walked into my first e cig store

[KeepNitReel]

First all e cig store I've ever been in and let me tell you, I felt instant gratification! Looking at all the PV's and different flavor liquids right in front of me, I felt like a kid in a candy store! The place is call no smoke Virginia & it's located on 3rd street downtown Richmond Virginia directly across the street from the convention center.

Wow, hopefully it will start a trend, and we could get a few here in Texas. I know of none around here in central Texas, but if anyone does know, let me know! Maybe Austin has one I don't know about?

So close yet so far away. 2 hour drive on a good day. Still it's good to hear. Maybe they'll see the wisdom in opening a store in Hampton Roads, preferably on the southside. One can always hope.

YOU ARE SO LUCKY! Ive dreamt about such locations!

I'm looking for one in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. I found a couple of tobacco shops that sell a few things, but I would like to find a retailer that knew more about them. I knew more about their products then they did just by hanging out here a couple weeks.

That's interesting! There's a guy on this forum that's opening a store here in Michigan. Last report I read about it is that he got his first shipment of supplies but I'm mot sure if he has found a store front yet. I think this COULD be a trend.

Icebaron,

I have not found a brick and mortar in the area. I can say though if you need something asap, order from Vapor Kings. They are near Tulsa and I usually get my package in one day...2 at most.

Vapor Kings - JOYE 510, DSE801, RN4072, DSE901, RN4075, RN4062 and KR808D-1 e-Cigarette batteries, atomizers, cartomizers, e-Liquid, accessories and more!

Holy crap I'm going to Richmond this weekend and I was dreading it because I was positive they didn't have any E-cig stores there
SWEET!

How are the prices? How does the juice taste? How many different pv's do they carry? I'd love to go up there but is it worth the trip?

 

[NanC]

No such luck here in misinformed, progressive do-gooder-land (NY)...at least not near me.

 

[Zenfrogs]

I have heard of that place ... what kind of pv's ??

Thanks for the tip, was looking for someplace closer.

Here's their website: No Smoke Virginia

Well I was extremely happy to actually walk into a all brick and mortar e cig store but I must say I was not happy with my liquid purchase. I bought a 10mg 15ml bottle of menthol and I know taste is subjective and different for everyone but this stuff didn't even have menthol crystals in it! I'm like yuck, wtf? Anyway I get a PM from the owner of vaperheads.net who is also in Richmond, VA so I give him a call, told him about the bad tasting liquid I got from No Smoke Virginia and we hook up on the east side of Richmond in the rain. I sat down with him as he mixed me a fresh batch of menthol liquid. While I'm waiting his buddy is vaping off a big as battery mod with a drip tip and all I'm smelling is French toast. Needless to say I was happy with the fresh batch that was mixed for me and will be a repeat customer of VAPERHEADS.NET.

I vape different flavors but can't seem to shake the need for menthol first thing in the mornings and after eating.

BTW: thanks for the "Virginia is for vapers" removable bumper sticker!

 

[emygal]

no such luck here in the commonwealth of PA. There are plenty of head shops that operate under the guise of selling tobacco accessories around me but no one that I know of selling PV's.

 

[mskitty]

I'm jealous. I live in Atlanta wouldn't you think we'd have one? If there is such a world of wonderment here I can't find it.

 

[Stephra]

Sheesh, I wanna OPEN a brick and mortar... wish I had the capital to make it happen, I'd be on it in a minute.

I am exactly the same way. Well thanks for the warning about the liquid; I'll take your word for it.

Seems like Austin would be the place to find one, doesn't it? Something that would keep Austin both weird and smoke-free would be right in line.

Not very central for Texas, but there's a headshop in Houston (Smoke Dreamz) that has a small collection of PV stuff - cartridges, atomizers, and a few penstyle kits. They saved me from reverting to analogs my fifth day of vaping, when I'd killed all my Volcano atomizers on the foil over prefilled carts and couldn't vape again until an order of replacements arrived. They sold me a Janty Stick that I was shamefully reluctant to buy, having no idea what it was, and a spare 801 atomizer and cartridges. (It's now my favorite around-the-house gear and I feel great remorse that I ever doubted it.) The woman there spent most of an hour teaching me how to draw on it, how to use the manual button, and generally putting up with my ignorance and making sure I didn't feel like I was buying overpriced junk. They're never going to be my main source of juice, but it's nice to know they're there for emergencies.
