As the question implies.
I have three places to find LIMITED parts, accessories, and juice. At both places, the juice that they carry I have not heard of before and they don't know much about them other than 50/50 VG/PG nic level from 24-0mg. Plenty of flavors to choose from, a little on pricey too.
Now one of the shops is a head shop, a ton of items for the herb, and hookah. Every time I have been in the store it has plenty of traffic for the herb, a small selection of the usual e-cig stuff, and a few mods. They aren't very helpful and always talking about the current state of the legalization of MJ. Went in yesterday looking for a juice for an up coming wedding (not mine) and I wanted something a little different for the special occasion. The dude working behind the counter grabbed an assortment of juice and a battery for me to try out, but I couldn't get him to answer any questions about the flavors and what not, walked out and didn't buy anything, not the first time either.
The other shop is a smoke shop! One kid that works there is helpful and is pushy with mech mods (not my thing right now). They carry a little more selection of e-cig items, but most look like they have come from FT but at MFG prices. It too carries plenty of items for the herb, hookah, and smokes! Ugh!!! The main kid that does the vape stuff is into sub-ohm, seems knowledgeable enough. I've looked at his batteries and am skeptical buying one from him. (I will buy a battery form one of the trusted vendors here on ECF). Call me old, but I just don't get into that whole scene. Although some of the hardware are pure works of art. My current job does random drug screens and I just don't like being around a certain population, right know especially. I know that my local PD watches both of these places intently and have them under surveillance constantly.
I would like to find a VAPE shop, (the third option locally) but she had to close, due to insurance with the building. This place was great. Although she had limited knowledge about hardware but trying to learn. She made her own juices and shared her information, what kind of VG/PG, nicotine, she was using. Although her juice selection was a bit limited, she was always coming up with new flavors and took suggestions, prices were decent too . Once she made a juice just for me, asked me to come back in a weeks (after steeping) and give it try before putting it out on the shelf. How cool is that? I think some of her hardware did come from FT but she didn't have huge markups on them, satisfied I can't wait for the old man in the row boat syndrome.
So please tell me about your local B&M's, the good the bad and the ugly.
