B&M shops that sell cigs, snuff, tobacco and cigars

I don't know about y'all, but I am a bit concerned at the number of shops that have popped up selling smokes and tobacco products along with vaping gear. Quite frankly it pisses me off. I know all too well the margins of storefronts (I'm a Baker and Confectioner, the margins are really slim).

There's a few B&M shops in my area that are knowledgeable and have a good selection of gear from basic ego starter kits to mech mods and rebuildable gear. The tobacco vendors cum vape shops seem to have only sales of repackaged China juice and cheap, cheap vaping gear. I want to support legitimate vaping b&m's, but this stuff kinda bugs me. Anyone else think this way?

I totally agree with you.

Awhile back, Mrs. Uncle came home from a shopping trip and told me that the Discount Tobacco place where I used to purchase my stinkes had a big banner loudly proclaiming that they now sold E-Cigs.

So I had to stop in an take a look.

Overpriced Cig Alike kits, some really overpriced eGo knock offs, some CE series clearos (which I still think suck) and some E-Liquid that was priced at $15 for a 15ml bottle.

So I played dumb (really easy for me) and started asking questions.

The staff knew Absolutely Nothing) about the vaping gear.

Basically, the CE junk went on top of the eGo junk (which you plugged into a $15 USB charger)and you put the liquid junk into the CE junk and you will like it and can we please take your money. For the junk.

I could not really blame the poor gal at the counter.

But I really wanted to bitch slap the owner and done something a lot worse to the jerk that sold them the JUNK!

See? It's crap like that which just turns people off.

"Oh, I tried those things, they are TERRIBLE! I don't know how you can do it but more power to you if it helps you quit."

"NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND PLEASE LET ME SHOW YOU THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIGHT JUST PLEASE"

There's a B&M near me that sells junk ego kits, and wonder why people complain all the time. Knock off PT's, low end liquid, can't help new vapers because they don't know much, only want to sell. The only name brand item I saw was a PT mini 3, over priced, and some bats. A gal I know got a no name ego kit for $70, with disposable tanks. I gave her 2 evods I don't use anymore, so hopefully she'll succeed in quitting the stinkies.

Tap'n on my S5

Jeremy, Quit being an asshole....

your keywords were "knowledgeable and have a good selection of gear" ...

"morally" how you feel about how they have to supplement their income is simply your opinion...

now let's talk about something you do have control over... How do you feel about low fat pastry ???
