Cartos are definitely not new technology, but a lot of people are still using them... It seems to me like it's a potato peeler. No frils, but tried and true. I have never used one, but a lot of people seem to still love them.
The natalus bvc head is similar technology to carto tank the way the coil is oriented and wicked. It may be worth a look if you want to support your B&M.

I'll be calling my local shop as soon as they open today and have them order me a black kayfun nano. I was in there last week and I know they don't have one in stock and I also know that I could order one on line probably cheeper than they will sell me one but I really like the shop and the peeps that work there so I'll get them to fix me up.

Talk to them. They will more than likely get you anything you're looking for.

Sadly the shop near me, pretty much sucks. They also carry tobacco and tobacco products, which for me kills it dead. The person who works there, the only person I've ever seen there, has the personality of a clam. The juice they have taste ungodly bad and the few vapor related items, such as tanks and stuff, as well as various batteries are way overpriced. Just a fail on all accounts. Hope someday a real vapor shop opens near me.

How will you ever know if you don't communicate with them? And if they are psychotic clowns... find a new shop!

The pr0n... well.... I'm with ya there!

Vic where are you in Houston?

I try to support our local B&M if we've got "brand" juices we buy (Ed just got some Claim Your Throne last night, I got some Mother's Milk the other day, if they have it, I'll get it there juice-wise) if they have something that's comparable or maybe a little more I'll try to get it there. They've got rent/labor to pay I "get it". The one out here in Pearland, they know their stuff, so it's always fun going there.(Forever Vapes).

there's tons here in the Houston area, maybe just try another (that y'all don't work at *lol*) I've seen a couple evod's here and there, but yeah they've gone the way of rebuildables, kangers and aspire nautilus'

My B&M has been working hard on their interior. He now has a bar (still missing a proper bar top), a pool table, a work station to build coils, 65' television, free wifi, free coffee and a bathroom. He has 8 stools around the bar, 2 high top tables, a couch and a loveseat, as well as a coffee table. It's a comfortable place to hang out and relax.

He also carries a number of well made mod clones and atty clones, as well as most of the factory coils for the popular clearos. He has absolutely nothing for cartos, which is fine I guess, because I have yet to see anyone here using them. He also carries kanthol and the basic eGo starter kits.

He also carries over 100 different flavors from companies such as Mt Baker, Alice in Vapeland, Boardwalk, Bumble Bee, plus a few that are locally made.

Oh, I forgot to mention that he hosts local bands on Friday nights for acoustic night.

My family and I like to stop in at least once a week to try different favors, but mainly because of the atmosphere.



He made a mistake by telling one customer about his plans to open another storefront across the street...the customer took out a loan and made it happen. I haven't been in that shop yet, mainly because of the way he opened his store and it's location.

This is exactly what they told me. That cartos were obsolete and that there was much better technology out there and they showed me a mini natalus. They had not kanger tanks, no carto tanks, a few drippers and natulas all over the place. I really like carto tanks. I do hope that I will be able to still buy them on line as time goes along. I like my IBTanked tanks. Oh well, it just means i do not get the chance to support my local shops.

I don't think they'll disappear from online shops; a lot of us still like and use cartos and cartotanks regularly -- I'm vaping my Blueberry Muffin + dash of Banana Nut Bread in my Smok cartotank because it gunks the heck out of a tiny Mini PT II coil. Vapes great in a cartotank though. :D

Oh lol hmmmmm yeah should I dare to ask about the true meaning?

Bees collect pollen to make honey on their legs. Bees knees just refers to something sweet/good. There's not much to support that theory though, instead it's much more likely it was a nonsensical expression because it rhymed.

Now, would you like to discuss the cat's pajamas?

I don't dare speak of the runcible spoon, why we need a utensil suitable for runciation or why this might contrast with the irruncible spoon with which, of course, one runciates at one's own peril. I have to draw the line somewhere.

Actually i live close to pearland. Where is that shop? The only two i know out there are vapor lair (which is where i went to looking for carts) and vapor sense (i think they sell them but they are closed on sundays and that is usually the only day i have to get out to shop) There is a new shop i found in houston on richmond and weslyan. I went in there and asked and to my surprise they did not even know what a cart was and wanted to sell me a head for a nautalus to put in my IBTanked. However their juice selection was awesome and despite not knowing what a cart was the guys in there were really nice. Its called new element.
