Gas station e-cig juice revisited

[SnapDragon NY]

Gas Station eliquids are still better than buying cigarettes! I read it all the time, ran outta juice and had to buy cigarettes instead, excuses-excuses.
When I started vaping almost 4 years ago to quit smoking I bought the Mistic Bridge kits and the Haus eliquids at 24% nic and some of their cartos- worked for me. Within 2 weeks I was cigarette free, no Vape shops here when I started. These things and will power worked for me.
Maybe try a Drug store- our Walgreens has many different types of eliquids if you are not close to a Vape Shop.

I support my local stores. No local vape shops, but whatever little businesses we have. I pay a bit more for sometimes less quality (with exception to the meat market, where it’s a lot cheaper for far better meat) but it keeps the town alive.

The convenience is worth it, and you can’t beat the old school service.

I’d buy the juice. Not always, but sometimes. Keep the guy vape friendly.

While I 100% agree with this, I do have a proviso I feel is reasonable. If I am going to be paying the highest sales tax in the nation in Cook County (Chicago), value added tax for the nicotine, AND sky high markup, you had better be rolling out the red carpet for me and treating me at least like a human being and not like you are going out of your way to take my money.

I realize the whole social stratum differences Chicago has from other cities, but last I checked where a person lives does not obligate them to be dismissive and rude by their very nature. As my Mom is always fond of saying, and we all know Mom is never wrong, it does not cost you a dime to treat others the way in which you would like to be treated yourself, and frankly my local shops downtown have not given me one iota of motivation to do business with them.

There's this one gas station in town I cringe every time I go.

You pay at the window, and up in the top corner, facing the eastern sun, is display rack of over a dozen varieties of juice.

At first, I wanted to say something. But after a while, it became more of a curious to me.

Well, yeah. If I were treated rudely, all bets are off. I’m talking, not Chicago, but my small town. It’s still 1950 here in Ohio. Which can have its downsides, but on the plus, people aren’t allergic to please and thank you and have a nice day.

I’m sure our vibe is weird and creepy to outsiders lol.

I find every locale has its own feel, and usually I do alright wherever I go just by being my outgoing self, even if I stand out like a sore thumb.

But I know what you mean, some people act like they’re doing you a favor, letting you inconvenience them by taking your money. If it were one shop, one person, I could overlook that and shop elsewhere. If it were a city wide thing, I’d have to move. Who wants neighbors like that anyway?

That and sushi would probably go a long way.

Eliquid is tough for me with "max VG" being the only answer I can get about how much PG it has including flavoring. I try to buy mods, tanks and batteries local but I don't buy enough of anything to support anyone.

I'm sick of what has become of butchers with poorly trained meat cutters and factory meat. If it was closer I'd go to the real butcher for more than beef ribs. Some of that factory meat is cut/trimmed so poorly it's inedible, and it's not that much cheaper.

I put over a million miles in my rear view mirror traveling the states before I retired. The friendliest place I found was Kentucky. I couldn't pull over without people stopping and coming up to me seeing if I needed help. Surprisingly New Jersey not far behind. The least friendly state was in the deep South supposedly known for its hospitality. I guess that's just in the tourist areas where they are making a buck. I won't name it as it would be rude.

I have some experience with ecig e-juices and cigarette shaped e cigaretes from gas stations and other chain vendors. At the time I thought it was vaping at its best... I used to go back to cigarettes every week for a day or two until I found real vaping. Such a life changer it is! Would never recommend anyone to buy vapes from gas stations and similar places

I make an effort, in general, to support my local community. For vaping - I am strictly an online purchaser. My local vape shop is awful. Mean, nasty folks. Tried 2 local eliquid places and they did not have what I wanted so I do buy all my vape items online.

I am the type of person that will pay more for the convenience - that is only fair - but I do not want to pay more for less quality - my opinion.
