Needed e-liquid, went to local B&M

I had to fly to NY on short notice, and didn't bring any of my favorite DIY juice. I needed some so went to a local B&M, only to find out that the only juice they carried was from China. They only had basic flavors, so I tried a few , and could tell these were juices I could not vape. The employees working there swore up and down this was the best juice on the market, the Chinese have been making e-liquid for ten years,so it's the best and all their customers love it. I told them if you don't give your customers any choices, of course there going to love your juice. The guy trying to convince me then told me in a sarcastic tone that I shouldn't call it juice, because it gives children the impression it is something good to drink. I asked if when school lets out he gets a mad rush of kids in the shop, he said, in a snotty way you have to be 18 to enter. I then told him its all right to call it juice no kids are around. I then told him that if we teach children about e-liquid then we probably don't have to protect them from it. Another employee then started to tell me how USA manufacturers of e-liquid don't know how to make it and the dozen or so vendors they tried were crap. I thanked them for there help and told them I would rather support an American juice vendor and left speechless. There's only one other vape shop in this area, I'll try there tomorrow, hoping for a better experience.

Lol. Best juice my ass. How much does FT sell a 30ml bottle of china juice for? 3 dollars? Imagine the price if you bought that wholesale from China. Sell at the same price as quality juice to unsuspecting victims and you've made a tidy profit. These guys are full of themselves. A lot of new shop owners that get into the industry for the money without any prior knowledge expect the "fake it til you make it" routine will work. It won't. I've seen a couple shops try and they get a bad review on yelp and a blacklisted on facebook. Now they only have the "loyal" customers that have never traveled outside of their first vape shop.

The problem is that this shop has no real competition, and their customers, who don't do there own research, believe whatever they say.

Same problem here in Southern Illinois. Vape shops with 500- 15000% mark ups and telling u they have the best lol

I have a shop like this by me . It's a tobacco and hookah store. But they advertise to be a vapor store too. Got 2 egos and a itaste vv/vw on display. And 10 cheap ass gas station grade ejuice favors. Wow they are awesome!

Oh and I forgot porn in the back of the store to

Yeah I avoid stores that cell vape stuff AND cigs. It goes against my moral compass. Porn though? Really?

I went to a local vape shop in SLC and the owner wasn't even a vaper. He tried to convince me that he didn't need to use his products to know that it tasted good. WTF! He had me try some of his juice and it was aweful. I told him I didn't care for it and I thanked him for his time. As I started to leave he pleaded and asked me to tell him what kind of flavors I liked. I mentioned a couple of flavors so he ran back to the back and mixed a few flavors up for me to try. Again... not my favorite and his final comment was that I don't have the pallet for his juice. lol

Later that week I went to my normal shop and told them about my experience. They laughed and said that owner had come to their shop a few months ago and bought about $300 worth of juice and had heard reports from other vapors that he was replicating the juice he bought using cheap flavoring.

You have to be careful. There are a lot of scam artists out there trying to make a quick buck in this industry.

Oh yeah these guys by me are in it to make a quick buck. I just don't understand how they stay open maybe the lotto and porn
