The Vaporium in Lakewood! They are the best!
I have an eGo I bought about 6 months ago (paid wayyy to much at a mall kiosk in Kennewick) and rarely used it because it didn't really do much for my nicotine cravings. When I decided to try to break the analog habit for good, I went in to the shop planning to spend a ton more money for a new unit. They didn't even try to sell me a new one, they pulled out a $4 part and fixed the one I had. I haven't touched an analog since! I like vaping so much I went back in today and bought a really nice tank setup. They are extremely helpful and their prices are very reasonable.

That is what makes The Vaporium so great, it's not about the sale only, but big time helping people quit smoking! The owner Kim is also the one who led the battle for vaping rights in Pierce County last year and got the health board to allow us to vape in establishments 18yrs or older!

Largest selection of eJuice for sampling! But I am biased as I am a loyal customer! Kim also puts together vape meets and she raises money and donates to The Wounded Warrior Project!

It is also a great place to hang out and vape!

So... Why is there no store in Seattle? The population will support it. I know King county banned vaping in buildings but there are medical (the other stuff people smoke) shops popping up all over the place... Seems odd. I ordered a bunch of diy stuff to make sure I don't run out. Got it from www.ecigexpress.com in Blaine to keep it as local as I could.

Dizzy it comes down to the ban King County imposed. What really helps a store front is the chance to try the juice first. That is what has made The Vaporium so successful is the over 130 samples to try. Some people just won't buy if they can't try it first. I know Kim is rallying support to go approach King County and try to get the ban changed. She has local politicians in Pierce County to help and we will need vapers to also turn out. So watch for an announcement when this happens and come support. The vaping community will get it changed and then stores will open!

Smokers choice in the silverdale mall is great for the people in kitsap the staff which is really the same guy most of the time is very knowledgeable and they have a great selection for any vaper novice to pro. They have the heavy duty bombshell and cherrybomb mods. as well as the volcano line and e-go. They are just about to get the e-go twists in. As well as they just started to carry the vapedudes line which in my opinion is the best juice around. The flavor that the lable says is what ya taste exactly I haven't had another that nails the flavors so well.

While I like and support my local brick and mortar shop, IE Kim and the vaporium, I have progressed to the point that their prices on juice are just too high for me @ $7+ dollars for a 6ml bottle or $20+ for an 18ml bottle. I now buy 130ml mini-jugs for $38 and use provaris and stainless steel mesh rebuildable gennie atomizers. I suggest if you are new to go to the vaporium... the one in B&I I've never been to but the vaporium will warranty their gear they sell you and will replace it immediately if they have it on hand. They will teach you how to use it and are very helpful. Once you get your feet wet and research ECF you'll find places to save money but.... you should still go in every once and a while and spend a little cash. It's always nice to have a place you can physically go to in case of an emergency.

Due to the ridiculous King County ban. King County bans public e-cigarette smoking - seattlepi.com

I'd like to know what special interests were lobbying for it.


Make the drive up to Bellingham and check out ecigexpress they have something in the neighborhood of 10000 flavors and all the nic juice you could ever need as well as supplies


Of course I'm a right wing nut job.....I believe in personal responsibility, NOT government responsibility...:)

Ecigexpress is awesome. The store is a bit of a mess right now because they just moved in to a downtown Bellingham storefront (away from all the Canadian shoppers and their milk riots thankfully lol) and are open while they model. But they are friendly, knowledgeable and yes their DIY is second to none.

On your rather strangely tacked on second point... I believe in certain human rights as part of the social contract. Things like health care. :)

My first kit arrived today! I ordered from V4L and got the vapor king titan ultimate kit in lavender. I happen to live in Vancouver, and while I was doing research for my kit I ran across a couple of shops in Portland, just a couple of hours south of you, or a day or two by mail. PDX and SEA-TAC mail drops at least a couple times a day.

I just found the Vaporium and they where very helpful! I will be going back for sure!
 
The only things I've found around Seattle in various smoke shops are cheap-o starter kits and high nic liquids of quality ranging from decent (Spokane Super Sauce) to VERY dubious (indecipherable labels w/ no information) that tasted like industrial chemicals. No wonder Vapers are very few and far between here. I've spotted two in the last year. I would really appreciate a local shop, at least to to handle some different gear to satisfy my tactile inclinations that make me a bit hesitant to order some of the more adventurous items online...
