Educating the Mall Kiosk guy

[SarahTheRed]

I live in a rather small town at the moment, and our mall doesn't have a mall kiosk. Well, I went to a wedding recently in another town (also rather small), and was suprised to hear they had a Smoking Anywhere kiosk. I stopped by to check out what they had, and the whole interaction was hilarious.

I started by asking how much their kits were ($150? 8-o), and ended up chatting with the dude for about 10 min. He was SHOCKED by my 18mg juice -- "Isn't that *really* strong?" and amazed by my tiny 8084 model. He'd never heard of different models of PVs, or dripping, or online vaping forums.

I ended up sharing a bit of my LiquidXpress Taboo juice, but he wouldn't drip it; he was too scared it would "break" his cig. Left him with a bunch of websites, including this forum. Perhaps he'll take the time to actually learn about the product he's selling, beyond the script he's been taught to sell. (Somehow I doubt it.)

I am ever indebted to "Smoking Everywhere"!

If it weren't for them, I probably would not be sitting here with my Prodigy, nor would I have a Pen kit or 901 kit sitting on standby. Not to mention the PS Passthrough and the plethora of other non Smoking Everywhere stuff.

No, I never purchased an e-smoke from them, nor will I ever, however, they are the ones who jumped in the public eye for most of us, not to mention I think they are one of the companies fighting the FDA on keeping it available.

Anyway, I know lot's of folks here don't feel the same way and I will probably get some flack for this post, but so be it. Without there bold marketing strategy, I might still be smoking analogs.

I have to agree with panderson. Smoking Everywhere got me started vaping, and it is because of them that I ended up in this forum. While I know I payed way too much for my 4081, it does work well and I am happy with it.

I agree between the dweeb at the mall and my brother that is how i got started vaping .

The OP mentioned "Smoking Anywhere" and not "Smoking Everywhere" so it may be a different company altogether. Either way at least these kiosks are providing a bit of public awareness and helped some, but there are also many horror stories about inferior products, ridiculously high prices and lack of support from a lot of them too.

The RN4081 is a work horse and I've had very few attys die on me. I do have a problem with the batteries which is why most of them get modded. That isn't a bad thing because the atty works great on the mods.
Just don't buy from S A, they are a ripoff. Believe it or not, and mostly on the Internet, there are some great sellers. Heaven's Gifts being one of them.
