Mall kiosk

[Truckndad]

I was at a mall near where I live there was a ecig booth there so I stoped to see. I didn't let them know that I vape at first I wanted to see what they offered. Then I pointed out that I vape and thought that my MVP was huge and bulky ( but I enjoy it ). They have a mod called the ego monster they let me take my tank and try it, I asked what the vv was set on he says it's on the lowest setting, I said are you sure I don't want to burn my coil, he told me he was sure it was so I took a hit and all I got was a burnt taste I told him it was to high he then Tryed it and re adjusted it, I am not sure if I want to buy any thing from them if they can't be " let me check the settings" I think I will stick to the b&m and on line I think. Any similar things happen to anybody else?

I had fun with a kiosk guy once. They only sold cigalikes (can't remember which, but it was some proprietary threaded garbage) and I went over to check it out. Didn't tell him I vaped, just let him go through his sales pitch, tried the thing, told him it was terrible. Then I pulled out my Ego loaded with HHV Gandalf, sales pitched him back, and got him to try it. He agreed his stuff was terrible after he tasted what good juice was.

I've done the same thing. Overpriced e-cigs and ego-type batteries; even an electronic cigar. I happened to have my Provari with me and pulled it out after he did his sales pitch for his garbage. He wouldn't try it, but I puffed a cloud and went on my way.

I know others here have posted some negative things about the kiosks, and in my experience they generally don't know as much as someone who works in b&m shop.

Although I did stop at one kiosk with a friend once and the guy there was tinkering with his mech mod and we actually had a nice little chat about vaping this and that, but I think that's a rarity. And everything was overpriced. He had some cigalikes but also a few ego style batteries and some Innokin stuff, like the mvp, vtr and 134. All ridiculously expensive.

Hahahahah l. Yes. I had just walked by a kiosk and stopped to buy some wicks for my plastic h2 tanks. They sold a very similar but slightly different form of tank. I didn't really want to buy 5 wicks and them not work, but the employee literally took my cig off my lanyard around my neck, unscrewed the bottom and looked at the wick and assured me theirs would work for me.
I get home, sure enough they don't work. I go to the B&M the next day to get some sort of refund or exchange or something. I mean he took it off my neck and said they would work. They gave no refund of any sort. I won't be going back to their shop needless to say.

The mall kiosk here in Jax Florida is trying to sell "authentic" nemesis mods for over 200 bucks. I informed him that the logo didn't even say nemesis, and promptly pulled my hcigar nemesis clone out to show what a nemmy is supposed to look like. Worse knockoff I ever saw... I would have reported him to mall management or something if I wasn't worried about tarnishing the image of an already fragile industry. Didn't want that mall to ban ecig businesses or something drastic of that nature. Haven't been back to the mall since that day, think I will this weekend to see if it is still being sold.

Well, I kind of like the Mall Kiosks. That's a "vapor friendly" area. Once, my family and I just got through with eating at the food court. I told them "one moment", then I went upstairs.. there was a Greensmoke booth. I pulled out my Vamo, and vaped for a bit while staying near the booth. Nobody said anything about it, not even mall security. I'm sure something would've been said if I would've started vaping in the food court.

I really think its rude to vape in areas where people are trying to eat... Anywhere else in the mall but the food court..

I talked to the guy at my local mall, he was in the process of selling an innokin mvp for 180 bucks. I pulled out the authentic hammer and took a few puffs, Needless to say he somehow lost his sale. Strange.

One of the mall kiosks here in town had a very knowledgeable employee. He really knows his stuff and is an avid vaper. He wasn't there the last few times I went to the mall, and I figured he'd moved on. About a month later I stopped by one of the higher-end shops in town and there he was behind the counter. I definitely complimented the owner on making a good hiring decision!

And FWIW, that same mall kiosk sold a bunch of 510 dripping atties for $2 each. Score!
