Brick and Mortar ecig shops?

[gemini2281]

I know it would be nearly impossible for a shop to sustain itself on ecig sales alone but I'm sure there are many shops starting to sell ecig items along with their other inventory. Has any tried starting a database of the physical stores that sell ecig items?

I'm not talking about gas stations or kiosks, I'm talking about stores that actually sell attys, juices, carts and cartos, etc. at reasonable prices.

I haven't seen any yet. But would like to. What I think would go over in a giant way would be vaping bars. Open to vapers and non. Then, live entertainment. And, a store right beside/next to it. This would also snowball the concept, and inform non-smokers that vaping doesn't adversely effect those that don't vape. Risk is soon as you got it up and running, and stocked. . .they'd ban either the juice or equip. What a whaco country, legalize pot, but ban ecigs. Somebody's got their head where the sun doesn't shine. JMHO

Its all about money... Look at all the people that funnel LOTS of money into changing pot legislation.

Totally Wicked has on in Bradenton Florida. It is a good place to hang out, and try juices before you buy them.

Was just there yesterday. They are going to set up some pool tables, a dart board, and i think he said he was considering a pinball machine. And it sounds like they are having a pool tournament for $500 store credit at some point.

I wasn't a huge fan of the juices i tried, but i think my taste buds have been tainted by constant Atomic Cinicide vaping...

Nice people, cool shop.

I'd LOVE to open a vapor bar in Lakewood/Cleveland Ohio area. Very trendy culture here, and tons of bars always full of people, with dozens at any one time standing outside to smoke (no tobacco smoking laws in Ohio...). I think it'd be a huge hit to do something like Volcano Joe did in Hawaii.

Maybe since they are adding CMS to EFC we can sweet talk them into adding a section that lists storefronts that sell ecigs and juices.

We I was looking around learning what was available I found a a few tobacco shops that had e-cigs. They both carried just one starter kit and a few parts for that kit. They really did not know much about them and and a 30ml bottle of DK looking Juice was about $20.00.

I like the idea of starting some sort of list here. Further than that, I think we need to support the brick and mortar stores that are brave enough to take the risk. Yes, their prices will have to be higher than those that sell online, but, they will be servicing a community of smokers that ECF does not yet reach! Many, if not most, of the millions of smokers out there DO NOT even realize that this alternative even exists!

Whatever good fortune brought you to this forum and to this choice, know that there are thousands of people right at this moment who are paying $12 for a pack of cigarettes in New York, not because they want to necessarily, but because they feel they have no choice. They are addicts, just like you and just like me.

We here at ECF are arming ourselves with information to be able to go out there and help others. As stores open up, and they will, we can see that they offer good equipment, juices and directions. Don't doubt that this is just the beginning of a revolution in a smoking lifestyle that has permeated the very fabric of our culture for hundreds of years.

Maybe I'm crazy, maybe this is just a fad that will pass out of style like the hula-hoop. But I don't think so. This really IS a matter of life and death.

Okay, I'll get down off my soapbox now before someone pulls me off....

I want to open a Brick and Mortar in Tampa, have the money to do it, but I would rather be some kind of authorized dealer for one of the bigger online companies.

Kinda like the Totally Wicked store, but a different brand. (although it is the US headquarters for them, and is run by the same owners.)
