See that's what I DONT like to see. Why blow huge clouds like that? We are trying to make it legal and acceptable. Not the best approach IMO. But I support the cause anyways, that just brings negative attention to it that is not needed in a crucial time like this.

^Exactly my thoughts too√

Completely agree with this. I've got a good friend out here who's a very successful restaurant owner and owns some nice property in the Chicago burbs. He's got an empty storefront and is giving a vapor shop some serious thought. The one bit of advice I gave him was to do everything he could to distance himself from anything having to do with smoke or cigarettes.
Please stop using Cig or Smoke in your name owners, I completely understand that ecig or electric cigarette helps bring smokers that want to quit in.
If I were opening a shop I wouldn't even consider putting it in my name.I love cigtech as my local shop but damn I hate the name.
vaping is not smoking. Let's keep our distance

Yes. I am always told by my friends, who are able to make a living doing things they LOVE, that I need to have my own vape shop. I am passionate about it and knowledgeable. But with all this regulation and rumors I am hesitant. Once and if it blows over I will consider it more thoroughly.

He actually offered me a piece, a nice piece or at the very least a job with a nice commission. I told him to really pay attention to what's going on with all the BS legislation.
As someone who's been self employed all my life I naturally considered it. I'm passionate about it as I honestly feel it's saved my life but I'd rather wait and let the dust settle before I stick my $$ into anything. I know I can always sell hot dogs/burgers and fries but no so sure about PV's and other related items in a year or two. Vaping has a lot of powerful enemies right now. They look at people like us who are not spending $300+ plus every month. Now we are buying beautiful works of art made by brilliant modders

GP SnP v2 is coming right after we send the pre orders, so estimate 2-3 weeks maximum.

Great news the SnP is what brought me here. I'm sure it's been said before but after finding this thread (which led me to another similar one) I've spent so much money. I'm quite surprised that I did but damn if I'm not completely satisfied and my vaping has never been better. Thanks to all for your amazing knowledge and help. Wish I had come here after only 10 days lol

I would love a vape shop. I considered opening one. But, this area, has way too many shops. They are struggling. They are all trying to 'hold out' for the others to close. In the end, they may all get to the point of 'no return'. Very sad.

I have thought about getting into a vape shop but I am not the best at explaining and still trying to learn how to vape without coughing, lol.

These are going up all over. I think it where I live, it would be easy to open up the best shop in town.

I would definitely be selling some of the best gear available, thats for sure

Increase your VG and drink plenty of water :).

I would employ ♂ and ♀ strippers. Sex seems to be a seller in America :). Aside from the fact that I support idiots and I like their money.

I agree. I think it's hard to get good gear right now. Honestly, I was on a mad hunt for a nemesis after buying and loving my 69 mod( I'll refrain from talking about that company here ) but not being able to find it is what really led me to GP. It's hard to find quality online I could only imagine what it's like to stock a store with high end gear.
A couple of Arizona shops have some quality merch, VapeCentral is fairly new but owned by a guy in LA who has 3 California locations. AZ Vape Club is owned by the ghostmodder who obviously produces mods as well as drip tips. Those guys have some legit connections. I dont think it's easy to get good stuff right now. Stocking a place with Kanger and crappy juices seems to be what most are doing and the owners are making money right now. I'd imagine a lot of money.

Now if I could find a way to be a distributor for GP I'd be all in a heartbeat.

I kid about that though. I'm not here trying to open anything and I'm not trying to break any rules of the forum. I'm quite content with what I do now.

Do love GP though and I haven't even got my Paps yet.

    You would think with the possibility of looming federal regulation the vaping business would slow down, @ least for awhile. If where I live is any indication though, businesses are thriving. We have a minimum of five stores in town, one (the first) now has three stores.

    Here, there is a larger/well-funded store in the town north of me and a larger/well-funded store in the town south of me . They both have opened quite a few stores in the middle, to wipe out any competition. The stores they opened, are not making any money. Their larger/well-funded stores are carrying them.
