Tropical Vapors is Going Out of Business :ohmy:

After over two years of being in business, we have decided to pack it in and close the store.

The regulatory environment is just becoming more than we want to deal with. Jurisdictions across the country are proposing and passing laws targeted at vaping, that frankly we don't have the resources or the desire to keep up with.

The final straw was when the state of Ohio proposed a new excise tax (45%) on anything that is vaping related. Since the tax is based on wholesale price and not retail price it would be a nightmare to implement and monitor compliance.

Now this tax may not pass as fast or even at all as the governor would like (he's using it to help fund a state income tax DECREASE so he can get re-elected), this IS going to happen somewhere. And we are an online-only business, responsible for obeying whatever laws are applicable in the places where we sell in to. The complexity of applying these types of taxes correctly, keeping the appropriate records for the tax man (or woman) and filing and paying the taxes across multiple jurisdictions is mind boggling. Also, we will have to try to compete with vendors that are either not subject to the tax or those that choose to ignore it.

Many people have speculated that we are folding because of the recent announcements by the FDA. While the timing was coincidental, this really came about after a meeting I attended with a few of the Ohio vape stores and a lobbyist to strategize how to fight the Ohio proposal. It became apparent to me that this is not just a one off battle but it is going to go on and on.

We believe in this industry and hope that the powers that be don't do anything to make it too difficult or expensive for you all to keep vaping.

We will still be open for a while as we close out our existing inventory. We will be posting some incredible deals in this thread so we can get rid of our remaining stock. Stop by Tropical Vapors and stock up on some good stuff at great prices.


We want to thank you all for you business and support over the last two years.

Aspire Nautilus BDC Tank System with Adjustable Airflow

The next generation, Aspire Nautilus BDC Tank system uses the new Aspire BDC (bottom dual coil) technology. Constructed of high-grade stainless steel, it features a 5ml glass Pyrex tank. The tank system has an air flow control mechanism that is adjustable by turning the lower ring between four different settings. User reviews tout this to be one of the best atomizer tanks to be released in 2014.

The air flow control allows you to control the draw as well as fine tune how much liquid feeds into the coil. All these features make the Aspire Nautilus a truly special atomizer and provide one of the best, out-of-the-box vaping experiences available today.

We have just a few of these left as we are selling them below the manufacturer's minimum price at just $25.99. We also have the five pack of replacement coils (1.8 ohm dual coil) at ($12.99).

The EGO Epower from SMOK Tech. This is a great little device (well maybe not so little). It has standard 510 threads so you can use all of your regular 510 atomizers and cartomizers, but unlike the classic Epowers, this model also has EGO threads so you can use a lot of your EGO threaded devices with this unit without an adapter.

This is a very reliable electronic cigarette and gives a great vape at 3.7 volts. When paired with a SMOK Tech low resistance cartomizer it will blow you away. And an 18650 battery gives you the capacity to vape for hours and hours between charges.

So it you are looking for your first mod, a great backup device, or you want to get better performance and save money over your EGO, KGO, RIVA, etc. check out the EGO Epower today.

Available in black, chrome, blue and purple. Get one (or two) today for only $13.99. Note that the EGO Epower 18650 DOES require an 18650 cell to operate. This is not included.

I like (I clicked the like button)- but don't like - I strongly dislike the government - a LOT !!!!!
Sometimes I think if people heard me lose my temper on the ignorant government they'd think I was over the top.
But - I think the government is beyond crooks and thieves. Sad and angry. Sorry from a fellow Ohioan . . .

Kanger T2 and T3 Clearomizers are on clearance at Tropical Vapors


These are great clearomizers . Nice capacity, a great tasting vape, lots of vapor and unlike most clearomizers you get a good throat hit. The only thing you have to watch is to be sure that the coils and wicks are heavily saturated with e-liquid, before you start to use them.

And the coils are replaceable so you can really save money in the long run.

If you like top feed clearomizes, the T2 is the one for you. We have them with the shorter wicks and the long wicks in a variety of colors and resistances. For the replacement coils, we are just carrying the long wick version as if you want a shorter wick, it is easy to trim them.

Kanger T2 - Top Feed Clearomizer - Short Wick

Kanger T2 - Top Feed Clearomizer - Long Wick

---The short wick T2s are on clearance for $2.79. while the long wick version is priced at just $2.99.

---Five pack of T2 replacement coils in 1.8, 2.2 or 2.5 ohms - long wick only $5.99

And if you prefer a bottom feed clearomizer, we have the Kanger T3 on clearance. We only carry these in standard resistance, based on a recommendation from the manufacturer.

Kanger T3 - Bottom Feed Clearomizer

---A great deal at $2.99

We have the CE4 Plus Clearomizer (EGO 510) on clearance for only $2.29 each.

These are great devices that give you a lot of vapor and an incredible taste. The only negative that some folks have with these is that they think the throat hit is somewhat muted.

These have a 1.6 ml capacity with long wicks to provide better wicking to the atomizer and smooth and easy inhalation. The atomizer is positioned above the e-liquid and is fed via the extra thick immersed wicks. The high quality thermal alloy atomizer at the top, assisted by the wide inhalation chamber gives you fantastic airflow and great vapor production with a very clean flavor.

This product does NOT require a syringe to fill, simply drip e-liquid into the side of the cone to fill.

Note: These are NOT rebuildable. You cannot replace the coils. We have some of those on the site too on clearance.

These are available in variety of colors. The are standard resistance (approximately 2.5 ohms).
