Wish there were "Vaping Lounges"

[starwatching]

I have so many different types of e-juice that it would be nice if there was a vaping lounge where people could try any that I have, as well as share their own. We have a hookah lounge nearby, why can't we have one for vaping?

Love the idea. Maybe like the Oxygen bars....

However I guess given I only see another vaper about once a fortnight in London, there may not be the demand. Might be a good way for the successful independent retailers to expand their business. Half shop / half vaping lounge bar. I would certainly drop in if I was ever in the neighborhood.

Or maybe a once a month vaping get together. It would just be nice to try different juices without having to order them all.

There are a couple in Columbus, Ohio. Altsmoke is a storefront that has a vape juice-station, lounge chairs, television and Xbox. There is another I believe is named Buckeye Vapors. Probably not the type of "cigar" type lounge you had in mind, but at least you can be with fellow vapors to discuss the trade and share/try out new flavors and gear. I visited the Altsmoke store shortly after it opened, met the owner Rob and assistant Dimitri, great folk. Must have spent 2 1/2 hours just vaping and talking everything vapor.

There are a couple of Ohio vapor clubs, but from their forums there isn't much activity. Perhaps stir some new interest up?

There is an Altsmoke in New Philadelphia, but it's just a store from what I could see.

They do have excellent prices from what I saw.

Vaperite in Woodstock, GA has a sample area with a couch. You can try their flavors to help you decide what you want to buy... But, I've noticed the samples don't always taste like what you purchase.

This one time at a vape meet...

Just came back from a vape meet in south west Indiana. There were hundreds of ml's of juice being swapped around. Folks brought juice they didn't like and gave it to someone who did. Some brought juice they liked just to share. Drip tips were swapped and devices were tried out.

Second best is a vape B&M that has some lounge space. Most B&M's seem to have very little extra space, but there are some notable exceptions.

See if you can't get your fellow buckeyes stirred up and/or see if any group is doing something in western Penn. I'd invite ya' over here, but Canton is quite a haul.

I know it doesn't help you any in your location but we have a few like that here in Washington.

DFWVapor.com has a new retail location in Frisco, TX that has a lounge style couch, as well as a full length sample bar equipped with comfy barstools. If you're in the area, i'd certainly stop in.

There seems to be a rather large contingency of vapers here in Central Florida -- at Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando this year I was amazed at the number of pvs and mods I saw...a "vape lounge" would be cool. I've seen a number of hookah joints spring up the past few months; sounds like it would go great here....

The Vapor Spot in Los Angeles advertises the shop as a "vapor bar." You can sample juices, hang out, trade notes, etc. I have an interview with the owner that I'll be posting tomorrow.
