Lousy Vendors

[Delarob]

Right around Christmas I was at the local mall in Delaware and there was a E-Cig kiosk. Wasn't buying anything but I decided to stop and look anyways. Guy was going through his ritual and I just pulled my setup out and held it up. So then he starts in on his juice that was superior to all others. I asked him what he had in pure VG as the PG causes a reaction with me. He says, oh no, you can't get that.

Cue the ... look on my face.

Um, yeah you can I say to him and he says he's been in the business for several years and has never heard of anyone selling it. The only thing you can get is a lighter mix of PG. So now I'm intrigued. Do tell I say to him. He says the PG is where all of the flavor and vapor comes from and the, get this, "VG kerosene" cuts the mix.

Kerosene.

He says he wants to see where I'm getting my juice from but that I shouldn't believe whats on the label.

OOOOOOk. I tried to send an email to the parent company about this guy but no response. Their online chat doesn't seem to work either even though it states online 24/7.

As I walked away I could only shake my head and feel sorry for the people that get caught up in his BS.

Makes you wonder how many people have turned away from starting to vape because of uneducated people working these type of kiosk's........ Sad, isn't it?

wellllllllll ..... he works in a mall kiosk .... so ya gotta give him a break

but he is "a little" right .... 100% VG is a lot of times a misnomer, because PG IS a flavor carrier in some flavors. Reputable companies will always point this out in their juice descriptions, and identify which ones are TRUELY 100% VG ... but quite a few companies tout their juice as 100% VG when they really mean 100% VG (except for the added flavorings).

As for the Kerosene thing .... God only knows where that comes from .... maybe it's to offset the anti freeze that everybody I run into just KNOWS e-juice is made out of.

i vape kerosene all the time. It gives great clouds. haha

Velvet Cloud is a good example of no PG, but yeah, I get your point.

And yes, I will agree a bit with the mall kiosk and you get what you get at the mall, but I fault the parent company for not making sure their product is being represented by only knowledgable staff.

I forgot to mention, their SUPERIOR e-juice was $20 per 10 or 15 ml bottle. OOF!!

then it must be laced with gold shavings and taste like the heavens... in reality it probably tastes like poo.

While driving home, I decided to check out a smokeshop that I saw on yelp. It was listed as an awesome place so that got me intrigued.

They had an area where you can test their HOME-MADE juice and all. And he was boasting about how good their juices were.

I told him that I can't vape anything with more than 20% PG in them. He said ok no problem. I asked him to show me the juices made with mostly VG. He asked me what is that?...

stumbled across a new little ecig liosk here in bangkok. They had some evods that I have never tried before. I inquired about them and the shopkeeper went on to tell me that they were disposable and he just threw them out when they stopped working. and why? because he was unable to unscrew the coil unit...

We have a "Smoke Free" kiosk at our local mall. I stopped by to check it out. The salesman really tried to put the hard sell on me. Turned me off from ever stopping by again.

It also comes in handy for heating a room in subzero cold.

I expected to have a bad experience with a kiosk I went to the other day. But it wasn't bad and the kid seemed to be somewhat intelligent. Yes he was trying to sell but that's his job. When he asked what I had and I showed him my provari he gave up. Said I already had the best lol and the only thing worth looking at was juice. 100% pg of course. I said I like more vg and we talked about the difference between the two for a few minutes. Kinda cool talking to a fellow vaper who has a small grasp on thing like me

 

[Delarob]

That's the way it ought to be.
