I know a bunch of vapers. Im in minneapolis but currently in bemidji for a few months while i house shop. (Back in mpls)

If youre on fb i help admin a group called minnesota league of distinguished vapers. Theres also a minnesota sub forum here on ecf. (Heck this post may be in that forum but my silly phone doesnt let me know silly details like that. Lol )

At most clubs and concerts i go to theres always 5+ vapers.

It's taking off! I'm older and not as many of us- that demographic is trying to quit and still think ecigs are about a crappy disposable on the convenince store counter. Mostly younger crowd are vaping recreationally. My adult kids are starting to get excited about it like using a houka. Since I'm so into it (got 10 ECBlend flavors steeping as we speak) they ask me about it.

There are few good vaping resources locally. All the tobacco stores here seem to be ownd by middle easterners, using the same distributors and don't seem to understand the demand or juice thing. There's a store in Maplewood they carry Simply Vapour. I've tried their Lasso and Mango Tango Not bad 8 bucks for 7 ml. I've been to E Cig Crib. Pretty nice! Big sectional seating area and tables with flatscreen tv with usually sports on (Go Packers!!) Kinda expensive, but good service and products. They carry Vermillion River juices. Really like formulas and they're out of Lakeville. The nice thing you can try before you buy so that's a real value 9 bucks for 10 ml min size they sell. The sampler carts are 510's you hook up to your battery (My 808's didn't work, but they have courtesy ego manual batteries.) Probably have 100 flavors to try and everyone stands around hiting the carts. There's always a bunch of people when I'm there (kinda like waiting at the cell phone counter.) but no one seems to mind- chatting and exchanging info about vaping. 9 bucks for 10 ml's but since you can try out the juice you know you're not wasting your money. All the shops are either completely north or south. We need a good shop centrally located, like by the University or in Uptown. BTW- My daughter just graduated from UWEC (Microbiology degree in 3 years I might add) How is the vaping thing over there?

Hilarious!! I'm a Marketing Mgr. Our entire dept. just got laid off in Aug. But... my ex and I are friends and he wants me to drive campers out to ND and sell them to the oil boom workers. He pony's up the dough and I do the rest. I've been thinking about approaching him about a shop. My son has already got him into houkas, so I'll just invite him over for dinner and let him vape some good stuff. He's still in the mindset of crappy disposables. Sure there's overhead and comittment to leasing a space, but the inventory would be the same as a camper!



Yes. Uptown needs one badly. Ive talked with people about opening one but none of us have the funds :(

Were all just a bunch of broke 40 year old retail. Management. And marketing people who love to vape and cant ride our bikes to anoka.

Pretty nonexistent. There is no place in the area to get anything other than the typical gas station diposable crap.

If I had the means, I'd open a vape shop, I think one would make a killing.

I live in Burnsville.

We were having meets every other month, but they kind of fizzled out. If no one resumes scheduling them after new year, I plan to take up the cause.

So, if you're in the MPLS area, or would be willing to come down on a random Saturday or Sunday afternoon, drop me a line!

None in uptown? Yup I believe it. There's none in downtown Minneapolis either :yawn:

Im in South St. Paul. My local tobacco shop carries some OK liquid, but overcharges. I haven't been to any shops in town, I think there are at least two though. There is a kiosk in the Roseville mall that carries a good locally made eliquid. Called smokeless smoking. Their 503 Blend 4 is a really tasty RY4. Their prices for liquid are not too bad. Carry the lavatube there, and eGos, and minis. Didn't buy any hardware from them.

I don't get out a whole lot, but definitely do not see other vapers anywhere I go. I swear Im the only person in South St. Paul. All of my bars know me and don't have a problem with me vaping there which is nice.

I use mostly Volt gear these days, though I do have a few old eGos tht I just bought a Vivi Nova for.

Hi Neighbor!! I'm actually across the street from Plymouth city limits. Kids all went to Wayzata. I just vape on kr808's do you use the big boy hardware? I've been thinking about it, but what I liked about analog smoking was the ritual.

Howdy neighbor. I'm off of 169 and Rockford.
I tried to get into vaping about a year or so back, using an Ego and regular carts. Was completely unsuccessful. Just started again a couple weeks back. I'm now almost 3 full days without a puff of a stinky, using a Knight Rider/Lavatube with a Cartomator tank, and IKV Fusion 801 Cartos. Loving it!
