The impression I get when walking in? Dude, u a hipsta? Yeah, bruh. U vape? Yeah, bruh. Hired.

There ARE knowledgeable people in the business. There's a shop by work that gets great reviews, but I haven't gotten the opportunity to go there yet. The one nearest me, though...

I walk in and hipster A asks if I need help. I'm there for one thing, I ran out of chocolate mint so, I let him know I'm waiting for my regular supply, but would like a chocolate mint. Hipster A looks at hipster B and asks if they have any chocolate mint. Of course, with a thousand juices that might as well all be called "pretentious clouds", I can understand that, especially if he's not into those flavors. Hipster B, though is vaping something he thinks is a chocolate mint and gives me some to try (pre 8/8). Um, no, this tastes like motor oil. I forget what he called it, but it wasn't Ice Cream Man's Chocolate Chip Mint. I was polite though, I just said it wasn't quite there, but yeah, it tasted like an oil change. I'm not kidding. After about 15 minutes of them looking (keeping in mind he told me he was vaping something else), he comes up with the aforementioned name brand. BUT, they don't have samples. So they call the owner and ask if they can open it. He tells them no, but I can bring it back for exchange if I don't like it. Fine. I've got literally 5mls of MaddCatt's Choc de Menthe left because I forgot to order, so I buy it. I get it home... Motor Oil, maybe with a little potting soil thrown in, but motor oil. I could not even be bother bringing it back. I'd hate to walk in there with a coil issue.

Oh man, same exp but not as detailed.
What's with these manufacturers not allowing sampling..... Lame.

I honestly think here in California vaping ended up with the hipsters for a while. Not many vapors anymore and if there are they are probably vaping other things LOLL

Vape is banned at most establishments like cigarettes even in front of federal buildings. Must be 20ft away to smoke or vape.

I spend a lot of time in three different states so I get to visit quite a few vape shops. Of the many I've frequented, only two have shit birds for employees. The rest all have knowledgeable and helpful staff members. Sure they fit the mold of your common neck beard (backwards hat, beard, giant holes in the ear, etc) but generally good guys. I can't say the same for my other hobby, the shooting sports.

Have you tried Halo's Shamrock? I thought it a little weak, but not bad; lots seem to like it.

I guess the worst ignorance I've seen in vape shops are those who have no fucking clue that not everyone vapes high VG, that some of us prefer and require very high PG. It's not very common anymore, true, but still... it hasn't disappeared, because some people just can't tolerate inhaling VG, it's too thick and sticky. A young guy at my nearest B&M said "You vape 85% PG? I didn't even know that was possible!" I saw the owner give him a STFU look. :giggle:

I just think it's hilarious when I walk in with a 40-75w mod and an RDA on top and then exhale my thin mist, can't even call it clouds. They get a look on their faces like a dog hearing something high-pitched and unfamiliar. :giggle:

I haven't. But even if I liked it, it would have been the same problem, I forgot to order it. MaddCatt will usually turn around my order that day, if I order early enough, and they're not too far and not in a bad postal area (ahem, southeast, ahem), so I usually have my juice within three days. I just forgot to order. :( And, no, the shop didn't have Shamrock.

You might check around, see if any other stores anywhere near you might have it; Halo is a pretty common brand in stores.

Guess some shop owners want to sell high quality products and give high quality service, while others want to just cash on vaping by selling high and paying low.

Are people being censored on this site now, or were all the asterisks on purpose? If they are, that really sucks. That's one of the main reasons I left ECF.
Anyway, I know what you mean, the guys at the local vape shop here suck, too. They not only have a sparse selection, but they assume everyone vapes the way they do, and they don't even have an awareness of some of the major e-liquid brands. Frankly, I was not impressed by them. Their seeming lack of knowledge outside their own likes really left a lot to be desired...

Oh m'gosh, the mere thought of a "hiring process" frightens me with some shops. One of our servers came running to me one day in a tizzy - "Teresa, you need to go talk to this dude I'm waiting on, he's opening a vape shop in The Island and you need to talk to him about your juice and he offered me a job!" Now, this guy, my buddy Brandon, just started vaping. I brought him his first setup. At this point, he'd been vaping less than two weeks, and this old fart is offering him a job in a new vape shop...okay. Brandon nagged till I went out and introduced myself to the guy, who proceeds to lean back all cocky and tell me he wants to carry a new juice line. Okay. Wants to know what I can make, so I ask him "Whatcha want? Field's pretty open." He's looking for tobacco juices (ugh) and asks me to bring a few samples for his son to try. "He's a vaping expert... ( :teehee: )....he owns a 150w Sigelei...) ...Big woo, Gramps, I own three...:rolleyes:... I politely declined and went back to the kitchen and found Brandon, who was still giddy over the job offer...
Brandon: "He offered me a job! You think I should take it?"
Me: "I dunno, Brandon, you tell me. Can you build a coil?"
Brandon: "No."
Me: "What's a hybrid top cap?"
Brandon: "I dunno."
Me: "What's Ohms Law?"
Brandon: "Uhhh...."
Me: "What's the difference between regulated and unregulated?"
Brandon: "Well...if something is regulated, the laws are stricter...I think..."
Me: "What size batteries are in here?" (Hold up my RX200)
Brandon: "I dunno, but they've gotta be pretty big..."
... He decided not to talk to dude about a job, but the thought that anyone could walk in off the street and work for him kinda scared me. Like I told my friend, you have to know more than how to run a cash register. Some folks need information that could literally save their lives and body parts, and this guy was likely paying minimum wage to dumbasses that could get someone critically hurt...

Yep...worst part is the FDA regulations are killing good vape shops in California while the idiots at the hipster places are stacking them deep and selling them cheap.

At the point your friend Brandon mentioned "he's opening a vape shop in The Island" did you feel the red flags go up and hear the klaxon flaring?
This reminds me of 2 of my neighbors who I turned onto vaping *Bonny & Betty*
They started vaping less than 2 months ago and have had multiple job offers from vape stores in the area.You see they are both drop dead gorgeous but have less than half a brain between them.Don't get me wrong they're the nicest young ladies you'd ever want to meet.While in the meantime I haven't had even 1 job offer in the 3+ years I've been vaping.It might have to do with the fact that I look like an old redneck hillbilly biker.

The last vape shop I walked into I immediately left. The woman was obnoxious, rude and loud. Young teens with back packs lurked around the tables. I was extremely saddened and shocked at the same time. I'm trying to force myself to go to the local shop (one mile) from my house.

The red flags went up for me when he touted his son as the "vaping expert." For one, there is no such beast, and for another, we all know taste is subjective. What I consider an ADV could taste like swill to you. I know my juice is good, I've been making it and vaping it for nearly two years, so I'll be damned if I'm taking the opinion of a demi-vape god who thinks a 150w Sigelei is the best mod money can buy. I'm a big fan of Sigelei, but there's certainly better out there. I refuse to feel subservient to anyone, especially old, opinionated, uninformed assholes. So yeah, there were more red flags there than at a bull fight.

The object with eBay now is to wait and check every minute every second etc. It's the idiots that think there item is rare or better so they hike the price way up.

Hell no it does NOT. Some shops/stores are just a huge rip off. It's like the people on eBay selling stuff for 50x the price and fools paying for it.

Sure it does. If it's some crazy ass framed staggered stapled claptons that's very labor intensive, if it's some simple single stranded wraps than it is too much

just discovered a shop maybe 5 to 10 miles from my house yesterday which changed my whole concept on b&ms. dude knew his shit, had a sick personal collection of older mechs which i could appreciate and sold premium juice about 7 dollars less per 30ml than vaporshark, which i can also appreciate.
in miami not a lot of b&ms carry filipino, av, series and parallel mech variety and a nice assortment of tube mods. sat down with the owner for a couple hours just taking it all in and had a pretty good time in his shop.
i think only gripe i had, which i dismissed as a "to each their own" mindset, was the batteries he sold. something about rewraps kills me. if it doesnt make a tv, i dont buy it.
but hey still the best b&m i myself have been into. dude let me check out anything and he charged me a dollar to sample juices (cause he had to) but refunded it at the end with my purchase.
anyway, go into any vaporshark and all you see is bearded dudes in caps, tatted and pierced lol its funny how true that stereotype is.

Personally they make me miss the grunge era...Which I also fucking hated.

Hey im new on this site, not new to vaping. I was looking around and am suprised how many vape shops have staff that don't know anything about vaping.
I recently moved back to my home town, sadly away from a great vape shop with awesome staff the owner was there often and an avid vaper himself. So anyway I just moved back home and I find the closest vape shop because I had just run out of 24g kanthal. So I go to the shop which was pretty empty but nice. They did have and large display with disposable drip tip covers and tanks with a different one of their flavors in each. Had to be around 100. So I thought cool this place is gonna be good. I didn't try any of the juice tho I make my own and know the flavors I like. So I look around and notice they have vtc4s or 5s could tell couldn't see enough of the wrapper. But to me this was another good sign. However this is where it goes downhill. So I ask the guy are these batteries 4s or 5s he comes down and looks in the display and says no theres probably about ten there!? So I say no are they vtc4 or Vtc5 he says what do you mean? So I just moved on from there I asked if they had some specific items he said no but I later dicovered a cpl of them on my own in a display. So needless to say I was getting frustrated and disappointed with this store. And it really sucks cuz it only a cpl miles from home so it's very convenient. So besides this one guy not knowing anything about vaping they did have some good quality stuff and definitely decent prices. Anyway I decided to end my stay and just grab the kanthal and go so I looked around but didn't any out. So I asked what size spools of kanthal do you got? This was what really really surprised me and pissed me off cuz he says "we don't carry kanthal just nichrome" !! What kind of vape shop doesn't carry kanthal wire? Seriously like wtf is going there? I mean Nichrome is alright it's just not what I use. Besides a vape store HAS to carry kanthal wire right? I mean am I crazy or what? You can't call yourself a vape shop and not carry kanthal! So I didn't write the store off quite yet because I'm hoping there is maybe another employee or owner who knows what is going on. It seemed like someone did who put the store together. Maybe this was just all he could get for help at the moment so I'm gonna stop in a few more times and see. For all I know they have kanthal this kid just doesn't know what he's talking about. What really botheres me like others have said is that a beginner could come in with questions he doesn't know that answer to or just goes by what he thinks would work could get someone hurt seriously. Most beginners go into the stores looking for answers when they want to switch to vaping and that kid is not helping anyone. To work at vape shop you should have some knowledge enough to be able to recommend a safe starter kit or set up for what someone might be looking for not uh idk?! This one has cool flashy lights!?? Someone said it earlier part of it is definitely the wage issue I think I would love to work at a vape shop but I can't survive off what alot of them pay. Although I have considered looking into working in one part time. I think it could be fun I would love to help someone start vaping and pick out their fist mods. That's the best. I hope we can keep vaping going strong these regs could really f*@# us.
So that's my rant.

I got a horror story for ya. I got a good friend into vaping a year ago, and he has quit buying cigs. :) -He started out with "sensible" vaping equipment and all was good. The problem is that he lives 4 hours from me. I'm in Waterford MI and he is in Delaware OH. So he started frequenting local shops in his area. The next thing you know, they sell him a FUhattan all copper tube mod w/ Troll RDA. They tell him a good build is 24 gauge kanthal, dual coil, 5 wraps around a 5/64" drill bit. Keep in mind that my friend has no idea about Ohms law, never owned a mech, and never built coils. :crazy: At least they sold him quality batteries, LOL. Sure enough, his mod was getting "real hot" at times. WHAT THE FUCK......
Fortunately, I FORCED him to get a LED ohm checker/build stand. Now he builds around .35 so all is good now. He now tells me that they say at that place: "duuuuuude, nobody makes coils anymore, brah- just use these pre-made tigers/Clapton/whizbang coils. They sold him coils, FOR HIS MECH, that were .25 ohms and they said that dual coils should be da bomb. {exactly}

I am lucky as hell to live 10 minutes from DIY Vapor Supply in Waterford. They sell flavor concentrates. All of them, it seems. I believe it is the only B&M that sells them in Michigan. Also, most of the people there actually know what they are talking about {admittedly kinda cloud chase biased} but anything that I used to get online, I can get there. If you live in SE Michigan, it is worth the drive. It is nice to have every flavor you need and never need to do the waiting game because of shipping. :bliss:

Brandon: "I dunno, but they've gotta be pretty big..."
... He decided not to talk to dude about a job, but the thought that anyone could walk in off the street and work for him kinda scared me. Like I told my friend, you have to know more than how to run a cash register. Some folks need information that could literally save their lives and body parts, and this guy was likely paying minimum wage to dumbasses that could get someone critically hurt...

Older post, but I wanted to say something to you.

I remember when you came here to the VU. I remember the questions you asked me and many others.

Your knowledge has grown exponentially. You have really become an expert in the vaping community. It makes me very happy to see people like you here Teresa. You know your shit about vaping and DIY. I for one, appreciate ya, lady.

They get a look on their faces like a dog hearing something high-pitched and unfamiliar. :giggle:

Perhaps this is because those less acient than us, are able to hear sound at higher frequencys.

When you power up and prosecute your PG powered piffle-poofer, you are actually perniciously proffering pain. Like squeaking dolphins. Or as you suggested a dog whistle. lololol

Well I have hearing like a BAT myself, but I don't hear anything... except the click of the fire btn. :D One thing I love about my Achilles is that the full-metal body keeps it from being so loud with all the sizzling sounds. :D
