I supported a B&M today. Show off your buys

How do you like it?
I like it a lot. Hits pretty hard, small size. Feels really solid. The Thundercloud Plus is really nice too. No regrets at all with this purchase.
Thank you.
A Local B&M that carries a lot of authentic goods prices the same as online, sometimes even less, and premium juices are also same price as online too.
Another local B&M that carries mostly clones and your typical fastec goods, everything is priced well above what you can get online, and funny thing is they even have their own website under a different name, which also sells for considerably less.
So it really just depends on what you are looking for, and what your local B&M specializes with.

Cool, thank you for the info. I actually thought it was the positive on the 510. I realized when I looked to see when I got that the guy was full of bs. It still had 2 days on the shop warranty. I am upset it quit working. I am more disappointed with the CS of the shop.
Yup..
I joined that group long ago...unfortunately, most of the activity is way far downstate (I live near Saginaw) and I rarely get down that way...I will be at VapeXpo (again) though...
I understand what you mean with "way far downstate" from Saginaw but it struck me as comical since I'm a Yooper from Marquette.

Snow is slowly going away. Mostly gone here in town but probably 18" in the woods.
No vape shops around here. There's a smoke shop that has a few things. I stopped in once and was very disappointed. Not much there and the employee didn't know squat. The closest is Houghton by MTU but that's. 2 hours.
I've tried joining the MVC several times over the last couple months, with no response. I've even private messaged all the admin's with no response.

That's weird. Did you join the right one? I know they are adding new members every day. Michigan Vapors Club (M.V.C.)

Haven't joined anyone. They never respond. Just tried it for about the 5th time. No response. I also PM'd each one of the admins shown here.. nada

Nillionaire took a minute to grow on me but I think it's excellent now. I was just in another new shop earlier and bought a little 15ml of another IVC juice called Glen Coco which is a vanilla custard with berries. I know MVC is doing a group buy for 180ml of Nillionaire in a limited edition red flask. I believe it's only like 65 bucks.
Sent from my HTC One M8 Harman/Kardon edition
It must be a better price than 65 bucks for a group buy. Their regular 180ml bottles are 67 w/ free shipping.

That's definitely the place. The admins that seem to be on most frequently are Sharon McConnell and Chris Van Assche.

Maybe. I don't remember the price. I do know it's a limited edition red flask. I'd jump on one but my girlfriend is already bitching about my vape spending.

Just PM'd those two again. We'll see what happens. If they don't respond, I'll start another group
Went into Saginaw Township yesterday so that my GF's son could pick up something from Gamestop that he wanted. While they were in there, I went into a tobacco shop that was next door in this strip mall because I suspected they might have some vape stuff and I was curious. Holy crap. They had some nice gear and popular juices and the pricing was better than Wild Bills. Better than some online vendors as well. Amazing.

There is a tobacco store around here like that too who I always see advertise on MVC. I haven't been in there yet because he is a little too far away. With Wild Bills, you have to play their coupon game I've noticed.
Here are their coupons for the month of April. These are good every Wed and the coupon book is available in their store.
I get even better coupons then this though from coupon circulars that come in the mail.

RobertB, did you join MVP? I requested to join. This morning and within 15 minutes i was approved. Talk about fast
Sharon finally responded and said she would approve it. She said she couldn't tell I was from michigan, but then again, she never responded to my requests to ask.
Here's another FB group worth while to join "Michigan Smoke-Free Alternatives Coalition (M.S.F.A.C.)"

That's cool. It really is a good group too. I also belong to the one you just posted and a lot of the members there are also on MVC.
Where are you in MI by the way? I'm in Roseville.

I'm in Midland
We are really close...I'm near Saginaw...used to live in Bay City and worked in Midland...ever go to Cig Free Vape Shop on Saginaw Road?
No, but been to House of Vapor in BC, and Killer Juice in BC. I'll check it out tomorrow. Didn't know there was a vape shop here in Midland. Thanks for the heads-up
I didn't know they were there either...I work in Saginaw and a coworker who lives and Midland told me about it. My GF wanted to go to the Midland Mall a couple of weeks ago so I dropped by there on the way. The owner is a nice guy. The prices are hit and miss...some stuff is reasonable and some really high...I bought a dripper while I was there. The Vapor House recently opened up another store in the Midland Mall...dropped by there as well that day...picked up a Coil Master there...
Oh...there's also Smokin' Vapor in BC on Midland St. ...just in case you didnt know...

Cool. I pass through there from time to time on my way to see my dad in St Helen.

LOL....no problem....you dont need to get around...just read the forum and find out where everything is ...oh,and if you get out to Saginaw, The Vapor House also has locations inside Fashion Square Mall and on Michigan by the courthouse...Kalamazoo Vapor also recently opened up a shop in a strip mall right across the street from Fashion Square Mall...

They need to open more shops up north. I made a joke on MVC when stuck at the Bavarian Inn for three days without my kanthal that the somebody in Frankenmuth could open a vape shop and could call it The Vape Haus. With all the traffic that passes through Frankenmuth and the Birch Run outlet mall, I'm sure it would be very successful.LOL....no problem....you dont need to get around...just read the forum and find out where everything is
Sent from my HTC One M8 Harman/Kardon edition
Absolutely...there is a ton of people in that tourist trap at any given time and it certainly is a well used path to and from Birch Run...everything else there is German themed so why not a vape shop?...

I try and stay away from that trap but my girlfriend loves it and very much made me spend $2k in three days. Then had the nerve to complain about my DNA 40 and Aeolus RDA when we got back. lol.

Picked up my first mech today. I've been considering one for a while to use with my Mutation and, of course, on my trip to the B&M to pick up a bottle of juice and some unicorn bottles, I ended up spending a bit more than expected...
SMPL mod with a custom wrap. Originally done by Doomsday Juice, but the shop owner ended up doing a 'co-branding' (for lack of a better term). So, here is my Doomsday/Kick 'n Butts SMPL mod

I picked up an Atlantis v2 last night at Ozark Mountain Vapors in Rolla Mo.
The air flow is bat shit crazy, just seems strange to be running a tank at 80w.
I'll give an opinion after a couple days of use, but so far so good.

Stopped in an outta the way shop today and to my delight they had the Dotmod friction fit drip tips!
I was waiting to bundle it in with my next order because i haven't seen em in a shop until today.
The lack of an o-ring allows for a much larger opening. This tip is absolutely stellar. HIGHLY recommended for anyone in the market for a new drip tip!!

I guess this should be a "I supported a B&M today and a few days ago too". Went to my favorite shop on Thursday " just to pick up some juice" and ended up walking away with a Kanger Subtank Mini, which I adore. The stock coils are wicking my higher VG juice no problem and even the RBA section seems to be working better than my Lemos.
Today, thanks to the kindness/gullibility of my girlfriend I made a trip to the same store where she was kind enough to buy me an early birthday present, a Sigelei 150W. Fantastic mod so far. Only issue was that it turns on the first time by default at 100W. Accidentally fired it with my Subtank attached, destroying the stock .5 ohm coil. Luckily I had the 1.2 on hand for a quick swap, but it does mean I'll be picking up more sooner than expected.
The Darth Vader sticker had been sitting on my bookshelf for months waiting for the right home. It was no question once I saw the red mod and tank together that it had found one. All together, I call it my Sith Setup.

Picked up a set (finally) of ceramic tweezers at a new b&m near me. By far the nicest looking shop i have ever been in. Every single employee introduced themselves and shook my hand. I was treated so nicely that i couldn't walk out empty handed. I also popped in VaporShark and picked up a Freakshow Mini which i've been wanting for a while. Vaporshark had them for the same price as the online shops ($30) so i couldn't help myself

That's really nice of your girlfriend to get you the mod for an early birthday present. I just hope it didn't come at the expense of the normal birthday blow job. While mods are are really nice gift... birthday blowjobs are priceless.
J/K of course. All in good fun. Congrats on a nice mod (and I hope you still get the blow job)

One more for me, but less expensive than last time. I went into my B&M to spend some of the rewards points I had built up for juice. While there I couldn't help but look through their Spring Cleaning sale box and found this little gem
I love the thing. Very restricted airflow by RBA standards, but the flavor is phenomenal. I've been looking for a smaller, flavor geared RDA to use as I've just started mixing flavors and wanted something to use for testing. After some fiddling to get a passable dual coil setup working, I honestly think I may prefer this Atty more than my mutation in almost every respect.
All together I walked out with 30ml bottles of Coval Pearberry and Raspas and the Quasar for $14

I still think the Quasar is one of the best flavor Atties you can get in 22mm, the only atty that is considered better is the Astron, buts it just an improved version of the quasar (deeper juice well and neg posts milled to deck)

I got my SX Mini M Class today from a Michigan shop called Sycodrops. Best of all, it was priced exactly the same as online vendors. $199.99. I got the battery extension tube for an additional $10. I've seen that sell for as much as $30 online.

Picked up the MX4 on my way home from work last night at my favorite B&M near me, Vapor Emporium in New Market, MD.
Really liking this RDA.
Finally picked up the mod i've wanted for ages at a place called Boca Vapes (Boca Raton, FL) The Petri by dotmod. Finally reached #alldoteverything status!! Looks classy and hits like a beast! Ran me almost 2 bills, but she's worth it to me. Definitely the crown jewel of my collection

i buy gear from my local vape shop all the time usually mods/ rda's but sometimes ill buy a bottle of their juice as well and yeah i pay 5$ more for a mod or rda then i would online but i did sscore my infected mod from them for 89.99
Built some coils for some folks at a shop and they hooked me up with a black chrome cap for my Praxis Derringer as well as enough cash for me to snatch up a new Sigelei 150 TC (which i've been wanting). Plus i got to build on some stupid expensive atties like the MEB Mods M-atty:
