Brick & Mortar vendors - Please let us know where you are...!

[Nubiwan]

I use VaporSearch to locate e-cig STORES on my travels around the US & Canada.

Found a new (to me) store in Oregon recently. (Oregon seems to have some e-cig opposition in government - don't know the facts)

But, some 'tobacco' stores are easing into e-cig stuff which could be handy for folks who aren't locals. Personally, I am very happy to order online when I am buying something I already know but, I am hoping this industry will create a solid future for brick & mortar shops. My favorite 'local' shop is ecigexpress which is 2 hours away!

OR, Am I missing another source of information on shops where you can walk in and see what they have?
While I am at it, I wish more stores had flavor test cartos like the ecig-crib near the Twin Cities. I'd bet they sell more juice than the places that only sell "samplers". I have visited nice shops like MYPV.com (Sparks, NV) where they were apparently startled by the idea.

Folks like me and truckers wouldn't be the customer base to build a business on but typically I visit first and then order online.
One last suggestion - don't let the new kid in the shop try to sell pv mods - makes me think of Radio Shack or McDonalds- an old guy like me thinks the salesperson should know at least as much as I do.

If so, that would explain the sort of 'speak-easy' feel to my visit (North end of Salem)!

I have stopped at two casinos in Oregon several times this year, no one has approached me about vaping up the place. Am I an outlaw or is it just tobacco shops? Hey, the Walmart in Salem right off I-5 is where I got started buying their Mistic (Mystic?) brand, so they can't be too serious about a ban.

Taxes? Truth to tell, I often hold-off on purchases until I am going thru Montana or Oregon.

Keep on Truckin'.

My EC Blend juices come from Oregon... And usually makes it to NC in three days.

Check out The Vaporium in Lakewood. It is on Bridgeport and about 106th. Also, there is a store in Puyallup off of 154th and Meridian called Vaperz. The vaporium has a way better selection though and you can try out as many juices as you want! Those are the only ones I know of thus far, but I am also pretty new to vaping, will have been a month next week

Thanks Ashlee, I gave up on the Vaporium when I couldn't get thru on the phone (a couple months ago).

There's a new Brick and Mortar store in Kennewick, WA

Smoke Stop Vapor
113 W Kennewick Ave
Kennewick, WA 99336

Gary doesn't have a lot in the shop yet (no online sales either). I'm hoping that will change as he gets more business. On the other hand you can try all the flavors he has in stock. If you get a chance, stop in

smokestopvapor.com


Edited in an attempt to just show the URL for the website instead of all the fluff that goes with the link.....

Also, I am currently in Eastern Oregon and as far as I know that is the closest shop to me...

Yeah, the Vaporium is a busy place, there are always a ton of people in there, but you asked for a brick and mortar lol. They do have a website, all be it a crappy one, The Vaporium - Untitled and also a facebook page if you have that
