He waited until I was turning to go when he let it rip, come to find out later that I wasn't the only one he'd gotten physical with. The mall security guard wouldn't go into details but that was the last straw, he was escorted off premises and banned from returning. The guard couldn't keep from smiling while he was telling me.

God bless Tx. :)

While it may seem like they overcharge remember that they also have a lot of overhead which is part of why their stuff costs so much. That being said I truly believe they should educate their employees a lot more than they do!

I won't argue that mall store space costs more. That's a given. But I seriously doubt that a 4x8 kiosk is so incredibly expensive that it would justify the pricing. No way. There is a local store here that blows the kiosk prices off the map - and they only carry decent wares. They are located just off the beach in the heart of tourist alley on Panama City Beach. They have a normal full sized store. There are 3 people that work there. The kiosk is owner-operator.

So much for the mall rats.

Based on this line alone, if I could hit "Like" more than once, I would be wearing out the mouse button on that post.

I also feel mall kiosks serve a better purpose- it makes the mall vape friendly. If they go out of business, its another place we cant vape in public. Go sit down somewhere you can be seen near the mall kiosk and let the people see you with the working product. If they get curious tell them more!
There is nothing wrong selling lesser products at higher prices. It keeps the store there. Someone has a job, and some of the employees actually are helpful. I got my first 2 e-cigs at convenience stores. I stopped by the mall kiosk and the guy asked if I knew I could refill my cartos? Then he showed me how! I bought a 10 ml 24 mg bottle of rebranded juice for $12.99. I then decided to e-bay for juice, but found e-bays anti cig policy included e-cig, which led to another search, which led here....
I went to another local mall that was outrageous and uneducated. So I asked the employee technical questions. He had to call HQ to get answers. I then told him where to get the info online etc... When I went about my business, the guy at the phone kiosk asked me about my Riva... Turns out he bought an e-cig from the guy next door, but wanted more info. I gave him leads.
So I guess my point is: make the best of it. When we get a bug up our butts to get something, we do it impulsively. Its a beginning. Its a learning experience, and also, how can you know if something is good, if you never tried something bad? People who WANT to quit smoking will keep trying, once they learn the principle of the thing. Its a mall kiosk. That means something better really is out there. Go find it!
But I'm glad I didnt get the $500 FireFly kit the 2nd mall was selling....

I saw a guy selling 510's for $150 and 10ml of liquid for $26:evil: He was all smiles til I took out my ego :vapor:
