Brick and Mortar vape shop near you

[BillyP]

Are there any shops near you that sell e-cig and related products exclusively.
Was just thinking how cool it would be to go to a shop and sample juices before I buy them.

Do you know of a place like this near you or possibly opening soon?

Would you support a brick and mortar store if it had a 20% markup over your online sources?

How cool would it be to have a lounge type atmosphere with couches to sit, chat and sample?

Are there legalities that keep these type of shops down?

I'm a 15 minute drive from VaporBomb. They have all the attributes you list, and yes I've been there. Any vapers who live in the Akron area should really stop by sometime.

I was thinking of maybe doing something like that. The only issue I could see is with juice, local and government agency's might have an issue with the sale or in store tasting since it is put into the body and is not government tested or held to a set production standard. But that would be something that would have to be checked on by a store before they open. Some cities get annoyed if you do something and they don't have their sticky fingers in it. Plus you would have to check with the police to see what you need to do to make sure you are complacent with laws keeping kids away from nicotine. Someone mentioned that a 2 part business plan would make more sense so you can make money two ways. Like a coffee/vape store or a bar/vape store. Anyway I also think that it would be a great thing to have in an area.

Pretty far away from my neighborhood, but the good folks at Vermont Vapor have a retail store.

That is nice. Do they let you vape samples in store?

We've got one fairly close to here. 27 mile round trip from my home. Been there once and it's nice to know they're here.
Quality inventory with PVs, juice, adapters and other accessories. Friendly staff too!

I know freedomsmokeusa just opened a store with a vaping lounge in Tulsa, AZ and Volcanoecigs opened one in Hawaii.
Wish there was one here but we did find a sports bar that lets us have our vape meets and gives us a private room so we can vape our heads off...lol

 

[Vapenstein]

yeah they do. A family owned business, run by the same people who make the juice. They also make their own tobacco extract, and their tobacco juices are among the better ones out there. Good stuff, reviewed two so far, liked both, gave one a Vapenstein It's Alive! Award.

Just found this Vape Lounge from Volcano, looks very cool

goodprophets is opening up a store about an hour away from me very shortly. Hoping to hear when they are doing the grand opening so I can go hang out.

Here's their web site ... Smokin' Vapor

You'll see they have two main PV lineups ... but at least one of them is eGo. That's what a couple of the guys were using when I was there. The other is NJoy. But, hey, they cater to people who are new to this and might be looking for a cigarette replica. Hopefully, potential customers will be swayed by the staff's preference.
.

It's not a big shop, but it's a start! If they hang in there, maybe they'll grow.

Sweet, I wish there were more pictures of the inside. Does seem like a smallish shop, nice to see they carry the Joye Ego

 

[Goldenkobold]

they also carry the electronic pipe which I was surprised to see but thought was very cool

 

[BillyP]

Wow, thats a short list. There must be more.

 

[Scottitude]

Sample stock:


Note they carry blue foam for cartridge mods; how cool is that?

Thanks Scottitude! I've been making monthly or bi-monthly trips to Detroit (from GR area) to see my sis who moved down there. I'll have to check it out next time
