B&M open in Minneapolis (finally)

[MMarie]

I walked home from the grocery store using a different route than normal and, at long last, a B&M opened in Uptown Minneapolis. They don't stock any rebuildables as of yet, but the very nice woman said they were looking for suggestions about what customers wanted them to stock, so I suggested something along those lines.

It's a small startup shop so most of their stock is limited to Vision eGos right now, but they're also carrying the eVic and Vamo. I also tried a couple of their juices and they're pretty darn good. Just as any B&M (especially in Minnesota, where eCigs are taxed), they're a little pricier, and although I DIY my own, I'll probably stop in for juice every now and again just to help support a shop in my neighborhood.

Nice to know! Hope they have batteries!

Yup. Spotted some efests in the case.

Excellent, I'll have to drop by and see what's what.
There's also one in Bloomington I've been meaning to check out.

This one is right on Hennepin, just down the block from the Uptown Transit Station, so it's a great location. It's tiny, but I'm hoping they grow a little in the next couple of months.

I haven't checked out any of the suburban stores; they're a little out of the way by bus. Isn't the one in Bloomington in the mall or something? I've been meaning to see if I could get to one just in case the FDA gets in the way of getting nicotine over the internet (although, the 3 year stash in the freezer helps allay some fears of that).

The mall kiosk guys opened a normal store on 85th and Lyndale.
I'm about about halfway between the two

Not much to see but I found their web page:
Uptown Vapor Shoppe

 

[MMarie]

Yeah, it's super tiny, but if poo hits the proverbial fan, at least it's an option!

My biggest FDA worry up to this point has been the deeming regulations may prohibit internet sales of nicotine base, so it's nice to know there's something out there that doesn't mean an hour long bus trip... 85th & Lyndale is a lonnnnng trip for me.

I have also prepared for the vapocolypse, so unfortunately there's not much these stores have to offer me (yet) except a direction to point new vapers to or some emergency gear. But it's comforting to know they are there. Even though I use unflavored I may have to try some of their flavors as they are handy.

Check out Vermillion River E-Juice in Lakeville. They have great juices and carry a pretty wide variety of stuff (even Provari's if you are into that sort of thing...) They do wholesale supply to several of the stores in MN so they seem to have one of the larger selections.

*Sigh* Yet, another place I've been meaning to visit.

I am wary of juices so I use unflavored, however Vermillion has impressed me with their knowledge of how their products are made - above and beyond most I've seen.

Burnsville Tobacco supposedly carries their flavors if you can't make it to Lakeville.

FYI there is a Minnesota Vapers board here on ECF: MN Vapers

I also live in Minneapolis.
Have no interest in shopping B&M.
Ordered a sampler from Vermillion River in Lakeville.
Since it was free it was also tax free.

Would like to check out the Vapers Lounge in Bloomington.
I have enough gear already.
A bunch of juice sample packs, arriving in the mail.
Halo, Johnson Creek, Velvet Cloud, Vermillion & Nicopure juices.

B & M is good for smokers looking to switch. I already know enough, from all the experts around here!

Vape lounge I'm Bloomington is great, worth the trip

Vermilion is amazing, worth the trip if you lived in Wisconsin even

Uptown needs time to grow before i will consider them as a regular stop. And their vamos are called kmax for some reason

I'll probably check out Vermillion next weekend. Girlfriend is out of town.
They were great on the phone.
Shipped my sample out yesterday.
Saturday night I'll be @ the vapor lounge.
Showing off my brand new mini spinner!

 

[known hooligan]

Vermillion's juices are amazing and their people are great too!

 

[ilovehugehits]

My girlfriend ordered a sample too.
I ordered the Kentucky Apple.
She got Kentucky Cherry.
Glad I didn't order from Mt Baker now.
Read about fraud in another thread.

 

[bfrie]

Forget about fraud, mt baker is horrible compared to all the places we have right here in mn

I went for their grand opening on Friday. Nice people. There's another store opening down there soon at Lake and Lyndale (Ecig Crib.)

 

[ilovehugehits]

That's right near me.
They'll make a fortune with all the hipsters.

I stopped by Uptown Vapor today. The guy (sorry, forgot his name) was very helpful. I couldn't decide which juice to get. He said, "Have you tried this?" and "Have you tried that?" Think I tried a dozen samples from the store, lol. Never tried tea flavor before, but I really like the Imperial tea flavor that the guy suggested. Bought 3 10ml juices on special price for $16. Not very pricey. They also have Kangers and Protanks, if anyone interested.

I haven't been to Vermillion yet. Maybe I'll give them a visit next.
