"A Tobacco Shop" Clayton, NC

[craftmath]

I posted this in another thread, but wanted to make sure you NC vapers have a look....

"A Tobacco Shop" in Clayton NC has gone through a major change in the past few weeks. The owner has recently converted the entire shop to pretty much ecig/vaping products. I went there yesterday and he said he's even going to carry Halo juices and even try to get some AVE juices, and if anything works out, he plans out partnering with top "mod" companies. Buying a Provari in a shop? That would be sweet. haha....

Have a look. He's gaining knowledge about vaping and is happy to learn from people who are into vaping like us! He carries some tank setups and he was humble enough to ask for my advice about how to prevent tanks from leaking, and the proper way to fill them up. For a guy to have a shop like this in our area, we need to make sure he gets the proper education in vaping to have a nice sustainable shop in Eastern NC! His name is Ahmed.

There is a facebook page up for this store as well! Couple of pictures and you receive a discount if you mention facebook when you make a purchase in the store! Johnson Creek liquids and Halo juice is on the way! Looks good to me!

I went there for the first time today, it was well worth the drive from Durham to get there! I could go broke in there in a matter of moments with the selection of juices they have! And the prices are great. The young man who helped me out there today (I'm sorry I didn't get his name) was very knowledgeable about the products and was very patient with me. He explained the brands of juices he had there - since the only one I was familiar with was Dekang - and let me sample a few. He also gave me some suggestions on parts for my e-cig so I'm not constantly changing heads and burning through cash. But they've got juices from Dekang, Hangsen, Johnson Creek, Red Oak, Halo, etc. I walked out with a bunch of Red Oak stuff and a couple of bottles of Hangsen. The shop is VERY impressive, and I wish them the best of luck. We need shops like this in the area, and I am more than willing to drive out there once in a while to give them some business.

Swing by on a Friday or Saturday if you get a chance! I'd like to meet ya. I'm a college math instructor, but like to help them out on the weekends. I'm hoping we can set up a vape meet there in the near future!

The shop is nice enough to get a bunch of folks in there! Maybe pop some tables up outside, make it a grand old time. Although you appear to have a very interesting neighbor. LOL! That could make for some funny conversation. You there every Friday and Saturday? I'll be out that way again, but it's a distance from me, so probably not as often as I'd like. But I'd love to drop in and meet ya!

Good news to read! We have a MadVapes shop in Charlotte, amongst other vendors. Vaping supplies are growing in popularity. I just drove past a "smoke" shop that has a huge banner stating they now have E-cigs.

A very interesting neighbor indeed! Whatever gear you may need can be found at this one little strip mall. haha..... But yeah, I'm here pretty much every Friday and Saturday. Just for a few hours, but its all for fun. Vaping is definitely become apart of me so why not make a little bit of side $$ doing it.... just to support the habit further!

The owner has decided to close the shop down after only being open just a few months. Just thought I would save any of you the hassle of making the trip. Sad to see a vaping store come and go so quickly, but things like this happen.

 

[Wolf308]

I was a little surprised to see this. They just opened a hookah bar and all, too. Really a shame, it was a great shop. But he may have done better in a better location.

 

[craftmath]

I'm pretty satisfied with the online shopping in regards to vaping gear. I would like to see another brick and mortar pop up just to go vape and chat with others.

There's sort of one in Raleigh now, but the Volcano Lounge is the only thing similar to what you mention and I think they went under, too. I don't get it. I see a lot of people around here vaping. Are we just not supporting our locals anymore?

I walked into the Volcano lounge before it closed and I was super excited.

There were probably 4 people working there. No one said anything to me. No one offered to show me anything. No one seemed at all interested to be there.

I walked out. I was kind of upset. I'm sad I missed the vape shop in Clayton. I went there when it was still a tobacco shop and they were starting to stock 510s and eGos. Seemed like they had their stuff together.

What other places are there in the area?

 

[GiMp LEg DoNKey]

I don't know of any other stores really. I live in Fuquay and there is a tobacco store right beside radio shack that carries 510s, egos, and dekang juice. Nothing too crazy...lol. I also got that kind of "put off" feeling the couple times I visited the volcano lounge as nobody seemed really interested in anything they were doing.

Misty Mountain Vapors just opened an actual store front up. They've got a small area with sofas and a TV, and they're working on expanding their inventory. They told me they want to get some DIY stuff in and a few different juice companies. 6405 Westgate Rd - Suite 109, Raleigh, NC 27617 (off Glenwood Ave near I540). It's a little strip mall with a pizza place and all in it, across the street from the Citgo station. Misty Mountain Vapors Electronic Cigarette Sales

I used to work very close to there. A haul to Raleigh is about 25 minutes for me without traffic. I have a gift cert for a totally unrelated shop on Glenwood in that area. I might have to make a dual-purpose trip.

Wasn't that the fairgrounds setup? I think I remember those prices being outrageous. But hey, if the locals have something I want.. I'll support 'em.

 

[craftmath]

Prices were outrageous. I paid $100 for ONE ego T battery, charger, case, an extra atomizer and a few ego plastic tanks. This was when I started almost a year ago and I had not found ECF. I'll still go check them out though just to see what they have.

Sounds interesting. How is their selection and prices?

 

[craftmath]

Their prices are decent. They are passionate about vaping and the vaping community so thats + when it comes to a vendor.
