thanks for the replys. we need a vape store here in portland. it would make a killing. why cant i post in the oregon fourm ?
You may need to join the group to post there, or if you just recently(within the hour) went past your 5th post, the server may need time to catch up. Try joining the group though.
Head up to the Poodle Dog restaurant in Fife WA (right off I-5) Friday night at 8:00 pm for a vape meet, lots of fun and a demonstration on wrapping coils/wicks. PM me if you need more info.
Welcome to ECF!
Fellow Oregonian here as well, I've seen several around the forums, I didn't know there was an Oregon forum/group here, I'll have to check it out.

I live across the river in Vancouver but go to school in Portland. The only places to buy decent stuff locally that I have seen are the kiosks in Clackamas mall and Loyd center. Think it is called Nic Station.
Nic Station surprisingly isn't terrible, being a mall kiosk I figured it was going to be another "smoking everywhere" type kiosk.
Their juice, from what the guy at Lloyd Center said, is just relabeled Dekang. No biggie, except for the fact they want $35 for a 50ml. That's obscene prices for Dekang, I could buy Dekang at RETAIL prices (around $10 per 50ml) and still make a ridiculously high profit. Considering they are likely getting it much cheaper than regular retail, they are probably making $30 pure profit on each bottle of juice. TOTALLY a rip-off and if it wasn't for the fact the guy was so nice, I would have refused to buy anything there and told them off. There is no excuse for ripping people off that bad.
The rest of the stuff, all eGos and cigalikes, wasn't too bad, more expensive than online, but that's to be expected of any B&M location. I think I bought a passthrough eGo for $20 or $25, not cheap by any means but not terrible. They were sold out of eGo twists when I was there, but he said they were selling for $25 or $30. Again, a tad overpriced but not by too much.
This was around 6 months ago, so things might have changed. The guy seemed pretty knowledgeable, and actually offered to give me 50 smoktech tanks for free. He evidently was selling them and got complaints that they leaked, so he pulled them from the shelves and set them aside, that shows they care about the quality of their products at least. I've been meaning to check back there, but doubt they will really have anything that I don't already own, window shopping vape gear is always fun though

I've stopped and shot the shat with the guy at Clackamas a few times. He was selling the new VV stuff that is out. I think the e-nic or something. I also think they are getting their juice from a local place now, not completely sure on that though. The prices are to be expected as it is a kiosk and the rent must be insanely high.
VV as in larger VV/VW mods, or just VV egos? Maybe I should make some time to go check out the CTC one!
I do agree on the prices, I wouldn't expect them to be as low as online or anything. But $35 for 50ml is just obscene, it's a much more extreme markup than any other stuff when compared to "fair market" prices. Maybe that's why their hardware isn't horribly overpriced, as they get you on the juice. I don't know.. I just don't think it's cool how much they are ripping people off on the Juice, especially if it's just Dekang, although if they aren't using Dekang anymore the higher prices would be a bit more justified.
I'd think them using Mt Baker Vapor as their juice supplier would be a great idea. Good quality juice from what I've heard (my order should arrive tomorrow) at dirt cheap prices, and they're just up there in Washington so it's pretty local.

The are down to $30 for 50ml now.. I don't know if they have changed juice supliers or not.. ECBlends would be a good choice for a supplier as well and they are in Oregon.. (Medford)
