 for a generic kit w/ 2 batt. 1 charger and 5 cartos) and refill cartos were 13.95 for 5, even more for some Good thing I started looking online and asking around or I might of never converted
