Ok, in my new apartment in the California east Bay Area and damn are there a lot of vape shops out here! In the course of driving 2500ish miles in four days all I used were my Kayfun's. From just above sea level in Ohio to the mile high city of Denver/northern Nevada mountains back down to sea level and not a single bit of leaking/flooding/gurgling. Of course driving makes the elevation changes much more gradual than something like flying.
I was using a KFL+, KFL+ v2 and a Russian 91% on my Provari (in 18650 mode since I list my 490 cap in my accident) and my Electric Angel mech with an 18650. Since I was driving for days I tried to have 3 different moods of juices in my tanks. Something for the morning like a coffee, something fruity for the day and something sweet should the mood hit me. I normally only vape around 3-4ml's per day, maybe 6ml's when driving like this, with 3 tanks I didn't have to refill much. However I did find myself in a bit of a juice funk somewhat like SharonMM several weeks back. I just got bored with what I had.
I managed to find a nice vape shop just outside St. Louis as it was just down the street from the hotel I stayed in. I really wanted to visit one of the you-know-what shops in Denver but I was good and kept driving. I swung by one of the ElectroNicStix stores in Salt Lake City (one of only 2 companies selling the ZNA) to pick up a gunmetal 18490 tube for my ZNA (whenever it gets mailed to me from home) and a couple juices. I'm enjoying G2 Vapors "Vazilla" from their Prime line, it's a vanilla butterscotch. Although the G2 "Purple Nurple" is a good grape candy it's hard to vape much at a time.
I swung by a local vape shop yesterday and it was nice to see them actually talk me out of buying something. I've never been much of a dripper but I figured "when in Rome..." and wanted something along the lines of a Cali style nuclear cloud blowing RDA with variable air flow. Just to play around with. One of the guys at the store told me to hold off because they didn't have anything to satisfy that desire. They even let me try their testers of the new Five Pawns line even though they don't have any to sell yet. I haven't used a clearo in a while and ended up spilling one of the 5P samples
The salesman even recommended some vape shops he frequents in SF, San Jose and Hayward.
I bought a few bottles of juice, one that tastes like a Girl Scouts Samoa cookie, Provari flush fit ring & 18490 cap and some other odds and ends. It was really cool to actually see some mods that I've only seen online being sold in a shop. Chi You, UVO's, King mods and Pinoy stuff I've never heard of. They even had the quartz glass upgrades for the Kayfun. At the local store they were either vaping drippers or Kayfuns.
I will say though that at each vape shop I stopped by I played Ahlusion "you gotta try these guys" ambassador. Have to give some love to Ahlusion wherever I go and spread the good word
Kind of sad, really.
