Love my local vape shop!

[VintageModMan]

Alright so last month my Tesla wood 160w mod decided to burn up after about a month of normal use. The local vape shop in town is filled with great guys. One of which I knew prior to him working there. He said he would keep an eye out for a cheap mod for me. Fast forward today and he shoots me a facebook message and sends me a picture of a mod. Asked me how I liked it and told me to swing by the shop. I received an IVP5 mod. Here is how he got it.

A random disgruntled customer walked into the store so ...... off because of this piece of s@$t mod and slammed it on the counter. Kept going on about it while a few mods were recommended to him. He chooses a smok alien mod with a baby beats and tells my buddy to just throw the old post away. So my buddy walks to the back sets it down waits for him to leave and goes to cleaning the mod, looking it over. All that was wrong with it was that the tanks glass was broken. The mod was 100% a okay. He tested it for a good hour no issues or hiccups. So he had me pick it up! So I Got a free mod I was pretty stoked!!!

Cool!

My local is great as well. I have no problem paying a couple bucks more for gear as they take care of me.

I love the ability to try different juices at one of my local shops but they literally have everything at 125% mark up

Agreed. I buy most of my stuff online but will buy the odd thing at B&Ms if the pricing is close.

My wife is a relatively new Vaper and is still interested in trying different flavors. We buy the odd ridiculously overpriced bottle for her but I generally make our juice.

I will usually buy a bottle from them then order it online if it's something I'm going to want more of

We have a great shop fairly close to us. Yes, their eliquids are fairly expensive (at least, to us - we usually order from VapeWild and Mt. Baker Vapor), but they are delicious, and an indulgent treat for us on holidays and birthdays.

The staff is knowledgeable, and they do not try to sell you on anything that you do not want or are not ready for. The daughter's boyfriend was having trouble with leaking from the tank on his subox. He did not take the tank so that they could look at it - he had dropped it a few days before, and thought there was a tiny crack (turns out he needed to change the coil - he finally listened to me a couple of weeks later, and was amazed. Just because I am old does not mean that I am stupid). Anyway, he thought he needed a new tank. They sold him a Herakles, at a price comparable to online. He loves it, and alternates it with the tank that came with his subox. My daughter decided the same day that she might want to try a new tank. They sold her a Nautilus Mini, again at a price very close to online pricing. She loved it, and is still using it. Funny thing is, that same day I started checking into Nautilus Minis. We are now both using them, and very happy.

This shop could have ripped them off bigtime - I am retired, and do most of the vaping research since I am home. I am really very happy that they have found a place that will help them, and charge decent prices.

That's what's cool about having a good shop near you if you get backed up by the local guys. If you have issues with an online order and its out of Warranty forget about it. I like building relationships with people like that. I have gotten free e-liquid on multiple occasions just because they ordered to many samples. One of the guys at the shop vapes 0 nic. So he has bottles that he got and had dripped out of to try it and if he isn't a fan he will message me and have me swing by the shop and try it and see if I want it free of charge . Yes I do a little shopping online and diy. Some juice but I buy coils and juice firm time to time. I bought my Tfv8 there for 50 bucks.

It is what you make it I love supporting my local vaping community. They are about it too doing community events and keeping everyone updated on regulations. I know it feels like we are fighting a k posing battle but there are still people who care about it!
