I am on my own now...

[PRIMER]

I was at the B&M yesterday when I realized -

I have outgrown this place.

It seemed like such an amazing place a few moths ago. I has going and buying new stuff every other day, testing flavors and gear. Now I have learned how to clone the flavors I like in my DIY lab. I have moved on to dripping and RBAs, and my tastes have shifted toward mechanical and specialty mods. This time I was there looking only for SS 500 and kanthal, neither of which they carry.

Goodbye B&M.
If we never meet again, I will miss you.

Yep, I remember the first time I went in a brick and mortar. I thought it was the best thing ever. Now I mainly vape DIY flavorless in a Penelope or kayfun on a GGTS and have no reason to even go to one anymore.

 

[GreekLion]

its always good to have a backup solution or a place to refer people.

for ecigs to take the place of tobacco, a retail-only product, b&m is essential.

Sadly, I outgrew mine when I got a Twist.

after spending money left and right it's nice now that I spend hardly any. I estimate I could go a full 10 months and not spend a dime. If I do spend any it would be for diy flavors for new recipes or a real "game changer" in the area of rba's.

I wish I had a B&M near me. I can't tell you how many times I've needed a pack of cartos or a cheap atty until my stuff comes in the mail.

 

[SunnyMoon]

I wish I had one near me too. I think the closest one is a 2 hour drive from my town.

 

[Rocketpunk]

My b&m has saved my life more than once. Well, not literally. Well, maybe literally in the long run, heh heh. But it's so wonderful knowing if I'm down to my last carto, all I gotta do is hop in the car, drive 15 minutes, and bam, new cartos. Saved me some majorly stressful days.

right there with ya.

altho my local b/m is a Vaperite...and they carry good stuff, the staff is awesome. Once they were closed and I had just gotten my VAMO in the mail and needed batts and a charger...so I ran up there (2 miles from home) and they were closed and had been closed for close to half an hour...but they let me in and sold me what i needed.
BUT the deal was that they could get a pic of me begging at the door for their facebook page...a deal i was glad to make,SO if you go onto the Vaperite facebook page and see a guy begging to get in....yep thats me

so even tho i am doing RBA's and Hybrid's and there is not much for me in there I still pop in from time to time to hang out with the new people and taste the flavor of the week.

 

[Rocketpunk]

That's one other thing I forgot to mention: the camaraderie. Like most others, our b&m is set up like a lounge, with comfortable couches, Pandora, a video game system, a big screen TV. Yep, you're not only allowed to chill and vape and chit chat, you're encouraged to. A great way to meet or network with other fellow vapers.

Yep. What I buy from there is very little. But it is great to have it there so I can take my converts there to get them started. The first 90 days I vaped, that is all I got anything from. Now, it is an occasional replacement coil or something like that. But I am grateful for them being there, I might not have quit without them....

Just saw it. Should definitely be your avatar pic!

 

[FogHawg]

Yeah me too. I realized it the day I asked for prepunched cartos & they didn't know what I was talking about. No big loss IMHO because they were very snooty anyway. It's still very much a baby industry & I do believe the retail aspect will get better.

That's one of the most awesome things I've seen in a while.

Wait until your state banns internet sales.

Don't laugh .......... it's coming
CASAA: URGENT! Utah Bill to Tax E-Cigarettes and Ban Online Sales -- HB372 (UPDATED)

Our B&M's are now talking about moving out of the state. Internet trade is just to large a portion of their business to stay here. So there will be NO B&M's, and NO internet sales.

good ole republican government that thinks government is to large, hates taxes, and has to much control of our lives
Nancy Pelosi will be very proud of them

 

[Butters78]

Last time I went to my store here they sold me an EA. I hung out for a while it was pretty cool.

Odd thing though is that a few of them were using stacked batteries in bolts and SB's. I showed them my kick and all but they didn't seem interested heh.

 

[scabbytattoo]

Ya once I got an RBA nothing much to go back for I do like some of their juices but there are a few online places I like and I think 2 or 3 other juice makers in my town so spreading the monrun around right now.

 

[StevesCVO]

Same here. I do stop there from time to time and try the new juices they come out with. I'll buy a bottle of juice or two because they have some I really like and get coils when I can't find them online.

 

[pkj]

I only use B&M for emergency situations, of which I have not had one in 2 + yrs.

 

[bizmitchel]

ya honestly, the B&M by my house I thought was sweet when I started going there as they had fair products. They however are way over priced, vamo for example is 80$ for the tube alone!!!!!!!! and most of their juice is close to a dollar a ml(and though they don't tell you most of theirs are dekang juices.....yikes, steep. I asked if they where going to get any nice RBs in and they said, if we sold RBs no one would ever come back......so in a pinch it's nice to have a spot to get things in emergency, but costs way to much
