Nic station

[Zackzombie]

Today went to a different mall then I normally go to, I went there to buy some ejuice from whatever kiosk the mall had, but today I discover a new vender called nic station, the co owner guy was amazing and well informed on all their devices. He wasn't one of those douche bag kiosk people whom have no clue on what they are selling, bought two ejuices from them, black cherry and banana cream pie. amazing taste and vapor out put. Well there I talked to some people whom were curious ecig and how they worked and well joe ( I think thats his name) helped people buy the best kit to match there needs. After he delt with his sells, he offered my friend and I a great deal on some ejuice that was not in high demand for 4$ a bottle Instead of the regular 10$ a bottle, the favors were like plain apple,cherry, pumkin pie, eggnog and alot of others, their website opens sometime next week at www.nicstation.com, the moral of this story is I seen alot of douche bag kiosk venders that dont know jack but some are very smart and great people whom have the passion to vape, so newbies and others go out and explore kiosk venders

I'm glad you had a good experience and I'm all about spending my money locally so that sounds like a win for you. Im not in the same boat, two vendors 30 miles away that sell juice $1 per ml and single batt ego kits for 65 bucks. Id rather send my money out of state.

I know how goes I over paid for two ego batteries and 4 stardust tanks :/ but lesson learned for now on they are my place to go for my vaping needs

In a mall? wow, that would be great. Unfortunately the only mall within an hour is in WVA. And they are a bit behind sometimes. So it may be a bit. Congrats on finding a brick and mortar store!

Their banana cream pie is amazing! The one thing I don't like about them (mostly at the Clackamas Town Center) is they hire people who have no clue what they're talking about. Some products are very over priced, especially their mod kids. I remember they were selling an ovale v8 kit for $100 when they were on-sale for $30 at discount vapors. One last thing, they do get knock off items too! Their ce4's and vivi novas aren't the real thing!

I see, I found them at the llody center and the guy there was pretty damn informed.

Too bad they are grossly over priced. 10 bucks for a drip tip, 20 for a vivi nova (unsure what version) but you don't even get the whole kit with replacwment heads. Its just the tank and 1 head. He charges 5-6 bucks for a replacement. 10 bucks for 10ml of juice that is questionable in quality...the list goes on

Side note for anyone in the portland metro area. If you're looking to buy juices locally and dont mind making a trip out to Vancouver, Bubbas Rock and U Roll em has started a vapelounge called Fatboy Vapors. No i don't own it nor am I personal friends with the guy. I am however also strongly inclined to buy things locally. Plus it's nice having a local store to resupply on the little things like replacement heads, etc. He's still trying to get biz up and running, and is lacking in hardware (he had some issues with his supplier), but he is working on it. He does however have good quality juices currently from NicQuid and 2peasInaPod (both of which are AEMSA members). It's out on Chkalov near the Fred Meyer and Cinetopia. Like I said, not affiliated with the shop, but I do stop in there quite a bit for juice, etc. He's looking to eventually have full blown vape meets, etc. He has tasting stations set up and should hopefully have his supply issues handled soon. The more biz he generates, the more variety in mods he will offer. He did mention he's trying to get in some Cobra RBA's, and the supplies necessary to rebuild. He said eventually, he'd like to offer small rebuilding workshops. You basically pay, you get the RBA and tank, the supplies and you sit down and get instructed on how to rebuild.

VERY good to know... how far north in Vancouver (sorry, I only skimmed your post). I live in Beaverton so it's already kind of a drive...but the wife of someone I work with is looking to start vaping and I want to tell him about GOOD places to shop.

very hard to spend my money locally, because of where i live. 20 miles each way to the vape store. the last time i went in there, i asked the person if they had any RBA's. he looked at me like three heads just sprouted from my neck. had no idea what i was talking about. lastly while i understand the mark-up involved with a B&M store, i am so damn cheap i just hate to spend the extra money. trade off though. since most people around me are computer illiterate, i generally send new vapers to the local B&M instead.

Where I am there are NO vape stores...a little tobacco shop near me only sells Smoke Fifty Ones and disposables. The nic station is where I got my eRoll but I don't want to get their rebranded eGo knockoffs.

Even the local headshops I went to don't have anything like what's talked about here. Just stuff for the *other tabakky* and hookah.
