This place just happens to be a block from my house. It's a nice shop with a lounge and a few tables to build on. The staff is great super helpful and knowledgable. they vape they build, they use the products they sell which is a big plus in my book. The juice is okay some favors are really good some not so much but that's any where you go. They do have a nice selection and a tester rack which is nice, nothing worse than a surprise when you crack the cap.

In addition to the above, I actually like the popcorn so much (especially after 1.5 weeks steeping) that I ended up ordering multiple 50mL bottles directly from their source, ECBlends! Additionally, ECBlends allows you to customize the PG/VG blend as well as allowing you to add extra and double extra flavor as we'll as adding other flavors to the mix such as butter or caramel! Absolutely delicious!

Most people give the automatic "EWWW!" When I tell them what I'm vaping on but once they smell the vapor, most want to try it!

I've always loved the popcorn jelly belly's so this was a natural choice for me and is actually my absolute favorite juice on the market!

Give it a shot if you enjoy the jelly belly's and/or popcorn in general! It is a very good emulation of the real deal!

One last remark-

In regards to vape shops on LI, I use vaporsearchusa.com once every other week to find new B&M's and have been to every single one on the island.

In order from best to least best, I have found the following:

1- Fluid Vapor Bohemia, NY - By far best atmosphere with the highest quality selection and vapor lounge to boot - the owner invented the Power Pro for the Provari as well as the Fluid Tank and various other machined mods- awesome people and environment- good prices
2- L.I.V.E (Long Island Vapor Emporium) Franklin Square, NY - also a vape lounge with a great selection of mechs and starter kits
3- Ventable Vapor Valley Stream, NY - this guy is actually a wholesale distribution out of his home but he allows you to pick up from him (or you could order from his website- venrablevaper.com - best selection I've seen anywhere and he'll mix custom juices for you- best prices I've found
4- Clean Vapor Store Lindenhurst, NY - decent selection, prices a bit too high. The spot attracts a lot of under aged kids and the atmosphere isn't great but he has stuff you can get anywhere else as he has the exclusive with DB Tech for they're "Made in the USA" carto-tank (which is the best and sturdiest tank I've had- and I've literally had them all) and soon to come mechanical mod. Owners' attitude is hit or miss. One day he's chill, the next he's rambling on about conspiracy theory etc.

Any other store I didn't list isn't worth your time. Believe that. Outside of the island, there's a spot in Brooklyn, I believe it's called MoVapes- they have a great selection, probably the largest I've seen, especially of drip tips but they have EVERYTHING, and they're prices are very competitive. then there is EmpireMods in Flushing- cool guys, great selection!

Last (and least) VAPENY- dooshey attitude in all but the Jesus looking employee at the Forrest hills location, forget they're spot on rivington- the Asian female owner/partner couldn't be any less accommodating. Their pricing is stratospheric and they have nothing (but their nasty juices) that you can't get anywhere else! I'd stay far away from these guys, it seems their really only in it for the money unlike the people at Fluid and L.I.V.E, who are genuinely lovers of vaping and want to see it proliferate as a healthy alternative, not a cash cow for the owners (though that'd be a perk well deserved of those at LIVE AND FLUID)!

Hope my experience saves you guys and gals time, money, headache, etc.

I'm always looking for new and exciting places, people, gear in the vape world so please add to what I've said if you can, I'd truly appreciate it!

Happy vaping all!

Its actually venerable vaping
New Electronic Cigarette

I only correct just in case some one is looking to find the website not to be snippy

But I would add that he has givin the best customer service I have seen even helped me build a genni with SS
I was having trouble building
and I didn't even buy it from him

I use him for all my supplies and Mod's and atties although I get all my juice online from out of NY vendors
but I do know we does any custom mixes people ask

also I would add the worst place I've been to on LI was Eliquidplanet
when I first started they lead me down all the wrong paths pushed those CE clearo's and simple ego's as the best vaping equipment known to man from their ECF saved me from going back to smoking

There is a new Vape Shoppe/lounge in Lake Ronkonkoma. Long Island Vaporium is located at 401 Hawkins Ave., Lake Ronkonkoma, NY 631-285-3421. Open Mon thru Frid 10am-8pm, Sat: 11-7, Sunday 12-5.

I haven't been there yet but plan to scout it out next trip.

I live in Nassau and usually drive out to Fluid which is a great shop.Rob & his staff are great. Best shop I've been to. Plus they just moved to Unit 1 in front of the building 3 weeks ago and it looks real sharp.

In a pinch i will use Vapor Smoke in East Meadow for wicks and a Menthol my wife likes. Murat is the owner, nice guy but a bit pricey

I am closest to Tri-County and have never been there so I cant say but I wasn't impressed with his website

Update: checked out the spot at Tricounty and it is indeed a booth for EliquidPlanet! Decent stuff, prices a little high, not a great selection but they did have an IMR high drain 18350 I'd been looking for. The guy there didn't seem very educated but the lady knew her stuff. Hadn't been to TriCounty in years, they renovated the place. Much less depressing lol.

I've also dealt with Murat at Vapor Smoke- cool guy, great juice selection but higher prices.

@vjc thanks for the correction, AJ has been an absolute gem in regards to customer service, no complaints there.

I still feel that Fluid is hands down the best shop on the island. If you want guys who know their ...., go there.

I'll have to check out the Vaporium- seems kind of like a rip on LIVE, which bothers me, as I really like the guys and gals over there. Also a great spot.

For anybody interested, I was told that there is a Vape meet at Fluid every second Saturday of every month and that it is generally quite popular with interesting people on most Saturdays. I plan to head over there around 3pm tomorrow if anyone is interested in checking it out.

popped into LIVE last night for some goodies, I was informed they are trying to get a meet going on this sunday of local and not so local vapers to share ideas and have a general get together. I'm almost positive that he said they were shooting for 2 o'clock but i think the time is floating a bit may be a good time to head in and check it out.

He definitely had the iClear 30s when I was there last weekend.

In regards to the MVP- I can't say with 100% certainty if it's V2 but based on my experience I would guess that it is. I will get in touch with the guys over there and find out for you and post up the answer shortly.

Anyone headed over there today? I usually go once a week so I guess I'm due for my weekly visit! I'll be there around 3:30. Tall, (thinning)blonde fatty with the King/nZonic mods puffing on popcorn (EWWWEEW!). Say hi.
