I am somewhat curious why vape shops don't carry supplies to make your own e juice. I understand they make good money on their juices but for the people that do make their own, the shops are losing that sale all-together. Brew shops carry supplies to make beer and they also make good money; why then, can't vape shops do the same with juice?
I will be spending the next 3 weeks in Albany, NY for work and was wondering if there are any vape shops that are good to visit?
Here in the Portland, Or area there are quite a few shops so we are kind of spoiled with the quantity and quality of the local shops.
I've noticed a lot of online vape shops are closing. Brick and mortar shops are still open in my area, so it doesn't seem like they're being affected. I've been getting emails from online shops announcing their closing dates. Do you think it is from all the vaping hysteria going on and flavor bans? Are brick and mortar shops closing in your areas?
Most of the shops were in the UK or Canada. Does anyone know why this vape kit is not being sold through US retailers?
So I walked into a B&M today for the first time. They have a couple of cabinets full of supplies and juices. All the workers seemed really snobby! They asked what I vape on and pulled out my istick 50w w/ Subtank Mini. They basically scoffed at me. Not only that, but they are selling the Subtank Mini for $85!! That's almost double the regular price.
I casually mentioned that the price might be wrong, and they said nope. They said, and I quote,
"New people have no idea what prices look like. They don't know it's cheaper online, so don't let anyone know. We gotta make money somehow."
....seriously? I understand markups for profit, but this? It's ridiculous. They also sell 15ml juices for $25. They have a small display case of space jam, but when I asked for Andromada, they kept insisting their juices are better.
Has anyone experienced shops like this?
I HIGHLY recommend if you're new, check out stuff online first. I'm all for supporting your community, but beware of stuff like this. Check out online prices just so you know what to compare them to!
How many of you (in the u.s.) are seeing local Vape shops close? I know of one that is closing, mostly due to pending regulations :-(
After being disappointed with the vape shops in Philadelphia, I saw an odd looking store that had "vapes" on an outside sign. It was a pawn shop! One section of the display case was filled with decent mods, and decent atomizers. It was better stuff than I saw in the vape shops. I bought a new still-sealed-in-the- box Pioneer4you iPV5 mod for $60. I found out later that the going price on elementvape.com is closer to $50. Lesson learned, knowledge and the willingness to haggle are necessary.
But still, this opens up possibilities as things get worse. Anything used, of course, would need to be checked out and should be discounted as used merch.
Its sad to think that things are coming to this.
I live in the mountains in Spain & do not receive any info regarding vape shops being open here. I just wondered if anyone knew? I have tried an Internet search with no luck..
Any help appreciated
Down to my last coil & the liquid you really didn't like but now have to use
After seeing devastating news all over the world (India, USA), Lithuania's government is stubborn enough to kill everything I loved about e-cigarettes with a click of a button. Boom.
From 2020 onwards (ban is still pending though, but read below, you'll get your answer, knowing how my government blindly accepts ridiculous bans and such), shops won't carry e-liquids with anything other than bare bones tobacco flavored ones. It would be a miracle if one of the guys who came up with this stupid idea would make his mind.
It's devastating... Even our biggest vape shops couldn't do anything at the meeting, their remarks and talks were all ignored.
Funny enough, CEO of Philip Morris Lithuania actually said something about competition and started laughing afterwards. Soon after he was asked to leave the meeting. That's saying everything I wanted to know. BIG TOBACCO IS PAYING.
I'm like sitting at vape shop, reading these news. My hands are shaking.
EDIT: I'm adding one of the articles on this exact matter. Just translate it to English and you should understand 95% of the article without issue.
E.cigarečių pardavėjai kilo į mūšį dėl išgyvenimo – protestuoja prieš M.Majausko pataisą
I have called 15-20 vape shops in the southern california, orange county area and not a single one of them has a Vapor Shark rDNA 40 in stock Are they that popular or do shops just not order a lot for their stores. I hate waiting for things to come in the mail and I am willing to drive 20-30 miles to get one but not even that is an option. I wish there weren't a million little shops here and there. We need a big orange county cape shop that carries all the bigger brands and doesn't run out after a day or two after getting them in the shop.
IF ANYONE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA KNOWS WHERE I CAN GET A VAPOR SHARK RDNA 40 PLEASE LET ME KNOW
Hey everyone! So it’s clear that things are changing for all of you who live in the USA. I truly feel for all of you, and I still can’t believe this is happening. But, what is the impact that this is going to have in all of the other countries that basically depend on the US market?
I live in Perú and in most shops, if not in all of them, most of the juice that is sold is directly imported from the USA. Does this mean that we won’t be able to purchase these items anymore either? And what about new devices? I’m aware that most of them are made in China but under American brands.
I understand that the USA has probably been one of the biggest markets in regards to vaping. How is this whole thing going to impact the rest of the world? Our vape community isn’t that big, it just started growing last year. Stores don’t really make their own e-juices, it’s hard to get good quality ingredients.
I’d really appreciate your thoughts <3
