Light Rail Stop: Camelback & Central
Parking: Lots of parking in Sun Up's parking lot.

Great food at Sun Up, please consider having lunch and a drink (or two) there so we can continue to have our meets there for free! The kettle chips and chipotle ketchup are out of this world, they brew their own root beer, and they make a great buffalo burger! More info about Sun Up is available on their Website!

Local suppliers are often in attendance so you can buy liquids, atomizers/cartos, drip tips, mods, etc. Desert Vapes usually shows up loaded for bear, and we've also had recent apperances by Kidney Puncher and J Vapes from Prescott. If you have something to sell or trade, bring it along! If you DIY and have a juice you're proud of, bring some and let folks try it!

Raffle News - We will have our usual raffle drawings (please consider bringing something to donate for our drawings, vaping-related or not!) and as always, we'll have our 50/50 cash pot drawings from the money brought in from raffle ticket sales. Our local suppliers often donate something great as well.

Spread The Word - If you know vapers that aren't part of the ECF, invite 'em! Know any smokers looking for alternatives? Bring 'em along! The more the merrier!

Last Meet Recap - If you didn't make the last meet, or did and wish to relive it through the magic of images and text, it's posted here in last month's thread!

I told my wife in Surprise, AZ to invite her Brother Bob & his wife Mary Ann to the VIP Meeting on Camelback Rd. I'm currently in IL taking care of my Uncle with Stage IV-C cancer. He smokes 3 packs of cigarettes a day! His doctor said he HAS TO QUIT! I just started vaping since Feb. 9th, so I'm a newbie, but I have not had 1 cigarettes, and that's after smoking No-Filters over 30 years!! I sure hope you see him there!! If you do tell him I said hello, and maybe get him hooked up with an e-Go C Starter Kit to begin with, and both him and his wife can use it together, and it's CHEAP to start out with!!

We'll keep an eye out for 'em, Cuzin. Desert Vapes Dave should be there and will take real good care of your crew.

Congrats on your quit, and sending strength for you to pass on to your uncle! Hope to meet up with you once you're back in AZ!

 

[Steve McQueen's Cousin]

Thanks a TON for the uplifting words to my Uncle & myself!!
Believe me when I return to AZ you'll meet me. I can't wait
to start going to all the "VIP Meetings". Looks like a BLAST,
with all Good People. I checked out he pics from the last meeting
you had.

 

[BlackChad]

[davelog]

Oh, it was a great meet. Had us a blast! I'll have the pix and the recap up today or tomorrow!

February's VIP meet is a done deal, and a great time was had by all! We had about 30 people this month, old friends and new faces alike, vaping away a lovely Sunday over buffalo burgers and microbrews! This shot of Barry's new Innokin iClear 30 may be all blurry, but it's hands-down my favorite Barry pic ever. Spotted among Lou's stable of Darwins was this new iVape Tesla Dave and Tish from Desert Vapes were in the house... ...and loaded for bear with a mountain of juice and gear at vape-meet prices! RAFFLE TIME! Thanks to a very generous donation by Tom, the raffle this month featured a Sigelei Telescope mod, an S3 18350 VV mod, a bottle of the famed and fabled Radiator Pluid juice, and an e-Pipe kit that had both me and Leann drooling. Desert Vapes also kicked in some juice, a square eGo case, and a t-shirt! The raffle brought in $175, so the cash prizes were $87 and $88! Lou won the first stack and Stacie scored the second! Tina won a bottle of Desert Vapes Fire and Ice under Frankie's watchful gaze Josh picked up a cobalt dropper bottle Fern won a bottle buddy and so did Leann, which is good - she doesn't have near enough of them Steve pulled a handful of XL eGo cartos Leann won the S3 VV mod, which I might add fits very nicely in a bottle buddy First-timer Meghan scored the Sigelei Telescope Not only did Stacie win the Radiator Pluid, she also pulled in the e-pipe set much to Leann's chagrin... ...but that didn't stop her from VAPING LIKE A SIR! Jennifer started her run on the Desert Vapes booty with a bottle of Peach Cobbler Gary got a bottle of Desert Vapes Heath Leann scored a bottle of DV Chocolate And Jennifer closed out the day winning the eGo case (with a bottle of DV Heath inside!) and a T-shirt Thanks to everyone who came, ate, drank, vaped, donated, and played! Congrats to all the winners and we hope to see you all next month! Vape on, everybody!​

Ok - Uno Mas - Sorry Jennifer but this had to be done (cuz U ROCK)!

 

[davelog]

We officially have a man on the inside!

Well, not a man, per se - our oldest, Meghan (pictured above with the telescope), filled out an application for SunUp while we were there for the meet, and she starts training Friday!

 

[SheerLuckHolmes]

If she works out meetings, we will all have to make sure she gets the 'insider' tip rates (higher)!

 

[davelog]

I get the feeling from the servers I've talked to there that working the VIP meets is highly profitable and it's not a shift that's lightly passed around. I suspect that Meghan won't be our server for quite a while, she has to pay her dues first
