Does anyone know of any good vaping stores in the Metro Detroit area? I bought a GLV2 from Great Lakes Vapor, and I love it but I want to see what else is in my area. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't think there are any. I don't see why you'd want to pay for the overhead costs when there's a huge selection online for cheaper than what they'd have to charge?
That is true, I was just thinking it'd be great to check things out and try some different types of juice and see how some of the hardware works.
i been to revovler lounge down in monroe, limited selection mostly sells revolver branded merchandise. i believe the vaporium in clawson just opened and ahlusion is opening its doors soon if not already. on the west side of the state mister eliquid and kalamazoo vapor shops are must visits when you have time.

im willing to pay a little more for something i can grab right now. i had no idea how small some of the devices are out there. i got the opportunity to use a zmax v2 the other day and loved it. i would have grabbed it over my vamo. trying things out in a shop has a serious weight to it, let alone being a grass roots michigan business.
other side to that is socially id like to meet a few other vapers more often. find out about more local vape meets. last month i found out revovler down in monroe has meets at the lounge every other sunday.
I dunno maybe head shops would have vaping stuff? I guess its a matter of preference, i like shopping for stuff like that online because there's no pressure from the sales people and i can google items to find reviews and other opinions and see if somethings trash or not.

I hear allot of people say that about wanting to get it now...i buy allot of things online because they're cheaper, especially electronics, it doesn't bother me to wait a week I'm used to it... if I'm getting a better product than what i could get at the store for that price its worth it!
Hey Ken! Go check out Vaporium! Great lil store! Nice people! 14 mile by Livernois!! They're on Facebook too! I've been wondering about Provaris, the size, the feel, etc. I got to finally see and use one. They are wonderful! I priced them out and it was just a few dollars more at the store plus tax. It's nice to save money, however I feel it's nicer to support a smaller store that is just starting out! And by having a store, there's more exposure to ecigs and people's experience with them.
The day I went to the store, I ended up hanging out there for 3 hrs! The owners (Len and Barb) were there as well as another couple. We sat around and talked Vape, tried different juices (a lot of mine, because I had about 30 tanks with different juices, my taste buds have ADD, I'm constantly changing flavors. Lol), and as I mentioned I tried a Provari and also someone's Genesis Atty. The atty was also very nice!! They have juices that they will let you sample as well. It was a great experience all in all!
So to anyone in the Metro Detroit area, just go, Vape, have fun and buy some stuff so they can do well!!

Hmmm. Ahlusion, I haven't tried their juices but I heard they're really good. Do you know where their store will be?
A Provari is a Provari, no better than getting one online. As for quality items, Vaporium carries great quality products. They have glass tanks from IBTanked, which I've been wanting and finally got! I was hesitant to order it online because I wasn't sure of the size. It's the same price but I didn't get the drip tip that comes with it online. I don't need it, I've got many beautiful tips and I've gotten pretty darn good at filling my tanks, I don't need the refilling drip tip.
There is something to be said about being able to see and try things. For example, I like smaller devices, I use Ego twist batteries and I felt, and I stress FELT, that they were perfect for me. I was wrong. The Provari isn't as big as I thought it would be and the performance... Wow! As much as I love my Egos, they don't compare!! And as soon as I get the funds to spare, I will be getting a Provari... From Vaporium, to support a small local business!
Ahlusion is located in Swartz Creek right next to Flint. They will be opening on May 1 according to their website.
I think you misunderstood my meaning. I didn't mean a better version of the same thing, i meant if I'm looking to buy a TV for 400, at a store i can get a 720p 32in vizio where online i can get a new 1020p 40in samsung, dig?Lucy74:9323678 said:

I get it. More bang for your buck online.
What I like about there being stores is it raises awareness. If I walked by a store or drove by, I would be curious about it and check it out. To be able to see, touch and even try products is great. Then there's the social aspect, meeting other vapers, sharing experiences and knowledge is another bonus.
So to me, for a few bucks more, it's worth it to help a small business succeed!

I myself like to look at, hold in my hand, and get a feel for an item before I buy. I try to visit every store I can to try new things. Sometimes I've found things I thought I wanted but once I held them they felt chinzy and cheap, and the reverse is true to. Things I thought nothing about I became interested in after holding/trying them out. The internet is awesome but there is something to be said about first hand experience and not having to wait a week or more for something to be mailed.
Cafe Ahlusion is at 8048 Miller Rd Swartz Creek, MI 48473.

A local store helps pay your taxes, keeps local people employed, and helps spread the word! Just as long as they keep prices in line..I can't see paying twice or three times as much because they are preying on the newbies looking to start out/see if it is for them. Local shop you are paying for face to face advice and the ability to see/touch what you are interested in. My local vape/head/cigar/porn/RYO shop has its stock (mostly bottles of juice from what I can see) right in front of the door in a display case. That way when you bend over to look, any one coming in can hit you with the door! I'm not going to spend too much time there!
Theres a b&m store in clawson called vaporcraft on 14 and livernois. They sell jamesons, the standard vape , flavorz by joe and halo liquids A few smok mechs. Provaris and ego twists. A few ibtanked tanks also. Len and barb are great people.
Since I moved to clarkston ive been going to ahlusion. My favorite liquid to date. Better selection in mods and liquid in store then online.
Not affiliated. But have been to both and like them alot.

Lucy47. After what you had said in this thread about how many liquids you have on hand due to your taste buds having add. I remembered a story I had heard chatting with len a few weeks ago.
Around the first month that they were open they had a small gathering. A woman by the name of lucy had attended, with one of the most impressive collection of tanks and juices they had seen. Very organized. Super nice and a joy to have in the store.
I have to admit im impressed and I wasnt there.
Sorry for hyjacking thread.
Im at work so spelling and grammer are horrible.
