In the meantime every purchase has been online for me so far - and yes it's probably due to Bloomberg and his ridiculous regulations. At $13.00+ a pack, the gov't here has ALOT to lose, so they're keeping a lid on things :grr:

Wow, the prices have gotten that bad? I remember living in NYC in the late 90's/early 00's and my NYC friends would poke fun at California the nanny state that had just banned smoking in bars. :laugh:

Ohh you have no idea. It's pretty much a crime to smoke anywhere now. Subsequently though, very few smokers, I hardly see any...even on weekends outside bars/clubs. Plenty of vapers tho! :2cool:

Vegas is jumping with vapers and stores as well. Plenty to chose from..........

X2 on that one year ago when I started their where like 4 stores now there are 20 in a 15 mile radius of my house. Evert thing from smoke shops with vape stuff to a diy juice store with classes on making your own juice and stores that sell and will set up your drip set up for you and teach you how.

You wanna throw a few of those up here to NorCal? I live in the far East Bay and the closest one to me is about 30 minutes away or so. Only get to visit it when I get together with a friend who lives in the area. About the only thing we have close to me is a few smoke shops that sell cheapo stuff.

There's a somewhat new shop in Walnut Creek, The Vapor Lounge. Great crew, good selection of gear. I think they only sell one or two juices they make, the rest are an average selection of juices, pre filled (I only buy Tasty Vapes right now). It's downtown, on the same street as the DMV, a block up.

I was shocked to find out there isn't much up in the SF area myself. My wife's bff lives up there and in the city of SF, there are like 3 stores. I can spit on 3 stores from my house in Orange County....

Hi Oxtail. Denver is starting to gain some traction, but I wouldn't call it well developed or a hotbed at present. But vaping is growing in here. I've only been vaping for 45 days (same # as tobacco free days, but who's counting) and have only gone to one store in town, though there are a few others I'm sure I'll be checking out. I moved from LA to Denver 20 years ago and remember that LA has more of EVERYTHING than most places (the good and the not so good).

I've only been in Denver a few months but I've only seen a few vape stores. One chain with proprietary gear and horrible markups one with mostly evods and lots of juice and one nearby with mods tanks rbas did juice and the like but with a significant markup. Have seen vapors in the wild which I expected from a health conscious city. I got into vaping and off analogs before I moved from Meridian MS, aside from gas station cigalikes that town has 2 smoke shops and they carry ego clone setups and juice. Didn't know anyone else in Meridian that vaped, hell it was someone out of town visiting our office sporting an ego that got me looking for one (well that and trying to find a place in Denver, many renters are mot smoker friendly)
