Hello to the Nicoticket family in PA! (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)

[Kent Brooks]

[h=1]Hello to the Nicoticket family in PA!
We're coming to town!![/h]

Katy and I are headed to Pittsburgh from 10-31-2014 to 11-3-2014 (for the Ravens/Steelers game) - we're planning a bit of a "family reunion" on Saturday night!

At present we don't have any solid plans for Friday night other than a trip to Primanti Brothers for some food... we're staying at the downtown Hyatt so I think we'll be hitting the Strip Location on 18th Street. We're very open to suggestions as to where else to check out while we're down there, or, connecting with you if you are interested!! We'd like to keep it close to the hotel so we can crawl back to the room and not drive (if possible!) After food, we would be very open to suggestions as far as someplace to go and hang out, have a good time, etc...

Saturday we're going to do a vape shop crawl...

So far... we're definitely hitting the following shops...

The Vapor Connection in Blawnox
Guntown Vape in Cannonsburg
Creekside Vapes in McKeesport

We're very open to suggestions to metro area vape shops that you consider to be "worth a stop." (It would be exceptionally helpful if you advised us on where to avoid, also - our time is limited!) We'd be happy to go out of our way to meet you at your favorite shop if we can work it out!

SATURDAY NIGHT: We're planning a get together - drinks and food (FIRST DRINK IS ON ME!!)

Where?

Jamison's
3113 W Liberty Ave, Pittsburgh, PA
(412) 561-3088

When? 7PM until CLOSE, if we can last that long LMAO

SUNDAY: We're going to be at the game on Sunday night, but we have no firm plans other than sleeping in, getting some eats, and maybe "getting off the beaten path" and looking for some "local haunts" in The Burg (not too interested in the tourist type stuff).

CONTACT INFO:

Clark's Cell - 402-889-6509 (Call or text!)

If you're interested, we'd love to connect... reply to this email, call, or text and we'll work it out!

Go Steelers!!

Wish I could come greet you folks in person and break some bread. It's about a 5 hour drive for me and I've got the kids Halloween parade on Saturday. Hope you both have a great time in the keystone.

 

[dragonflie]

Aw man, we're pretty far... At the other end of PA! Hope you have a great time though!

so jealous of anyone who gets to meet the two of you! have a fabulous time

 

[embee214]

When are you coming to NY???

 

[Augmented Dog]

I'm at the other end of the state, unfortunately.
Let us know when you make it to Philly.
If you've never been, that's more than enough reason to come here!

Jelly.......... just a bit.

 

[xpl0it]

Shame I'm not in the burgh anymore. Though I can live without putting fries on my burger, haha. Enjoy Primanti Brothers. Wishing you two all the best!

Kent how about we spell Pittsburgh with an 'h'.

 

[Megan Kogijiki Ratchford]

I'm two days hard driving away so not coming...lol One day I will make it to Omaha (10 hours away) so maybe we could get together in the hypothetical "then".

Everyone have fun!!!

Maybe he's putting on his Brooklyn accent?

 

[dragonflie]

Wait, I want fries on my burger! Why didn't I think of that!

Well if you're going that far, may as well go another 2 hours and hit Washington DC, I'll be glad to take you to a few shops around here and there's no shortage of food and drink in the district.

Just driving around DC would be an adventure for you Clark! You should go!

 

[jrenae4]

I could definitely make it to DC or Philly, Pittsburgh not so much Hope you all have a wonderful time!

 

[LynnNC]

Would really love to meet you both and see Pittsburgh again. It's only been 43 years since I was there last. But..its a 9 hour drive for me and I don't think I'll be up to it this weekend. Have fun!!!

 

[Zanaspus]

Wish I could make it. Bad weekend.

 

[baltoace]

My wife worked in Pittsburgh over the summer so i went up on a few weekends. Paying tabs with my Baltimore Ravens bank card was a fun experience!

OMG! You're coming to visit! Bring Virus! (And some CB... and maybe a tiny, tiny trial size of that Wakonda stuff???)

Seriously, though, how cool that you'll be in the vicinity. How are you getting in from the airport? If you need a ride, let me know. Vaping is allowed in the Balance-Mobile, though it's a tiny, tiny car and clouds up easily.

Saturday we're going to do a vape shop crawl...

So far... we're definitely hitting the following shops...

The Vapor Connection in Blawnox
Guntown Vape in Cannonsburg
Creekside Vapes in McKeesport

I love the Creekside Vapes folks. I stopped in for a coil for my mini Protank, and before I knew it, I'm puffing on the owner's setup. In addition to their own flavors, they carry Tasty Gold and a local fan favorite, Zuro's Milk. I mentioned NicoTicket while I was there, which they hadn't heard of at the time, but maybe they'll remember that some ditzy lady told them about being infected by some Virus thing.

You can probably avoid KommonCentz; they carry a variety of hardware, but only their own juice.

Of the two Vape Inns, I prefer the one in Bloomfield (Liberty Avenue), though it's smaller, I think, then the Vape Inn in Southside. The staff is very nice, and every weekend, they have Sub-Ohm Saturday. Vape Inn also carries Zuro's, along with Infusion, Liquid Gold, Vapetasia, and Herro lines of juice. (Or at least they used to; I haven't been in for a while. I'm a "supra-ohm" kind of gal, I guess.)

The Smoke Alternative in Squirrel Hill is tiny! They carry NicQuid and I believe recently added some Mt. Baker Vapor juices to the line up. Very nice staff, always willing to help a new vaper.

I've heard good things about the Blawnox store, and it looks like they carry a ton of brands, but I haven't had a chance to stop in yet. Nor have I visited the Canonsburg store; it's a bit of a hike from Pittsburgh. And in the completely opposite direction from downtown, the Iron City Vapor Lounge in Gibsonia gets pretty good reviews, and seems to carry more than just a house juice.

To plot your vape crawl, you might want to check out: E-cigarette store reviews where you can pop Pittsburgh into the search field. Best bang for your buck might be a visit to Southside - Vape Inn, Glassworx, and Innovative Vapors all within a few (ok, 10) blocks.

I really hope to make it to Jamison's on Saturday, but I'll warn you -- it's Breeder's Cup Saturday, a high holy day for horse racing fans. We might not be able to drive by 7:00, since we start with mimosas around noon when racing starts, move on to mint juleps around 2. Of course, the upside is, that if we hit it big on our wagers, I can move up to the 50 ml sample size!

Balance - all I can say is, "Jealous!"

Hope you all have a great time. Since I'm not a huge football fan, go Pens!

 

[balance]

Scratch - sadly, I'm not a hockey fan, but all my next of kin are right there with ya on the Go Pens!

I'm a bit surprised that more Yinzers aren't here, if only for the FREE DRINK! (Cultural note: Pittsburghers say "yinz" not you or ya'all, and by gum, they say it with pride!)

On the other hand, I've met a total of 1 vaper "in the wild" (ie- not in a vape store), so maybe we aren't the hotbed of cutting edge that I thought we were.
