Hey everyone. I'm bad at these intro things, but I wanted to say hey. My name is Candace. (Or Candy) I am a Wife, Mom, YOUNG Grandmom, cannabis activist and the Founding Executive Director of The International Women's Cannabis Coalition. Not too much to say about my vaping journey. I am relatively new to vaping juice. I started, like most do I guess, to give up cigarettes. I was so tired of giving money to the opposition, (Big Tobacco),who pours millions of dollars into cannabis (and vaping!) prohibition every year. I was lucky enough to have a brother who is an experienced vaper, (who suggested I join this forum BTW) so I skipped all the in betweens, borrowed his stuff for a while and am now vaping on my very own, brand new Tabeco DNA 3o. It takes some getting used to, but I love it already. I love the flavor of a great juices (I'm a butterscotch and custard fanatic), I love making my vape stuff all sparkly, girly and pretty (you can't do that with a cancer stick!) and I love that I can breathe, smell and taste again! My brother promises to have me dripping in no time. :) Goodbye nasty cigarettes FOREVER!

Thanks for having me.

Good morning fellow St. Marys county folk. I am looking forward to the vapor place opening down here. I recently discovered one in La Plata that I drove down to and checked out over the weekend.

They did not have a ton of merchandise yet, I'm sure that will change as they continue to do business and grow. They had a ton of ego style batteries, tons of drip tips, and a nice little selection of juices. I believe they also have an Itaste MVP style box, and a mechanical or 2. One thing I found very pleasant was the atmosphere. The man and woman that were behind the counter were very friendly. Also, there were a group of people hanging out vaping. I liked that as well. I am excited about Vapor 99 opening this Friday. I will be visiting on Friday for sure!

Hey you guys... just dropping by to tell you there is a hold up on Vape 99 opening. They failed their inspection because a couple of pieces of drywall needed to be hung in the back. They've done it already, but the inspector wouldn't work with them and said he won't come back until next week. So it looks like they won't open until Saturday the July the 19th. :(

Hey hons! North of Balmer here. Just south of Kingsville. I spend most of me free time on the water somewhere between Miller's Island, Havre de Grace, Fairlee Creek, Kent Island, and Annapolis. And I actually know where California is (the nice one - not the one full of fruits and nuts). Nice to meet everyone!

Welcome!
Nice to meet you Boater. :) I have a daughter, a niece and a nephew at Towson University, so I'm familiar with the area. Any good vape shops up that way?

I haven't been by yet. Going to wait for the opening. I wish they'd hurry up. It's all the ridiculous bureaucratic nonsense in this county that's holding them up. I don't see any other reason the inspector couldn't agree to stop by for 5 minutes so they could open on time. Seems mean.

Believe it or not, I haven't set foot in a vape shop since the end of January. I'm a busy guy, so I have been buying my stuff online. I also DIY all of my own juice. I started vaping with a kit I got from the Vape Dojo. That was a nice shop. I bought juice a couple of times from Nettmix when I first started. They were pretty good. A friend of mine owns a shop called Gypsy Vape, but I have only been there once. I have been to SS Vape and The Vape Lounge once each as well. Both were okay. I liked SS Vape better. Sorry to ramble. Had a few Guinness tonight. o_O

And yeah... a couple of pieces of drywall should not hold up the pursuit of profit. Our government at all levels sucks.

Believe it or not I've only ever been to ONE vape shop. lol And that was when I was visiting my parents in the Outer Banks of NC in March. There's a shop on the beach road called Outer Vapes and we stopped by. Bought a few juices, but they were just kind of "eh".. ok. I'm sure they'll get better with more experience.

I know what you mean about busy... I'm a very involved mom and a grandmom, I run an international organization and pound the pavement in our state capital sticking my activist nose all up in the political process. :p Haha. I am lucky enough to have a vape knowledgeable brother who lives only a few miles away to do all the vape stuff for me. When I need something or have a problem.. I just go to him. :p I love to vape... but I don't want to do all the work.. I just want to vape good juice. ( I'm lazy sometimes and I know it!) :D

Went to the "grand opening" of Vapor 99, this past Saturday.. Only to discover it was not opening yet again. The owner was nice enough to let the small crowd of folks that gathered for the opening to come in and walk around and check stuff out. They have a ton of merchandise, a huge juice selection and everything you need to get started or stuff for the advanced vapor. I would like to see some RTA's though, maybe some kayfun lites, the Russian.. things of that nature. Although, its not going to matter what they have if they can't get the dang door open for business..

Thanks for the belated welcome bigbamboom. :) Oh and Junksie... soft opening tomorrow (Tuesday the 22nd) and Grand Opening on Saturday. My brother is managing the place and plans to get all the good inventory. The owners don't know too much about vaping, only that it is the next BIG thing lol Chris will set 'em straight. ;) Hope to see a lot of you there!

Candy, I did indeed make it. And I dropped over a hundred bucks in the joint. I purchased a new kayfun and a maraxus mechanical and a few other odds and ends. Love the place. Its going to be hard for me to stay away. There were a ton of people in the store. As far as I can tell, it was a hit!

@CandyVapes, I met your brother Chris today. They were still busy in the middle of the afternoon. He helped me find a couple new flavors to try out. Looks like a great place, I'm hoping to swing by again on Saturday wife the wife.

Thanks Uncle RJ. <3 And Vapor Beast.. awesome! I don't know if I can make it on Saturday, it's my hubbys 50th bday party. But we should try to put together a Southern Maryland Vaping Underground meet and greet there one weekend? I'm a whiz at rally and event planning ( I'm actually in the midst of planning the first ever Cannabis Freedom Rally in St. Mary's County) So I bet I could whip something up.
