Retail shop owner that smokes and vapes

[Bawn]

don't think i really care. as long as hes knowledgeable and has good prices wouldn't matter to me one bit. if hes a smoker that opened up a store to make fast cash and has no idea what hes doing then no..lots of non smoking b&m owners that dont know what they are doing either. but because he smokes doesn't mean he doesn't know what hes doing. if you didn't know steven hawking was a absolutely genius, would you ask him how to solve a math problem? he looks like hes completely incapable of doing anything, but hes probably one of the brightest people on earth. cant judge a book by its cover.

Hello community,
A general question to provoke some thought.

Would you support a Retail vape shop where the owner smokes?

why and why not

If he gives good service, knows what he's talking about and runs a honest business that helps people quit smoking... He's I'm my good vendor book.

I don't have a problem with that, if the store has good prices, service, selection, and at least some knowledge of the products they sell.

You are free to make your own choice of course, but remember nearly all of us smoked.

Would you see a female urologist?

As long as she dose not have cold hands!

Would you buy vaping gear from someone who never smoked?

Good poing a no smoking vapor would have less to relate to to a noob than a smoking vapor

Glitter is the herpes of the craft world, and yes I have had a female urologist, not as gentle as you would think....anyways, I would buy from a smoker, chances are they have tried and failed........like most of us. They deserve our support just like anyone else struggling. So long as they offered a decent product at a decent price and supported the community I don't care if they eat worms or lick toads. As a hopefully former smoker, you should know what it's like to be judged. I don't expect B&M owners to be crusaders for the cause, I do expect them to do their part and not burn folks and turn them back to BT

It doesn't bother me to buy vaping gear from someone who smokes &/or someone who never used the products as long as they are honest & knowledgeable.

That being said, I'd have a hard time being convinced to start using an ecig from a person who smokes or never used the products. I started vaping as a way to get off analogs and so far it's worked great. I was introduced to ecigs by a friend who quit analogs for 3 months. If he still smoked or never used the product at all I might still be smoking.

I"d be willing to pay more if he shoots glitter out of his .... "Epic" steer clear of the E-juice owww

As long as he has good prices I don't care if he shoots glitter out of his .....

Can we purchase the Glitter???
Oh oh oh and can we Vape it?

Wait how would we clean it first?

Yes I'd buy fom a vendor who smokes analogs, provided i know the liquid etc...

I would most defiantly steer clear of a vendor who shoots glitter out of his but and has a glitter juice line!

I guess the one upside to glitter......if we could vape it, I mean.....as any one who has had experience with glitter will attest, if you run out, you will be able to find some on your clothes, dog, under the couch cushions, stuck to the back of your head........... Glitter, the gift that keeps on giving.

I believe the local vapeing community would chew this guy up and spit him out..
I have seen vape folks turn on each other for far less ...although I was hoping for a less "politically correct" response I have to accept what you all have said

I think if the first couple of responses where emphatically NO...the following responses may have been a little more leaning to no.

 

[Clearo-Mizer]

This same thing blew up with mad vapes...anyone remember that?

Never mind I was mistaken

Yes, the herpes of the craft industry, my gf calls it. Can't get rid of the stuff.

As for the vendor... I dunno. I'd require more analysis. How is it that I know he/she smokes? Does he smoke in the shop? Out front? Merely something he said? Perhaps they're just having a relapse?

Beyond that, it has nothing to do with anything outside the quality of the service, gear, location of the shop, etc.

Poo, I glossed over your earlier post...

 

[SissySpike]

I think if you posted this in the noob forum youd get a different response. I think once you are an established vapor you could give a rats whether you vape supplier is a smoking Obama loving beastimast who is married to a goat as long as he has quality at a good price;-)

EDIT: and a constant supply!

 

[Clearo-Mizer]

Buzz...I believe you are correct...

Haha

OP.. are you saying that everyone agrees with the first responses because they don't have their own opinion?

I'd rather talk about glitter butts.

 

[patkin]

Yes, I would. Some do both. I doubt the obese follow any diet plans but they might. I also doubt any company would hire them for sales. But, on the off chance I ran into it, I would ask if they tried it themselves and what they thought of it... recognizing this is a sales person. ;-) I might also ask the smoking vendor if he vapes also and, if not, his reasons... recognizing he's a sales person. I will say, though, that I've found most smokers to be pretty candid about their addiction especially in the vaping community. But, at any rate, I doubt any of the reasons would keep me from buying from him as his decision is no reflection on the products he carries.
