Just curious if all B+Ms are the same?

[Silverdove]

I only been to 2 B+Ms so far and it has not been a good experience. I would love to look around and try some new juices. But am unable to even breath in them. They are so full of vapor clouds that it is even hard to see. Are all of them this way? It is nice to show people about the nice vapor and clouds (if they may be interested in that) but wouldn't it be better to at least put some kind of exhaust fan in to at least take a little of it out. So sorry if this sounds like complaining. It is not intended for that. If a new person who is just wanting to switch for health might would be turned off by this. IMO it would have turned me off if that was my first look at it, thinking my house would be so full of vapor. But thank goodness it was not. We had none close to me @ that time..

Oh sorry, enough of this. My real ??? is, are all of them like this. Am going to try to find some more to look into but have to drive about 75 miles for them only one opened this last year 21 miles away, and it is the worst of the two. Even thou it is a nice place, and helpful. Don't have a very big demand as of yet in this area.. Hope that changes soon. Always when picturing a vape shop it was a place you could sit and try some juice, new equipment and to chat about it all Very disappointed!

I noticed this too. It's worse when it is busy. I found it's better when you go at non-peak hours (like when they first open). But yeah, B&M owners should be pro-active and install good ventilation fans.

They are not all like that. Just keep looking or you can just search the juice reviews here and buy a companies sampler pack.

In my experience with B&Ms, not all of the ones I have visited are like that. Many are, but not all.

No, not all of them. Although, if you think about it, when people are trying out liquids a bit of vapor does get blown around in there. If vape shops could just put in a better air handling system in.... I guess that is not going to happen unless people say something.... <hint, hint>



Love your bird, by the way!

Another thought occurred to me, time of day you're visiting? More people in there = more vapor. ?

 

[NancyR]

No they are not all the same, some are very good, knowledgeable and helpful, others are not worth a second of your time, and you have a full range inbetween. Unfortunately, there is a major shortage of the first type.

 

[samwest]

experienced staff, good selection, no clouds please. Went to a vapemeet and during the cloud chasin' competition I had to bow out. Jeeze what's the attraction. Oh and just because there are billowing clouds of vape it does not mean the staff is particularly knowledgeable in all aspects and sensitive to your needs. I order online and visit BM's just to visit.

If you walk in the door and immediately see a couch or 2 in front of the counter and you can "see" the couches, then you are there during slow hours. Some vape shops lose business simply because they allow a few to hang out and sub ohm all day. People feel intimidated with their newly purchased little ego kits and hurry up in and out without feelin comfortable enough to ask questions about upgrading and such. Sorta like goin into a gym with a bunch of muscle heads. But as mentioned there are others not like that. One here has a room for sales that is semi open to another area for sampling juice and a third separate room for social vapers. I think the thing to do is to provide better ventilation as has been suggested because at peak times you're bound to get fogged up a little anyway. I quit goin to the shops except for emergencies. Online purchasing is easier and more economical.

Thanks that is Keywii and he is a little demon in feathers. LOL

Would it be extremely rude of me to say something to these 2. I am not an outgoing kinda person. Would just like to see more people switch with out thinking this is the way it will be in their houses.
Neither were busy and the one had just one guy in it that was trying some juice. The sales boy (very young guy) was blowing clouds. One after another.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. An efficient air handling system would do wonders.

I bet Keywii is a demon in feathers I can see it in the way her/his (?) eyes are on the camera

This is what I always had a picture in my mind of. Sounds like a nice place. I do most my buying online and DIY my juice except for one I like at the 2 shops. Thanks for the input folks.

The shops I go to are relatively small, which is understandable given rent is based on square footage. Bigger multi-room shops would help. I have not experienced the fogged out vape shop, but then again, being retired, I normally go during the work day.

No. In Greeley, Colorado they've banned vaping in vape shops, and so you won't have that problem there anymore, unfortunately.

 

[skittster]

My local shop is spot on. Run by two decent lads (it's in Abingdon in the UK) and they are always very friendly and know there stuff. It can be a bit daunting going into these places if you are new to vaping and don't really know what you are talking about.
For me it's more worrying when shops have staff in who have no idea what they are selling and give really bad advise. I won't mention the shop in question where this is a regular situation but I would rather walk into a place full of vape but that you know you are getting good kit and advice from than one that has good extractors but the staff are about as much use as nipples on a fish

 

[tj99959]

What I have always found objectionable is cloud chasing and/or foul language from the employees of a vape shop. If the shop can't be professional, you can only expect bad behavior from the customers as well.

That is unfortunate as well as stupid and an infringement. I don't know if it's still there, but I built the fitness equipment for the Ladies Workout Express in Greeley.

 

[roxynoodle]

Love your Caique . Definitely feathered demons.

My local B&M was quite clean over the summer. Then the college students came back and now I can't see a thing when I walk in. I also think it might scare potentially new vapors away.

 

[Vicshalls]

Most of the time I go in it is nice and clear. The only time it is all fogged up is when they are doing a cloud competition. If it was your first time there I could see how it would be bad, but usually there are so many people in there you have to know it is some kind of party. Hell sometimes I wish I did low builds to join one cause the prizes they give out are awesome. Lol

wonder when they will ban drinking in bars....

 

[mcclintock]

All of them I've been to are in some way different. One doesn't even have much place to sit down, but you can try their juices standing up.

Each one's also different at 3 PM and 6 PM.
