I think what bothers me about the whole thing is that I am big on supporting local business. I would much rather pay a little more at a mom & pop grocery than support Walmart. But if local businesses are going to gank us on prices, then I feel there is no choice than to go elsewhere. I understand paying more because of the personal expertise of the people behind the counter at a good vape shop. I also understand that when buying their juice, you are not just paying for their supplies, but the expert crafting of the person that took the time investment to come up with and make that juice. *DISCLAIMER- NOT ALL SHOPS HAVE ACTUAL EXPERTS AND NOT ALL JUICES WERE EVER WORTH MAKING* I just know that a 300% mark up on a product that you did not create, put together, or often times don't actually know much about is not good business. I also understand that many of these shop owners fell into this business with no prior experience, but that is no excuse because the "medicinal h*rb" dispensaries in Washington & Colorado are mostly run by first time business owners, too, and they know the merits of not price gouging. But we do all have choices, and mine will be made according to my needs. I really didn't mean to start an argument about all this, but rather was venting about not having a local shop that I feel is worth supporting. It is what it is and we all have our opinions about what that means for us. Happy vaping... the one thing everyone here can agree on! Cheers!
