Oh, there you are. Everything good? Congrats on the "real store". Good things happen to good people.
So far so good! (just remind me never to move and open a business in the same week again lol)

AJ told me you were here. Was starting to wonder about your absence, glad it was something good.

Thank you my friend!

oh my....let me know if you're hiring....it would be an awesome 2nd job.
I will probably be hiring towards the end of summer. But you should bring a resume now. Never know what could happen.

Best wishes on the venture, Mac!!
Thank you kindly, my friend!

Did you really think you could slink away, put on a business suit and we wouldn't find you??? Hah! Now let's get this party started.

Got pix of the new store? Inside/Outside? Balloons, champaign? (Balloons not inportant, liquid very important). We have curious minds.
Pics coming soon. Just waiting on a few displays!

Congrats Mac!!!!
Thank you, my friend!

We could sure use something like that in Los Angeles.

Congratulations!
Please expand soon, Mac.
Thanks dude! I hope to but Cali is so far! It might take me some time..

That Smok device looks eerily like my Provari. Neat! It had to happen one day. BTW, congrats on the store, Mac!
The Vmax is no joke! At 6 volts this thing really cooks!

Looks like I have a destination today. I needed to get out of the house anyway!
Awesome! We have some neat toys!

Cool Variable voltage device

Re-buildable atomizers coming soon!

THAT is a very cool looking device!

Grats on opening your store. I wish it long life, long lines and a bottom line firmly in the black!


If I didnt live thousands of miles away, I would definitely be on your doorstep far too much for you to be comfortable with.

I have always shied away from non realistic devices but I must say. After this last few days I am hooked on 6 volt vaping!

Thanks! I suspect that we will see more and more operations like this popping up as e-cigs become more trendy and popular.

I am now starting to understand why the variable voltage crowd like carto's over dual coils. Although the vapor from the dual coil is hotter, the plume from a single coil is noticeably thicker. So if it's not all about throat hit for you I can see where these preferences come from. I have however noticed (using a 5ohm carto right now) that you have to top off like 2 times faster then using standard res/volts. The one drop per 10 puffs formula that has almost always held true on standard stuff (for me, everyone draws different) will leave your carto tasting charred. Seems like the new rule of thumb for me will be a drop for every 5 puffs. With refills taking place every 10-20 puffs.

Here and back
Listening to you Mac, makes me think I need to get a job, even briefly, at an e cig store. I think we all would for at least a week, free of charge if we could experiment.

I was thinking about your store today, I haven't been in the big city for months and months (big city being Asheville) so I purposely walked the mall to find e cig vendors and see what was on offer. Nothing except for a pipe/ cigar store that had some horrid name brand I will not mention here.

Still would love to see pictures. I'm very excited for you and us too. The more you go out there "in your face" so to speak, in the public eye, the more accepted we'll become.

Thank you from all us vaper-ers for being on the front line.

I owe it all to the ECF! Without this forum I wouldn't have found a 10th of the cool toys I have. I came here for the info, I never expected to make so many friends! ECF ROCKS! All I can really tell you is that it has been totally my pleasure to vape for a living and I hope I never have to stop! :)

Congratulations, Mac!!!! :)

If I can make a suggestion, get some bottom fed mods. The tube kind, not the needle ones. I love my VV Hog and if you can offer something like that in your store, it will be pure gold.

And juice....I wonder if Don would be interested in selling Backwoods Brew in an actual store...

So many things to consider... I wish you the best of luck, Mac!

Congrats Mac! I know right about where that is, nice old brownstones in a beautiful part of Norfolk. A great spot for a great business. I am always happy to hear about the opening of a brick and mortar store, especially if its peopled by knowledgeable professionals. The Tidewater Area is lucky to have you Mac.

Thank you! There aren't many mod makers that wholesale. I'm willing to consider anything. Who makes the "hog"? I have heard nothing but bad stuff about self feeding which is why I went with tanks. (a 5mil tank accomplishes pretty much the same thing, no?) Also, I'd like to think our juice is pretty damned good. Hopefully you will see some reviews popping up soon!
