Hello, KWTony here.

Kwtony here, 10 year resident of the keys. I dont smoke cigs anymore but i did get my roommate off cigarettes over a year and a half ago. Im the geek and builder of household and therefore took the initiative to get her off those horrible cancer stick and keep her pens running and going at all times.

I mix flavors and make my own juices as well. I have a small list of flavors that I have been playing with.

Very Very cool kwtony!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so jealous lol. Would love to live and work in an environment like that ! The stress level must me so low. I always said when you work in a place where people are vacationing and having fun they are generally happy. So it's better to work there. Instead of up here where it's a rat race and people are nothing but angry and selfish !

There has been one store that has been a HUGE help for me and my roommate, this place is called Vapor Keys and is located in Key West. They have a fantastic selection of incredibly well made flavors. I dont work for them, I dont get paid for them. But if you are planning a trip down to the Keys anytime soon, you would do yourself a huge injustice if you didn't stop in.

The all day flavor we use from him is known as Blue Water Fruit Blend. I store in my homemade lobster trap steep box.

Thank you for the kind words, but i can assure you that my particular job and business its quite the opposite. I dont want to get in to the incredible amount of work and responsibly thats involved in what I do. That being said, when everything is going well, its a place to behold. If you are ever in the Keys, come by and say hi!

Yes that sounds awesome ! Now I'm really leaving for work, no kidding lol. Keep posting pics like that and no ones going to believe you that what you do is work lol. I do know though, everything has it's ups and downs and the grass always looks greener on the other side. However if you can do a job that's fun and you really love what you do........that's the ultimate job !

My Aunt and Uncle left Syracuse NY and moved to the keys. Many years ago. They became dive instructors at Florida Keys Dive Center (I think that was what it was called). They lived in Islamorada. Welcome to VU.

I actually remember that shop down there! One of my best buddies from the Army is now a street performer in key west (he can make anything out of balloons lol) and I was down there visiting him about 5 years back. I've got to get back there someday soon, if we do I'll look you up for a jetski ride!

Too funny. Im about 95% sure I know who you are talking about. I also have a good friend who is called 'balloon boy" im sure they are two rivals down at Mallory Square.

My very first night in key west, i was at Mallory Square and was pulled from the audience, instructed to chain up a black street performer and hang him upside-down while he escaped from his straight jacket faster then Houdini.
