"The pioneer was Spike Babaian, a former college professor and dominatrix who says she opened the city’s first vaporium in 2011. “People were afraid to invest the money and get banned,” says Ms. Babaian, who wears thick black collars with two-inch spikes, “and so were we.” But she took the risk anyhow".

"The liveliest joint in Midtown these days might be VapeNY, one of three shops she owns in the city. Customers crowd into the hazy, vapor-filled store to swap news, sample flavors and leaf through Vape Magazine."



Anyone remember this "Spike" Babaian girl (bottom left photo) from the "I own a vape shop but hate cloud chasers "story I posted two weeks back?

Seems like she keeps quite a few of them (the other 3 wannabe hipster cloud chasers in the pic) around her shop to gain those profits huh? - 5150
