This is a true story that happened with my best friend during our trip to the Lehigh Valley mall in Pennsylvania.

It was a Wednesday evening, we were driving from our hometown of Washington, NJ to the mall in PA, with my 510 in hand and his brand new Joker PV in his. We drove a good distance until we finally saw the mall. Walking through the parking lot, we vaped until we got inside. We made our way through the department store into the main section of the mall. Our reason was a good one: to visit the Smoke Free kiosk, which were selling overpriced and outdated e cigs, mainly for profit. We searched the mall for the kiosk, vaping while people that passed by us, obviously thinking "ZOMG!"

We finally made our way to the kiosk. Hiding the 510 and Joker like 2 Jedi's hiding away their lightsabers, we approached the vendor. He greeted us kindly and showed us the e cigs he was selling. I cannot recall the models that the vendor was selling, but they looked like ordinary cigs to me. My best friend and I tried one...I kid you not, the vapor was low and the taste was pretty harsh, obviously the vendor had no idea what he was selling. After talking to vendor about the prices (he has receipts pricing from $100-320!), we decided to set this man straight. Showing him our e cigs, we told the vendor that he was selling outdated models, ripping people off with crazy prices. We were kind enough to offer him a quick vape from our e cigs, as well as a card from electronicstix.com to use for selling better models. HOWEVER, the vendor became VERY hostile towards us, accusing us of ruining business for him (as soon-to-be customers were looking at us and realizing the facade that was going on with the vendor). We had no choice but to leave, in fear that the vendor would *ahem* stick his novelty vaporizers down our trachea.

Despite our futile efforts to help a lost soul, we did manage to talk to a few people about e cigs, as well as freely vape in the mall without fear of being told not to like how it normally would be in NJ.

I like to thank you for giving your time to read this, and hope someday...those kiosk vendors would have a change of heart and stop selling inferior models MAINLY for profit.

yes, the mall peoples sell crap, and will untill i/you/someone can get some SD's, SB's, egonados, sticks, attys in 401,510,901,801, e-liquid in 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50mls in 0-54mg(for mixing) in about 30 flavors in a spot that the rent wont take the first 40-50 sales to pay said rent...

i'm with quasimod on this...fun, but getting someone mad ( I am NOT TRYING to you mad with above) having a story of my own:

at calexpo 09, 2 spots away from me (me not selling anything e-cig related) was a e-cig spot selling the crappy "OMG" labled e-cig, me blasting away on my SD, and a copper 510, the guy running the spot came by and asked about cart life, and why so many returns, showed him cart size difs and said how can yours last for a pac of smokes when this 901 cart lasts about 3-4 cigs and my cart is 10x the size of your cart? he said ah, changed the spiel in what the girls were saying and that helped him...

Thats good.

I have never met any, but it seems most kiosk salesman don't even know what they're selling- they don't even realize its an inferior product, they just think its cool and cutting edge.

Makes me want to start my own kiosk, with proper supplies.


Also, Jaganic: everybody dance!

Trust me, we danced our toe socks off back to the parking lot. We mainly did that for craps and giggles >=D

Mean...yes. Right on the target...yes! And trust me, the vendor was SPEECHLESS when he saw my best friend's Joker. Plus he spoke broken English...was curios if he just came to this country, js:vapor:

I'd watch that dancing in the parking lot - there have been shootings at that mall!
