NEW E-JUICE!
Pink Spot Vapors
Pirates Booty 18mg - This is PSVs take on the classic Rum Runner cocktail. Lots of exotic fruit juices with island rum make this eJuice flavor so good you would walk the plank for just one more drip. WARNING: You may start dressing like Jack Sparrow after vaping this eJuice repeatedly.
Grasshopper 18mg - This flavor is a take on the classic Creme de Menthe based frozen cocktail. I mastered a new take on the original by adding a perfect amount of chocolate and whipped cream while bartending in Las Vegas and recaptured it here with this flavorful eJuice.
Strawberry Champagne 18mg & 24mg - More bubbly and delicious than Beyonce's bottom.

We are completely restocked on Pink Spot Vapor's Other flavors.

Thank you!

I stopped by Saturday afternoon and got my boge cartos and a bottle of strawberry cheesecake. It's soooo nice to drive 10 minutes and get what I need rather than ordering everything and stalking my mailman. I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!

You're welcome! Thanks for coming by. We will continue to add new cartomizers & DCTs as the business demands it. If you have a particular item you want me to stock please let me know. Also, if you have any questions, comments, feedback (good or bad), or requests please PM me, email me (ecigs@frontierliquors.com) or post it in this thread. I really appreciate your business!

Hi John,
I picked up my Ego-C there about a month ago and am very happy with it. It's nice to see and touch a product in person before you buy and your price was the same as what I have seen online.
The gal working was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Thanks Larry for posting in the hoosier forum. I would never have known we could buy supplies locally, except disposables.
I'll get by there with an atomizer one of these days to try some juice.
Thanks,
Liz

Good to see you guys expanded your selection, I stopped back in Feburary and was overwhelmed when first starting out. I think I will have to stop by today and get some juice.

 

[WhitneyG]

I stopped by yesterday and got some boge cartomizers. After I got mine you only had 1 box left. Please don't run out. I love being able to pick up everything I need in one place and not depending on the mailman to get my supplies. The selection you have is good. I wish you could expand the selection or maybe open a store just for ecig stuff. I know that's probably wishful thinking but if you decide to do that in the future I would gladly help you run it. Evansville needs more brick and mortar stores.

 

[m2hound]

I picked up some Boba's Bounty to try. I can safely say new favourite e-juice. Thanks for e-cigs supplies it is nice.

@Whitney We have brick and mortar stores besides the mall kisok and Frontier Liquors?

 

[Bassmanspiff]

So i was in there the other day *the 19th I believe* and was sad that i wasnt able to pick anything up. Whole stock was gone. I saw the flier and it said you are opening a B&M just selling ecigs. I had to run out quick for an appointement so i didnt get a chance to take down any info on the flier. What's the latest news on the new location and such?

 

[Lethalp]

Huh? The entire stock was gone ?? Something must have happened. I sure hope we get an update on this, I am headed to Indy today and was considering making the drive. Glad I saw this

 

[Bassmanspiff]

Yeah, there was a flier that said they were opening up a new B&M store because Indiana passed a law that they couldnt sell ecig stuff out of a liquor store. This is all paraphrasing, and going from memory. I wish i would have taken a pic with my phone because it had the tentative opening date for the new store. bah, may just have to call tomorrow for details.

The short story - We moved! The new location is 1701 Oak Hill Road, Suite E. Behind Walgreens on Morgan Ave & in the same building as Frontier Liquors. Our hours are weird. Be sure to scroll down and check them out.

The long story -

I apologize for not being active on this thread for a while. I was in the middle of a little business hiccup. The Indiana ATC informed me on Wednesday July 18th that I had to discontinue selling e-cigs in my liquor stores within 24 hours. Considering there isn't another store nearby that sells quality products for a reasonable price I decided to expand the venture and open a store dedicated to e-cigs. I opened the new location at 1701 Oak Hill Road Suite E on Thursday, July 26th. We are going to be changing our name to Vapor Bank by Frontier Liquors. I know it's long & kind of silly, but keeping the Frontier on the end makes the accounting/backend side of it significantly easier and cheaper.

Our hours are going to be a little goofy for a while. We haven't done enough business over the past year to warrant staffing the store everyday, and I was given the options of raising prices or reducing the hours until we build enough business to justify staying open more. I decided to go with the shorter hours. There are enough people overcharging for the product, and I don't think that business plan is a good choice for retaining customers.

Here is our current schedule:

Monday - Closed
Tuesday - Closed
Wednesday - 1pm-6pm
Thursday - 1pm-6pm
Friday - 1pm-6pm
Saturday - 10am-6pm
Sunday - Closed

Monday and Tuesday afternoons I will most likely be at the e-cig store, but I can't commit to it due to other obligations with the liquor stores. Feel free to call or stop by. If I am in the store I will have it open. If you have an e-cig emergency (sounds strange, but it has happened in the past) on a day we are closed feel free to call the stores and leave a message for John. If I am available I will setup an appointment with you to meet at the ecig store. You can also use the contact form on our website or the email ecigs@frontierliquors.com to reach me.

We will be expanding our product lines for hardware and juices. If you have any suggestions please send me a PM or post in this thread.

Thank you all for your patience during our transition.

A few photos of the new location. Also, it used to be a tobacco smoke shop. Kind of ironic..


The front. I went all out on the open sign. The store sign isn't nearly as fancy.

What are you supposed to do with the the extra 1000sqft in a unit this size? You put in a lounge obviously..

I am currently our "grocery" sections best customer.. That is really just a collection of my favorite junk foods.

 

[thejohnnymac]

The counter! Very comfy bar stools.

The hardware. I used to fit all of that in a 4 foot glass case. I am really excited to be able to expand our inventory.

The juice. Definitely have room to bring in a few more flavors.

I like the idea of it being in a different location. Mainly because I quit drinking in '95 and felt a little funny going in a liquor store. Other in recovery might not go in at all. The other reason, it looks like you might have room for a local vapers meet. I'll stop and check out the new place as soon as i can. Have you thought of carrying any Halo juice? Have you ever tried any of them? I've got quite few bottles. People seem to either love it or hate it but those that love it really do. Nice to have a local place I can buy things without the wife knowing! I get "the look" from her everytime the mailman brings a package.

I am starting to be convinced that we should have expanded to a separate location a long time ago. We would love to host some vapor meets. When you catch me in the store we can talk more about it, or you can PM me if you have a group ready to go and we can schedule a date. I would be happy to provide some light appetizers, beverages, and door prizes for the first event. I will throw a sign up sheet on the counter for my customers that are interested but aren't regulars on this forum.

We will be adding new lines for juice and hardware. I will put Halo at the top of my list to contact. Thank you for the suggestion. If anyone has any suggestions please send me a PM or post in this thread.

John,

If you would like the Hoosier Vapers club to help promote your event, send us a contact message at our website.

We are even talking about hosting a meet at a club in Evansville in Oct during our club meeting coming up in 7 days.

This month we are helping promote another B&M's event and in Sept we are hosting an event near Carbon Indiana. Maybe we should include you in the Oct meet dicussions?

I'm a Kentucky resident and not totally familiar with Indiana law. Why did the ATC require discontinuation of e-cigs in a liquor/alcohol retail outlet? Anything to do with the new smoke-free law that went into effect July 1? 24 hour requirement seems quite unreasonable to me. Is this common type practice with the Indiana ATC? I do note that that the new Indiana smoke-free law, if I understand it correctly, does not include e-cigs as "smoking". Is the ATC action mentioned some kind of back door effort to demonstrate its displeasure with the e-cig exclusion?

It didn't have anything to do with the smoke-free law. Technically package liquor stores are not permitted to sell e-cigs because they are not actually cigarettes made from tobacco. I will be working with my state organization to have them added to our commodities list, but I expect that will take some time. Since I wasn't allowed to sell electronic cigarettes in the first place their request that I remove the inventory within 24 hours isn't unreasonable.

Please include our store in your discussions. I would be happy to host an event or pre-party for your club at our store. I have started an email list of people that would be interested in a meet. I sent an email using your contact form.

Thanks!
