I was born in Naples, Florida, and grew up on Ft. Myers Beach until 12. I came back for a while in the late 90's and lived in Cape Coral. From what I hear, you can practically open your front door and trip over vape shops down there.
Another B&M rant

You got it, Rocketpunk. I lived in Ft. Lauderdale for awhile and the vape scene was overwhelming. Here in Daytona it's a little toned-down but still booming. The average age of most people I see in my local B&Ms is around 30.
I haven't read the entire thread but you also are assuming the employees who sold your friend his set up know what they are doing. I consider myself a beginner yet I know more than most of the employees I have encountered in vape shops. The employees I run into are the cloud chasers mentioned above. Usually college age and making minimum wage. They can wrap some wicked coils though.
Main reason why I got in to diy I have a VG issue as well. However my experience is a little different. When I vape high vg juice it feels as if I am vaping 100% pg and my throat is installed sore. Not fun at all. So I have to hit a fine line around 50/50 to keep away from sore throat. But it beats my old camel lights any day. As far as the stores I find them hit or miss. It is what it is. I try to listen and not give my opinion. They say options are like bums everyone has one. but when I do frequent the stores I end up helping helping their customers on the down low in the stores where the employees are subpar.
I went to this store to get an idea of how much a couple rdas might be as well as batteries for a buddy who's getting into vaping. So I pull out a pen and a pad to write down the price. Owner says that's not cool or something to that effect and basically kicks me out of the store whilst continuing to bad mouth me to someone else in the shop. I was so ....... Later, I realized he probably thought I was from another store trying to undercut him or something. Was so weird, guy didn't even talk to me or anything just accused me.
Went with a friend today who had impulsively decided he had to start vaping to quit smoking to the b&m in the nearest city as waiting for delivery from an online purchase wasn't an option and the place was worse then I remembered quite the achievement. First as I entered the store they had a sign in the far corner promoting the new sigelei 50w box mod which I'm looking to get as a backup £99.99 and it wasn't the new version they had the first version about ten units blatent misadvertising.
Bit unhappy I go to the counter where my friend is being served I checked their website before we set out so knew they had vamo's bit more then should be but in his budget anyway get to the counter and he has a stingray clone and not a good one four ultrafire 18650's an ego adaptor and a five pack of ce5's for the bargain price of £135.99. I looked at my friend and said "I told you to ask about a vamo" he replied that they didn't have any they were out of stock and the guy behind the counter had got him the next best thing. When the ...... came back with a tray of premium liquid £14.99 for 10ml I asked him why he hasn't given my friend what he asked for as it was the centrepiece of the display case with other boxed units under it he just walked off and we got the manager who asked us to leave as they didn't have to serve aggressive and disruptive people. Normally I'd have gone off on one but Christmas shopping has done my head in already so just laughed at the manager and said let's go to my friend. We ended up getting a istick for £40 and nautilus mini for £32 from the market across the road.
How many other people that b&m has ripped off god knows but I know to never go near the dump again least the last owners were just surly these new ones are rip off artists of the worst kind.

Oh yes. The time when owners would sell you something cheaper to have a customer return 1
I would bet good money it was the most premium juice fasttech hold as I recognised 90% of their stock from fasttech even down to the boxes and bags the stuff came in. I have much work with my friend but he's not touched an analog since he got his little kit so time is on my side I'll convert him to the never ending finance of online buying lol.
