I know that 9 South is about 5 min off of exit 58. Still my favorite spot. Sorry to hear you had that bad of an exsperience at Vapors, but I cant say im honestly surprised. They once sold me a Bolt mod woth an 18650 battery, which I brought back in because it felt as if the battery was too big. They decided to jam it on and told me it was all good. Needless to say, later that night while vaping my Bolt, the whole mod got extremely hot. So i disassembeled the whole thing before it blew up in my face. I go check on line and its supposed to take an 18500 battery. I bring it back into them extremely disgrunteled, and all the owner did was giggle and go ''oh sorry. Guess thats why another person had an issue''. That was the last time I've been there. Its a shame to because it is only 2 miles away from my job and convenient. But im ten times more comfortable taking the drive down to 9 South now and not having to rationalize the trip to myself anymore.

I did buy two liquids from Vapors. Desert Ship and Pirates Booty. Both are really good.
Was vaping me some Desert Ship all day yesterday :vapor: Allow me to recommend Captain's Pipe and Black and Mile as well ;-)

Agree on the PB I also like their Breakfast Blend flavor-have you tried that 1?

Haven't tried too many yet. I am excited to get back there. I used to live both in Brick and Toms River. I sure regret not having these stores available back when I lived down there. I will try your recommendations next weekend!

Sitting down, facing forward.
I was at Vapors on Sunday and left VERY UNIMPRESSED! They do have some nice liquids and I did like their version of Cowboy. But my likes end there.

The guy behind the register saw my Vamo and wanted to "look"at it. He told me I didn't know how to use it because, according to him, it was set at 3 volts. What happened was he didn't understand how to use it and reset it to Average mode which also reset the working level and he managed to take it out of watts and back into voltage mode. He did not want to believe me when I told him he messed with the settings and it took someone else, apparently his boss, to get him to believe that.

I did buy some liquids for someone else, two 10ml bottles for sample purposes. I almost told them to keep that when they had to use Scotch tape to hold the caps on the bottles. Very professional and businesslike. They did say they had only been open for six months, but in six months I would have thought they could get the right caps for their bottles. Needless to say the trip home involved making sure the bottles remained upright to avoid spilling.

Moral of the story...holly hit it on the head. BUYER BEWARE at this place.

I really hate to hear about experiences like this, it makes me sad and angry at the same time. I would really be annoyed if I took a long drive down to a store like that, only to be treated like crap by the staff. Not only that, people who are new to this are turned off by this kind of experience, thinking that wherever they go it's going to be the same way. No one should be disparaged or made to feel small just because they're new or don't know much. It's a shame.

For those of you who have had a pleasant experience, I'm glad to hear it, but I guess I'll wait a little longer to hear more about them before I drive the 65 miles down there.

It would be nice to see some shops like that up here in Bergen County. :)

Don't waste the precious time you have going to that place. Save your gas and toll money as well!

Yup, went there with a friend today to get some emergency carto replacments. Another, horribke exoerience. My friend tried to buy a straight carto without holes punched in it...until they wanted $8.99 for 1 of them! But, they sell a 5 pack of DCT replacments for $12.99? I was flabbergasted. Also, it looked as if the guy who was helping me was in agony for having to take my juice order, or because he even had to do anything. Its just gotten worse for me everytime I go into that place.

I haven't been in any of these stores yet, but I'm surprised to hear about sampling the juices. Isn't it illegal to vape indoors in NJ?
I thought I read the law was that you couldn't vape anywhere you couldn't smoke.
I'm not sure what the "actual" law is (or even if there is one) but if there is such a law I can personally attest to the fact that it's not being enforced. In any case there's no nic in the samples so maybe that makes a difference.

They're in most cities in South Korea, Ovale, Janty, Dekang mostly and some indys. Was nice to pop on my motor scooter and catch a store just before they closed if a dripping atty burned out or I was almost out of juice. Second to last town I lived in there called 'Cilgok-gun' literally had around ten plus BnM stores. They tax it as a a tobacco product though and as most of it is imported, the prices were high, like 20USD for 10ml of juice.... But handy in an emergency and yeah, really good for trying out juices before you buy.
