Real World Purchase?

[maxx]

So far I am liking my Vapor King. Despite owning 6 computers, one domain, and three websites....I never really got comfortable with internet commerce. (I know....I'm odd). Naturally I do it occasionally, but was wondering if Vapor4life products are sold in the brick and mortar world. Specifically....anywhere around Pittsburgh, PA.?

I'm an instant gratification kind of guy....give people money, they give me stuff to take home. Probably explains why I got hooked on cigarettes to begin with.

not yet. but if you wanna make a trip to chicago...

 

[maxx]

Nah.....that would be a three cartdridge trip all by itself.

The internet is my real world!

All things considered though, I would love to have the ability to walk into my local convenience store and buy carts and juices.. just in case. We can only hope!

::fingers crossed::

 

[maxx]

We would have to pay more most likely....then add state sales tax...but I just got my email notice of new carts being shipped and doing a quick count of what I have here left....and it's gonna be close.

Our local cig shop carries V4l products :d

I recommend you just order from their internet store only take 2 or 3 days shipping to get to you. And u always get freebies. Bite the bullet. Since you occasionally order online anyway. Might as well make it with V4L.

Do they have a store there, or just a base of operations?

Where is this?

Its not a store it's their headquarters. But they do allow customers to make an appointment to come in and buy.

Hi Maxx,

You could give a very good friend or family member the money and have them buy the items you want for you....I have a very good friend who I do this for....She gives me the money and I buy things for her from ebay, or other sites...

I have purchased multiple times from V4L, and have never had any problems...just so you know...

 

[maxx]

It's not a major chore to buy over the internet. The problem is that I am not real good at planning ahead or waiting for a delivery.

I've always been a "I need it now, go buy it now" type of person. Hell...the last car I bought I just wandered into the dealership, and drove out with a new car two hours later. Like I said earlier....instant gratification person. However, I am getting better at being patient.

Find somebody with some starting capital, then have them open up a shop in your town. That way you'll help somebody become rich, and have supplies available at any time. They'll probably be grateful and just give you any juices/cartos you'll want with all the money they'll be making.

Prices at V4L are GREAT! Just have the business sell at the same prices, and profit from the 30% wholesaler discount.

Actually...I was looking for some sort of side business to supplement my income, and selling e-cigs wouldn't be bad and could be done from a home office. But I am waiting for all the legal battles (which are certain to come) before considering it.

Me toooooo.

I'm similar to maxx as well and either forget or get too busy to order it.

Generally speaking, I'm also noticing how many things are becoming ship only as well. Seems everything is online and has to be shipped. If it's in the store, they don't have the inventory and you end up having to order the item online anyways.
Kind of a disturbing trend actually since I don't have much faith in the entire shipping world being 100% honest individuals who would never steal products.
Great example is a DLP TV and video games.
Available yes but not the options we once had in a store unless it's a specialty store. Gone are the days of running to Target or Wal-mart for something as they only carry daily items in bulk now.
Ok I'm done

But look at it from this point of view... If more & more people were exposed to PVs because we were selling them in shops all over the US, then it'd be harder for a legal battle to go the wrong way. It's easy to squash something that only .5% of people even know about, but when you start threatening something that 30% of people use, it's a bit harder...

That's why Prohibition didn't work.. everybody already knew about alcohol and wanted it, so there's no stopping it. If alcohol was something only a few people had heard about, and really only got negative opinions in the news about it, there'd be no place you could buy it.

The other side of the coin is that if e-cigs get that popular, the government will be losing tax dollars hand over fist and possibly even more likely to supress the industry or regulate (tax) it. Right now, E-smokers are a minor nuisance to government. We are getting around all their sin taxes and second-class citizen laws. They don't like it, but have bigger fish to fry right now. However....who knows a year from now. I'm a cynic and pessimist and honestly believe e-cigs will eventually be banned...and for all the wrong reasons. I am hoping to have my nicotine habit whipped by then, though.

Sounds kinda defeatist but I'm with Maxx on that one. I can go out in the morning think it's unfair and yell at the sun for coming up. That's not going to change a thing. Governments raise money by taxing. Easiest things to tax is what others would consider a luxury. Especially if that group doesn't have influence. Cigars have influence because they are primarily used by the rich. So they don't become taxed as heavily though even that is changing.

I'd argue on that marijuana is illegal but very popular. The problem legalizing pot is that is too easily grown. Tobacco can be grown easily but curing it is a whole other matter. By the way I don't smoke marijuana or am a fan of it. I'm not railing against the government. I seldom drink alcohol so if I presented with a choice do I want them to take more out of my pay check or tax beer...well I'm only human and often I act only in whats in my best interest. Thats how other people feel about taxes on cigarettes and probable soon on e-cigarettes.
