Just got back from checking out the store. LOTS of potential. Great location.

Anthony is awesome. Knowledgeable and great customer service.

Make sure to tell your friends and family, let's support local business and build a NOLA vape community.

Agreed, can't wait to see what the future has in store

Pretty sure I had my first nicotine OD today too. Too much vape, too many clouds in the morning at smoke cignals and in the car, went home and threw up.

It's my day off, gimme a break. :)

Sounds like it, I've never thrown up from being nic sick though...then again I vape a lot and switch up my nic strengths if I start feeling it bad.

36 all day, but i still have analog cravings so i'm trying to cope.

ever try a genesis atty josh? the nicotine hits you harder....might help you with the cravings.

if i'm ever around in the shop BSing with anthony you are more than welcome to try one of mine out pending you have a drip tip to use on it...

if we get a vape meet goingon in NOLA i think i might hold a class on atty modifications and rebuilding, might help the community here if they know a few more tricks...i've already determined that i can apply mesh wicks to pretty much anything :\

So I just found (or at least noticed) this gem of the FDA doing it wrong when it comes to all things e-cig.

fdawrong.jpg

This is on the FDA's site here

I don't know if any of you got to watch the webcast of the public hearing on Monday, but the FDA had ridiculous unanswerable questions for the e-cig folks. This was immediately following singing the pharma boys praises.

One question was asked about how, with a short sample (of approximately 6 years of US use) people could substantiate the safety of electronic cigarettes and e-liquids. No one answered the question with the question of: How long BP is required to test new medications, or more substantial to the conversation, how long they had to test gums, patches, etc?

It's the idiocy of the government friend....don't even get me started on the gun confiscation....

Sorry about the Butterscotch. I'll be honest, I like it, but it's a bit sweet for an all day kind of thing. That said, I have customers who swear it's the greatest thing ever and it's all they vape. I have a cart of it in my case right now, and I think I've taken 20 hits off of it in the last three days.

I honestly can't say that it's bad, I just can't put my finger on it. Sometimes I think there are just notes triggering something in my brain that I can't explain, and so it just doesn't suit me for whatever reason. It's certainly not any worse, and maybe better than most of the others I have tried.

Anthony you should carry plain jane boge 3.0 ohm Standard Resistance 510 atomizers....

I'd be happy to stock those for you. I've personally always found the Smok Tech to be a little more consistent, but I know there are plenty of Boge people out there. I think arguing Boge vs Smok is like arguing Coke vs Pepsi. There's not really a right answer (Coke is obv better).

I'll let you know when they're in stock.

Awesome. I'm a coke man myself.



I think my main pet peeve when it comes to vaping right now is that I get my supplies from so many different vendors.

Atomizers from one place, prepunched cartos from another, regular juice purchases from 2 others. I have a list of what I need to order/have coming in.

I have some prepunched carts right now, what do you usually use for those? Also you don't have to buy juice anywhere else :p.

I obviously won't be able to stock every possible item in this industry, but the online store had pretty much always been a juice store with some supplies for people who were happy vaping ≤ 3.7 volts. I knew that once I opened up here I'd have to offer a wider range of supplies, so I'm still figuring out what all will be stocked.

Smoktek redux clearos and the replacement heads would be something I would like you to stock.

Not Vision, but smoktek redux..................I like them better:)

Redux is easy enough. Should be here next week.

Since we are making requests....

Kanthal (28 and 32), #400 ss mesh, 3mm silica wick.

...I would not have to go anywhere else for general supplies at that point....

Matt, I'll need a little lead time on this stuff. Over the weekend I had already decided that I'm going to carry an RBA tank. I'm talking to a manufacturer about it, and I'm probably looking at February before I'd be set with that the biggest point of contention is getting pyrex. The tanks I'm looking at are polycarb standard, but I already have polycarb in DCT, Vivi, Artemas, and of course the D-Tank which I've pretty much decided I'm tossing in the trash. Once I have the rebuildable, I'll also have all the goodies to go with it.
