My recent vacation found me leaving the airport with none of my personal stash. And having to buy premium juice before I boarded the plane.

This juice was anything but premium :mad: We may have piss for beer. But you Canadians have shit for taste buds and premium juices. I'm just sayin :cool:

After arriving in Austria I figured I would keep an eye out for a vape store. And was sadly disappointed by the lack thereof. Even sadder was the limited selection of juices, when I finally found a B&M.

To bring up a bad subject, this was a BLU store outlet. And I literally blew the guys mind asking for strawberries and cream juice. Selection was very limited, 10-15 single source flavors. The Strawberry, was good. Not the best by far, but it was actually much better than I expected. And much cheaper than that damn Canadian premium juice.

If any place is rip for the picking, Austria is it. I can't say that vaping is big there, I never saw anyone vaping the entire 3 weeks we were there. But I can say that they are in dire need of a wider product selection. And places to get that product. :cuss2:

And BTW, while I'm bashing on you Canadians. Bordeaux wine is only $3.50 for a 750ml bottle in Austria. Eat your over priced hearts out.:giggle:

Is there a back-story to this?

Yup, it's called me being a dumbass.

After spending the entire day flying into Vancouver. I parked my arse on the bench outside, pulled out my bag of juice, filled my tank, and had myself a vape.

Afterwards I got up and walked off, with ALL my juice still lying on the bench. Needless to say it wasn't there when I came back the next day.

I thought so too. But it's definitely not as popular as it is in North America. It's like a desert :confused:

Smoking is still very much accepted by the public there. Restaurants still provide ashtrays and a place to smoke. Hell, I was even invited into a book store with a cigarette :oops: dont ask :cry: We stayed at one nice hotel that had a smoking room that was simply amazing, and most provided ashtrays on the balconies, even though the rooms were non smoking.

I saw my first vending machine in over 20 years there, they were everywhere. They controlled the sales at those machines, by requiring a state issued ID to be slid into the machine to verify your age.

I was in Berlin, Germany for 10 days last November (2015). I didn't see one other person vaping. Even during intermission at shows - when everyone rushes outside for a smoke - I didn't see one vaper. Searched out several B&M stores, hardware selections were much more limited and the liquid selection was abysmal. One store only had '0' and '18' mg/ml liquid.

That's what the United States will look like soon - only worse. :cry:
