Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

[TrollDragon]

Free juice! You big spender you!!!

The 4 batteries were the most of it...
Still cheaper from LV and more readily available than local.

Mike, what is the name of the vape shop?

Electric Smoke Vapor House. They're having their three-year anniversary April 30. Cooking free hot dogs and such with 10 percent off storewide and up to 80 percent off on some items. Anxious to see what those items are.

 

[Katdarling]

Sounds fun!!!! I'm glad you mentioned them as this shop certainly deserves the shout out.

I should also say something nice about my doctor who actually recommended I try vaping a few weeks before I stopped by the shop. He asked if I was interested in quitting cigarettes. I told him "no" and that I just didn't have the guts to do it right now. He said I should try e-cigarettes and see if that works.

I wish I had a vape shop here, vaping isn't really a thing here like it is in the rest of Europe. Like in Paris, I was there last summer and they had vape shops everywhere. I only know of a handful of shops in the whole country and I've only been to one of them.

That's a good thing to know about Paris. Will be passing through there soon.


There are 2 shops in town. One I haven't been to and one I won't go back to even though it is a 6 minute walk from my house.

Do you have problems getting supplies online or by other means?

No I order a lot online with no problems, but I'd love to be able to try some different flavors before buying.

Is Sweden among the countries placing restrictions on vaping?

Yeah, nothing has happened yet though. The medical products agency here is trying to ban e liquids with nicotine but it's still legal for now, and I really hope it stays that way. But even if they managed to ban it it would probably still be possible to order online from a country where it's allowed.

Reading all these posts about bad vape shops makes me realize how lucky I am to have the lone shop in my little town. I stumbled in there on a whim a few weeks back just to get an idea what the whole vaping thing was about. Told the lady I didn't want to buy anything but just wanted to learn a bit. She took about an hour telling me about all the benefits. I tested a bunch of flavors but wasn't impressed. Was using a really cheap battery with those plastic mouthpiece covers and everything was muted and weak. I finally decided I did like the strawberry.

She guided me to an iStick Basic, one of the cheapest products she had, and told me when if I decided to try something, this should be it. It was $39.99 and included 12ml of any juice I wanted plus an extra coil. It dawned on me that I could buy that thing for less than a carton of cigarettes and give vaping a try. I told her I wanted to give it a shot. If she had led me to something more expensive and complicated, I absolutely would not have bought anything since I truly had no intention of quitting smokes at that point.

She loaded it with juice, showed me how to replace the coil when the time came and, at my insistence, mixed my strawberry juice at 30mg...lol. Bless her, she did as I asked but also handed a second free bottle made at 18 mg and told me if I found the 30mg harsh or unpleasant to vape, just mix it half and half with the 18 to make a more reasonable 24mg vape. Needless to say, that's exactly what I did about 30 minutes later.

Here's the thing. After smoking for 48 years and working my way up to more than a carton a week of Winston reds (the long ones) I never smoked another cigarette from that day. I haven't really even wanted one. That's what's so remarkable.

Anyway, this is my long-winded way of saying the lady at my local vape shop probably saved my life. She most certainly made it more pleasant. She was patient, enthusiastic and not out to make a bunch of money off an unknowing doofus who just showed up with a bunch of annoying questions. God bless her.

Awesome story my unknown friend, almost pushed a tear on my eye!
What ever happens, you should talk to that lady/girl and make sure she join the Forum, so we all can say a huge Thank You to such beautiful person

I am so glad to see the chivalry is still alive and there are normal persons in handful of shops

Just while I think about it. For TP's who are still stocking up.....China celebrates their May Day in a couple of weeks so expect some sales, also Health Cabin will celebrate their anniversary at the same time so if previous years are anything to go by, the deals are excellent.

Awesome! Thanks for telling us

Thanks @Krisma - I'm toying with the idea of a Kayfun mini v3 clone for my stash so will keep my eyes open - and I dare say add in a few other things if I go for it I've never ordered anything from China yet so it might be a good time to start

I spend about $40 a month on Hangsen juice at something like 20 cents per milliliter in 50ml bottles.

The wick and wire costs are negligible. I bought a box each of Sally's cotton and rayon last year, along with a package of Koh Gen Do cotton from Amazon a few months ago. I have Kanthal, SS 316L, and Titanium wire in spools that will last for years.

One of the best deals I've found was the Koh Gen Do for about $12 from Amazon. It's a bag of 80 sheets of KGD that will overfill a cigar box. Each sheet can be separated into two sheets, so one sheet will make about 12 wicks or even twice that if you save the cutoff from one wick for the next wick.

I was just busting chops Troll. I would have ordered more to get the free juice but there wasn't anything else I needed. They have great prices on wire and stuff. I tried their e-juice when I ordered at Christmas. It's not bad but I guess I'm spoiled with my DIY.

I know good sir, all is good!

I was pondering one of the Coil Master 521 Tab's as well, but didn't need a new desktop toy to raise any questions from SWMBO...

I ordered one from LV when I did my Christmas order. I like it. Only thing is it should have been wider like the Geek Vape one so it doesn't move so much. But since I got it for under $30 I happy.

Ya know, I don't think I've ever seen anyone use that term (SWMBO) on any forum other than a homebrew one that I haven't been to in awhile. Darn it, now I'm gonna waste my time on yet another forum...

Isn't the internet a wonderful place to chew up all your time...
