I went to the in laws in Arkansas yesterday. Looked online to see what vape shops were in the area, as I like to meet vape shop staff, talk shop, talk juice, try juice etc. I was shocked to see that there was a LeCig in Dequeen. I drive thru there every trip to and from Nashville, AR. I came back to oklahoma this afternoon, and planned to stop by on the way. I've heard their adds on Alex Jones' radio show, and have heard good things about their Vapriot line. Wanted to try their RY4, blueberry, and apple. They also have chai, green, and sweet tea. I was pretty pumped. I stopped by around 1:30 pm. I went in. The nice lady greeted me. I said I'd like to try some of the vapriot juice. She informed me the juice mixer man had just left, and she couldn't mix. There were a few bins of bottles. The only vapriot they had was menthol. She went to the back and found a reds tobacco 24 mg and an ry4 36 mg. I usually vape 6 mg and some 12. I tried a desert from their imported line. I couldn't taste the ry4 due to the nic overdose. The desert tasted like coffee. Not good. I did, however pick up a package of beyond tangy tangerine vitamin powder. It tasted like garbage as well. I'll try them again, and hopefully catch them at a good time. I understand most of their sales are online. It is a Podunk town in Arkansas. I didn't have too high of hopes due to the fact they carry no mods or any fancy stuff. I'm just kind of spoiled due to the number of shops in my area. The lady at the shop was very nice, and the experience did not leave a theoretical bad taste in my mouth, only a literal one, as I couldn't vape my mod until I stopped for gas and changed my wicks due to the fact it smelled and tasted like I had been vaping fart spray. I was going to try another b&m I have heard good things about, Vapor Hut, in Midwest City, but they're closed Sundays. Oh well, stuff happens.

Dequeen is a tiny little town. It's between me and Texarkana, but I rarely travel south. I am even surprised they have a B&M, it would be like having a B&M where i live....it wouldn't make it. :)

Dequeen proably wouldn't exist except that Tyson Foods has a big processing plant there I think. Chicken biz is what keeps the town afloat.

There are some great ecig stores in Bentonville, AR, there are quite a few up there by Walmart headquarters.....also in Hot Springs, etc. You might try those.

Where do your inlaws live?

I started with LeCig almost 4 years ago because they were at least semi local; cigalikes and pre-filled carts with Chinese juice, yum! :laugh: Of course, that's pretty much what everyone carried back then. Oddly enough, I do believe LeCig has managed to stay afloat long enough to be one of, if not the oldest vape business in Arkansas.
