New Member Hello, Looking for stores the NYC area, Next After a Ego-C

[bammbritt]

Hello everyone its so great to find this forum and have the many that I have been lurking on for the 6 months or so this is the one I decided to join. I was a smoker for 20 plus years and have been off them for the last 6 months since I tried my first ego-t. I can't even stand the smell of a analog now and I am so happy that I am free from cigarettes.

I have been trying to find a brick and mortar in Manhattan but no luck, if anyone knows of a retail store please let me know. I have also been trying to find a wholesaler in the area but again no luck. I went to all the wholesalers that carry pipes, bongs, one hitters etc (for tobacco use only) but the only items that they carry are the disposables.

I started on disposables went to the ego-t and now use a ego-c and am currently researching my next move. Any info in that arena would be a great help as there is just so much info to go through and then the time to find a fair price.

Great to be here and I look forward to being a part of this community. Thanks

Where do you order from as of now??

 

[bammbritt]

I order from Vaperite, Vaporkings, and most recently madvapes.

Hey Bammbrit, the new vision ego stardusts are working very good for me, just grabbed 4 more today. 6 bucks each.
The old ones I've got are 'bout 6 weeks old and still going strong with a cleaning/dryburning every 2 or 3 days.
Can't help you with a local shop for you though.

And Welcome to club ECF!

After you get to 5 posts go to the New York area of the ECF. You may be able to get some better advice there. Otherwise, you can look in the Buying/Selling section and in the Vendors section and sort ECF approved vendors by area. Maybe someone that you are not too far from.

Congratulations on your success and Good Luck finding a store!

Hi and welcome to the forum.

My company's headquarters is in Lower Manhattan and I have tried in vain to find a brick and mortar shop down there as I travel to NYC very often. No luck at all. Let me know if you find something! I depend on the internet.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. If I can't find a brick and mortar I might just end up opening one myself! I think with just being able to get very large orders shipped into NY wholesale would really keep the prices competitive. On the other hand the rent would kill you, I guess I have some research to do.

Hitmetwice, I saw the Stardusts I am going to give them a try, where do you order them from? I see your from Canada, what part? My wife is Canadian and we travel up to Ontario quite often, do you know of any B&M stores there?

That leads me to another question, what is the best one stop shop? I see so many retailers but they carry so many different types of items that it I end up ordering from numerous places and taking a hit on shipping or, ordering from one or two and taking a hit on the price of the item. Maybe this should be a new post.

There are one or two in TO that I've heard of, don't recall the locations now.
One way out in Markdale also. We have a local guy just started up in our area,
has a booth at the flea market.

A flea Market may be something for you to look into.
Both for purchasing and for a potential biz. opportunity.(If they exist in NYC?)

I'd love to be able to make a living in the field, it's become
more of a passion than a hobby.

All the best on your searches!

MyVaporStore.com ships from NYC (I think, it's been a while since I ordered anything from 'em)

I haven't found a place that has all my equipment AND my favorite juices! But for equipment I usually go to electronicstix.com or gotvapes.com.

lttle shop of vapors on Long Island.. good folks there..

 

[bammbritt]

Thanks for all the info. MVS had everything I wanted and I place a big order there today, I did get hit with tax though since it was in state shipping. With there prices and discount codes it still worked out really well, and I should have the order really quick.
Brother Frankie: is LSV a B&M or just online?
