I went to the mall nearest me today and someone had a kiosk with vaping equipment. She had a large variety of batteries (egos and mods, etc) and loads of clearos, cartos, etc, and juice. The thing that amazed me the most is that her husband was the smoker. But she had decided to read read read and became up to date on not only equipment, but also Politics!!! And Health discussions, and motives. It's just amazing to meet someone by chance who has developed an awesome business model like this one. (she actually knew what ohms were!)

This was in the Gulf View Mall in Port Richey in Florida.

Yep the two local B&Ms we have are the same way.. $70 for the KGO starter kit, where I found the actual Kanger Evod kit for $23.99 from an online store thats like 30 minutes from me.. Not even going to give their juice a chance, as the one place I went charged me $15+tax for a 15ml bottle that wasnt even that great to begin with..

Being overseas I haven't seen the actual B&Ms but from looking at a lot of places online, I think a lot of these places are buying from the same places that we do and then doing a heavy mark up. Most of them have a very limited selection. A few show how many are in stock and it isn't very much and a lot of items are out of stock. Many of them are just trying to catch a ride on the newest money train and don't take the time/effort to research and learn it. It's great that people want to have their own business but they need to know what it is that they're doing. If they don't maintain a reasonable inventory at competitive prices they aren't going to stay in business very long. Their sales will consist of the occasional newbe that hasn't shopped around or the guy that needs something right away and can't wait for it to ship.
