where I live there seems to be lots of b&m but all are unequipped with any good products or staff, they all seem to just care about getting you a starter kit and to keep you comeing back for juice and coils. I had enough with them and decided to buy everything online as it ment I didnt have to deal with them, never trusted vape shops whos employees smoke analogs lol. so was comeing home from work last week and the road home was diverted round a one way system and as usual got lost lol. spotted a wee shop with people outside vapeing and noticed it was a b&m, only a few miles up the road from my.

so decided i should call in today to cheek it out and holly c..... its amazing. it has all sorts of mods, mechs, rda, juice, clearomizers, cartos and best of all the prices are out beside everything. the owner was working with another guy and both where vapeing the two new juices they got on a svd and innokin 134. first thing they said to me was man this juice is great and gave me a choice of either mod and said try that stuff. brought out about 80 tester tops and gave me the condom covers and said try away while they talked away about vapeing.

I talked about getting into rebuilding coils and was amazed that he was starting classes and offered me a spot, I was stunned as every other shop I went to never even knew the ohm of there stock coils lol. I thought this only happened in usa and not here. I spent £35 on juice and going back during the week for a class and more juice. over the moon now that I have a vape spot to chill and learn with others. :):):)

I finally stopped at the little beginner B&M shop that sells beginner eGo kits and juice only just to try it out. I tasted some of their juice but couldn't really taste it on the "wickless" CE's they were using. I finally settled on a skittle flavored one thinking it'd be great in my cartomizer. I also bought a lanyard for a friend. They only sell 10ml bottles and they are $7.50. My total costs were $15.50. I was like DAMN! Their flavor choices were run of the mill flavors that I as a DIY'er can make so I wasn't impressed. They didn't mention the pg/vg ratio or ask me what nic mg I wanted. I didn't even think to tell them what I wanted I was so shocked by the price. I got some mystery pg/vg and 20mg nic juice. I vape 12-16mg so it's a bit strong. They don't know anything about mods which I found out pretty quickly when the guy at the counter was speaking to some gentleman who came in and started talking to him. I really need a good shop around here. I won't moan too much about it since I know enough to order online. I just feel I'm missing out on meeting fellow-vaper's and building rapport as well as hearing about news and legs, upcoming meets, and new gadgets coming out. Thank God I have ECF and Youtube!

Sounds like a great place, you're lucky to have a place near you that is so good!. Honestly I know how it feels though, I'm lucky enough to live within 15 minutes of one of the best Vape shops in my area(IMO) it's simply called "The Vape lounge" and they have fantastic coffee(big plus), a large well kept stock of the latest batteries, drippers, mechs, VV/VW devices plus they make all their own juices in-house and anyone who is considering buying a mechanical or getting into it they will personally show you how to make your own coil and coil your device for you with your choice of ohms, not only do they show you how but they will sit with you and teach/give pointers until they feel you're comfortable enough to do so on your own. They also go into battery and device safety at the time they show/teach people how to build their first coil and 90% of the employees are kind and very helpful. One of my favorite features they have is the dripping station, they have 90% of their juices out on a table in the lounge area and anyone with a dripping atty is free to drip and try as many flavors as they care to. It's a really great shop that is converting A LOT of smokers into vapers every single day it's open and that sounds like what the shop you've found is doing as well.

It really is, I'm stunned it was there and so close to me. I gave up on all b&m to be honest and never though I'd find such a nice place with great staff. They get there juice personally made and offered to customize it to my likeing. He even gave me a free sample of the first juice he got made which he named after his first born child, strew berry champaign and it's lovely.

What makes it so good is he is a hardcore vaper like most here and doesn't just look at the shop as profit. He loves what he does and it shows at the end of day, just wish there were more places like this for everyone then more would get into the hobby.
