Southern Indiana Vaping

[on3fifth]

I have been looking around for around 5 days for a place that sells anything e-cig related(besides crap disposable e-cigs). Now I just give up I know everything can be bought online and thats what I have done. That seems silly for a town that has 117,429 people living in just Evansville which is a town 40 mins south of where I live with my town that's 130,000 plus not including surrounding towns.

Also people in this area are just extremely misinformed about vaping. This includes my friends and family. Me pulling a cigarette would be more accepted than pulling out a eGo battery.What is the easiest way to get people more familiar?

I really don't know where I am going with this but I wanted to get it off of my chest I guess.

I love vaping but it does get more flack than smoking a cig.

Welcome , but sorry to say that there are still a lot of people unaware of the advantages of vaping over smoking . Happily , where I live , that's not been the case . Las Vegas seems to be very tolerant and accepting of PV's and vaping . Even several of my doctor's at the V.A. where I go , absolutely love them . Thing their the best thing since sliced bread . So don't give up , eventually they will come around . There are probably a lot more vapers in your area than you think . If there is not already a local vapers group , maybe you should try and start one . Good luck .

(maybe you should try and start one) omg . . just what I was going to suggest. Best way to get the word out in your area it would seem.

I know there's stores in Bloomington and Indy. Probably to far to go, eh?

I would love to start a vapor bar but in this town it would not survive sadly. This is the same town where a Arby's can't survive. I am in a very small town that is very happy with just smoking and that's it. I am not aware of the store in Bloomington that is not to far for me I would drive there to get some atty's for sure!

The closest brick and mortar store, that I know of, near you on2fifth is in Speedway.

I know of another even further away though if you want a longer drive.

The Indy Vape Shop has a fairly good reputation on here and with the few folks I know that go there.

I have been vaping for 6 weeks tomorrow. I have been to two brick & morter stores in the area. One in central Mass & one in Nashua, NH.. Prices much higher, selection very limited. Even more surprising to me was that after spending several hour reading on this forum, I was much more knowledgable about vaping than they were. On line shopping much better. Cheaper, top quality products. I have had all good experiences dealing with Litecig, Vapor Juntion, ECIG Charlestown, Tasty Vapor, and others.

I do not live in your state buy my Riteaid, right at the counter, has something that looks like an RN4081. Some 7-11's sell Njoy 2-n-1 aka Npro which is also an RN4081 as well as prefilled cartomizers for it.

You can go look at VaporSearchUSA.com and see if it finds any other shops near you. There just aren't a lot of brick and mortar shop yet except bs ripoff mall kiosks. But there are more shops every day since everybody sees the $$$ - not always stores you would want to shop at though. I have seen as much as $150 charged for a battery that should cost $15.

Heyas On3fifth,

I live in a "college town" with a population of about 280k, and have found nothing but cheap gas station type ecigs and blu disposables locally.

Oh, and in some of the places, you can get juice for the bargain price of ~$14 for 5ml

IIRC, the one in Bloomington is a mall kiosk. Before everyone says MALL KIOSK!?, this guy isn't outrageous on pricing. I can't recall the name, but he has a website, and also operates a kiosk in a mall in Clarksville, right across the river from Louisville. I tried some of the liquid, and it's decent.

I know College Mall in Bloomington, IN has a booth and Honey Creek Mall in Terre Haute, IN. Both quite the drive. Their website link for those stores is Electonic Cigs - Smoking Tonight Sadly, though the owner does not have all his product online that he carries at the booths. I live in Terre Haute and buy most of my stuff online.

You know Halo has a wholesale opportunity on their website ... something to consider!! Wink

That's it, Smoke Tonight.

College Mall in Bloomington, IN. The guy that owns the shop is named Denny, great guy, great prices. Smoke tonight dot com is his website, however, not all his products are on his website. He also has a kiosk at Honey Creek Mall in Terre haute, IN

You guys rock! But lucky for me I just got in 5 attys and my brand new Silver Bullet in the mail!!! It vapes like a champ for sure. I am actually annoying the hell out of people on facebook and twitter about vaping is a way to quit smoking, some are curious some are ignoring me I have got 2 people to quit and one is ordering his first Mod tomorrow. So I am on my way! I would love to start a shop or a store and have found some wholesalers that would do the job but I really don't think the business would actually last only if I did it out of a briefcase (or toolbox).
