Amusing mall visit to the SE kiosk

[leeshor]

Most of the people here for any length of time know what a POS the Smoking Everywhere is so I won't digress any further.

I was looking for something at the mall and an aggressive sales person approached from the kiosk to ask if I smoked. I said I vaped. He wanted to know what and how and was more than a little taken aback by my answer. Still, he wanted to show me what he had.

Weak, very weak. He seemed to have been doing it for a while but he was having an issue with my respose to trying one of their low end models, which he said had only an 80 mAh battery, looked like the V4L standard batt to me.

So now he's trying to figure out if it was a dying atty, no - dying battery, no-- dry cart, no. He was stumped, especially when I pulled out my V4L and took a drag. Body language said it all. He was impressed. Went on to tell me their Gold kit was like the V4L, I said NO, not hardly. I'm pretty certain when I walked away he was busy writing down http://www.vapr4life.com I thought giving him a card would have been a little over the top.

They had 3 people manning the kiosk. Guess that's why it's so expensive. You should have heard his reaction to 80 flavors. SO FUNNY, at least to me.

You should have stood there and gave the cards you have on you to his interested customers, while providing the demonstration of a good product.

If they get aggressive with me I give it right back..but one kid who looked like he was still in high school was so timid that I didn't have the heart to take him on. I just showed him my Vk and gave him a card. So cute..he was surprised that there were any other types out there, let alone on the internet! (It was a very wimpy looking 2 piece he was selling.)

Well, being a career salesman, I recognize high pressure usually equals poor product, so my first visit to a mall kiosk (after researching on here) was pretty comical..

"So you expect me to invest HOW MUCH? And you aren't even allowed to let me take a puff before shelling out the cash? What happens if I don't like it?"

"Oh, you'll LOVE it! (slight pause) So will that be cash, check or charge? As you can see I have plenty of customers to attend to.."

"Well, Jim, I'm just having a hard time putting any faith in your poduct.. Is it as shifty and unreliable as YOU are?"

"Sir, if you'll excuse me, I have serious buyers on the other side of the...."


BWAH HA HA

MK,

Aren't you the one who put V4L business cards in the kits at the mall kiosk?

Too funny! After the issues I had with getting my refund from SE I just might have to take a trip to the Mall [even though I hate malls and shopping in general].
But I would love to show em what a REAL PV is

We don't even have them in the malls here yet. I was vaping at a 54th street today and the waiter said he had heard of "those" and that they were "tight"...lol All the other customers looked at me like I was from Mars. The wait staff kept peeking around the kitchen door at me...

The only ads we have so far are the radio commercials where they are giving them away for "free" as a stop smoking aid.

Looking forward to running into a kiosk though. Should be interesting.

Soooooo tempted to go to the one where my friend picked up her ecig and ask if they have ejuice refills for my favorite V4L flavors (pink lemonade, espresso, caramel mocha frap, etc) and puff away at my VK the whole time.

We dont even have a mall.

Well, I didn't say overly aggressive. I've had them do that to me before. All he really did was move 10 feet from his kiosk. He actually got pretty passive pretty quickly. AND they weren't all that busy

It was kinda fun really.

Yeah Paw, I did put ECF cards (that I made) and VL4 cards in the boxes after the guy got loud with me and stormed off. All I asked if is he sold liquid! he said NO! The liquids are awful! LOL

Lee, They do tend to get pretty affronted and then run off. I think they know when their product is out classed. It's sad really, their product isn't awful..just overpriced. And they don't have any juice or real warenty.

I made the guy so nervous he started dripping right in front of me, (his atty that is). He actually turned out to be pretty nice. He had several bottles of an amber colored juice on his counter but I didn't notice any label.

I'd still bet he's visited the V4L site. He asked me if I knew about or had tried 510s or a silver bullet. He wasn't the average know nothing.

As bad as SE seems to be, they are pioneers for taking on the FDA
