I like the staff at Spring Vapor. Their prices on equipment are a little high.Spring vapor probably has the most related to supplies, but as usual with B&M locations their prices are on the upper end of what I'm willing to pay.
I sure like their wall of samples. I like a couple of their liquids, but I let them steep a month. Mail between Spring and Houston is overnight. It's worth mentioning that Spring Vapors is a registered vendor through ECF. That means a lot to me.Now, for their juices...reasonable prices for the most part. Sadly, for me and my wife, thats where it ends. Their base is 50/50 but for some reason (to me) it's simply way to damn thick - like pouring out cold syrup! Frankly...the flavors were not that impressive either, just sort of "meh" to "blah". Guess they need to steep for ages as their testing bar was far better than when we got the juice home.
Looks like Create E Cig on Westheimer was bought by Vapor Trading Co (Dec 2013?). Create E Cig was way expensive - I'm glad to see them go. I haven't been in the new Vapor Trading Co. Their website lists boge cartos at $2.25... each. Gah. They bring real high end mods and drippers to the vape meet. That's cool.
I'm a fan of HappyESmoker. Cheap and straight forward liquid and equipment. They are primarily web based, but they have a little office at 290 and 610 if you wanna go visit them. Nice young couple running it. Happy is an ECF registered supplier too.
Houston Vapers Club usually has a vape meet once a month. Looks like two in March. The vendor turn out keeps getting better and better. In addition, all the vendors I've met there have been willing to sell at reasonable prices when faced with a little negotiation and cash.
Hanzo.
