I don't always go to vape shops, but when I do, I'm often the oldest person in there.
Yet never once did I feel unwelcome our out of place, even as a bottom-feeding tootle-puffer when giant cloudz were all the rage.
I’m certain that online sales are making it hard for those shops
Not so much. the vast majority of vapers in the USA only use vape shops.I’m certain that online sales are making it hard for those shops to survive
Never read the article here but any current vape shops I go to have many other different products they sell from Regular Tobaccos to Cigars and Energy Drinks or Waters. Online sellers maybe competition but not going to put any of the ones I frequent OOB. They were established businesses before Vaping and the first rule of business is to diversify your customer base. I have seen guys spend more on a few stogies than I spent on coils. Never listen to the opinion of someone who hasn't stepped foot in a real B&M in years because really?
The one vape shop in my neighborhood went out of business
I hate my local vape shops. Morans talking like they have half a clue n using garbage gear
Mine shut down, but now we have a Smok/smoke shop. Talk about ignorance!! And shit is marked up $20 over retail. :smh:
I believe that most vape shops do not understand what is coming their way in 2 years or less.
Basically total shutdown.
And virtually none try and educate vapers to raise awareness among their customers.
I mean why run off money paying customers while one can still make money from them?
Some people are probably hoping none of this will happen. Which doesn’t help matters at all.
The US put all it's eggs into the useless CASAA (whatever) basket.. Most of us just want to be left the hell alone, and we already knew the medical and pharma folks were in cahoots with the FDA. <shrug> So, our 'lobby' took the money and fanned the base, ,, and sent emails.I agree. Some people are probably hoping none of this will happen. Which doesn’t help matters at all. And I guess some other folks don’t want to hear it, anyway. It’s depressing.
Non vapers don’t care if our rights are stepped on, like it doesn’t involve them at all, which is shortsighted.
Please massa, don't make dem chains so tight!If you Vape you must be an Advocate for Vaping Rights. Send letters and join Casaa and other Advocate Groups. Want to vape until your old and gray then stand up for what you believe in. This is NOT Dem or Republican this is VAPING so make your voice heard~!
i have a few shops / vape bars in my area but i find them to be for the influencers or ran by the hipsters right out of college. that said most places are a in and out for me unless i want to kill time looking at the staff in a weird way... joking on that last part
i may push out a mean cloud with my profile but i find comps to much of a (dick measuring middle school behavior) it's never about the volume it's about personal enjoyment to me.You mean you do not show up for the Cloud Comps?

This is just one of many examples of government overreach and the PC minority. Let it all burn.
I was a contributing member of CASA.
They stopped sending me emails and news so I stopped contributing.
Virtually no politician that can make a difference will take up the banner of vaping.
Too stigmatized by the anti vapers and not enough vapers to make it worth while.
And some of the things proposed in the Past Like Cole Bishop would not have helped things but very little and would have pretty much thrown mech users under the bus and made the deeming regs law instead of a regulation. Cole Bishop did not do away with PMTA requirements either.
The number is more like a few million. But it's still only a small, single-digit percentage of the population. Heck, there are still well over 30 million smokers, and the noose keeps tightening on them every year too. It's a textbook example of "Tyranny of the majority".Even though there are probably hundreds of thousands of vapers, that’s a negligible amount to politicians to go out on a limb for, I guess.
That's how it feels to me.We’re on our own and it’s being prepared that will help now, imo.
OK, I fixed it
This is a UK study.
They come to the conclusion that vape shops should offer smoking cessation support.
If this were a US study with the exact same set of variables it would have the conclusion that vape shops are evil and should be closed down or some bullshit.
