Hey guys wanted to chime in on my experience today at the store Vapors in Brick. I live about 25 miles from that place. I took a trip today down to seaside and figured on the way we could hit that shop. Great, right on the way perfect.
Juice testing area is awesome. Nice little store, perfect for a vape shop. The employees are very nice.
The staff is not knowledgeable at all. I've only been vaping for a little over a month and my knowledge by far exceeds any that they have. I bought 2 juices. 2 mini vivi nova tanks. 2 sweet designer tips for the vivis. And a smoktech e-pipe kit for my father for Father's Day which is tommorow.
Spent $110 bucks.
I'm vaping in the shop with my eVic. Obviously I must have some knowledge to be walking around with a mod. I went in with intentions on Buying a fully rebuildable tank like a cobra or an AG. A guy was helping me at that point, I told him I'm looking for a fully rebuildable, he takes me to the vivis and ce5s. I go into more detail and throw out the cobra name as an example and Zen as an example. This guy didn't know what I was talking about. The girl working there did and she jumped in and tells me they are getting them soon. Ok great.
So I go onto looking at the epipe kit for my pops for Father's Day. Now she's explaining how to charge a battery. .... Like I said I'm standing there with my eVic in hand vaping in her face. Duhhhh I must know how to charge a battery.
While that's going on a kid about 17 walks in and his vivi wasn't working anymore. His atomizer crapped out on him. So instead of them selling this kid a new atomizer, they told him you need a whole new tank. That's just wrong, and I should of said something but I didn't.
Long story short we get in the car to leave and my wife goes to throw on her vivi mini and tells me it doesn't fit on her ego T. I take it from her and sure enough it doesn't. It didn't have any threads!!!! The ones they sell aren't in boxes and don't come with the 2 xtra atomizers that you get normally. So I go back in and they give me another one. That's the first thing against them.
I get home and decide to charge the 18350 battery for the epipe kit so my pops can vape away when I give him the kit tomm for Father's Day. Glad I did charge it. I said lemme try this thing out before I give it to him. Well in the kit they gave me a button top 18350. I put the battery in after charge and throw on a tank I have filled. Fires without me pushing the button. I unscrew the tank and screw it back on, same thing, firing as soon as the tank makes contact. So I take out the battery and check out the fire button. Turns out this mod needs a flat top battery. The button top makes contact ALL the time! THEY TOLD ME WE SELL TONS OF THESE KITS. BS, if they sold tons they would of gotten tons of complaints.
That place is garbage, if you don't have any knowledge they are rip off artists. I will not be returning to that store. If I can't get a battery in the morning they pretty much ruined my Father's Day gift.
