I have visted a few shops around the Canton area,
First: "Magic Mist" on West Tusc right down from the fairgrounds, at last stop they were selling basic Ego's, VV Ego's and T3s, T2's, Vivi Nova's too, they had a VG line of juices VaporMate USA brand, no mods or a lot of flavors. May have more now, was told they were adding on to have a taste testing space and self mixing station.
Second: "The Vapor Lounge LLC", on Cleveland Ave NW right across the on ramp to HWY62 West. At last visit They had a nice tasting area and lounge along with one long case with mainly Ego style devices and a few Mech Mods, Segeli I believe, a few carto tanks, some CE16s and T3s, Vivi Novas and a few others, no RBAs or anything. Never bought juice there, I was doing DYI by then, they mixed their own i believe.
Third: "E-Cignificance" in Massillon off Lincoln way w in the same plaza Bob Evans is in. No lounge, just two cases with once side ego style stuff, some pro tanks, carto tanks, t3s, some CE16 and drip tips, otehr case had some Mech mods and VV/VW devices, pricey to say the least. Like SID, Vamo, telescoping mods, batteries. they have juice there behind counter you ask what you want to try off a sheet of paper. Again I dont buy juice so dont know what brand, small shop, good for first timers, pricey! They have a second store they opened in canton, in the old theater off 30th street across from the Plasma donation place, ive been told its very big and they have a bunch of stuff, RBAs and supplies Not sure but if the price is the same as the massillon store I wouldnt want to go anyhow.
Fourth: "Vapor Station" in Massillon on Navarre Rd. Go past HWY30 on 21 south you want to turn left at light after MCDs, its on the left. This is what I call my shop, they have about everything you could need, get the latest tanks when they come out, had the new Iclear 30s and Bs now too, they have about every new VV/VW device, MVPs VTRs 134s, smoketech devices, vamo, sid, k100s and 101s RBAs and RDAs mesh and wire, silica and ekowool, they are a WestSideVapor Co. franchise I believe, no lounge really they have chairs around their testing tables but no place to hang out really. I wish they did but they have a huge juice operation running, yes they make their own as you order it. They have had everything i have ever wanted, when i buy from a B&M. Prices are ok, cheaper to get online still but better than all three shops above on price.
I was going to make the trip to "Legend Vapor" but I DYI my own juice for months now, I buy 90% of my devices, atties, supplies and DYI stuff Online, Im done with B&Ms around here but for my main shop when needed. They are over priced, lack any real selection for a seasoned vapor and like the post said above mine, I feel a bit old when in these shops. The crowds are much younger and the lack of a lounge type atmosphere to bring me into the B&M why should I go? Most the time i found myself helping the employees explain vaping and equipment to new customers, I didnt get paid anything for it either.
Overall for a new vapor user, the Canton area has many easy places to go and find a good ecig to help someone quit smoking, thats great. However we need a advanced store/lounge for those of us that have moved far past a simple Ego and CE4!
I would like to go hang out with fellow vapors that have stories to tell about their new coil they just added to their list of coils they have tried in their Kayfun or how they pushed their DNA20 to 18watts and had a great vape, or the flavor of this new juice they found or made. Thats what I would love to do and have in the Canton area, how about you?
