This review is broken up into two parts for beginners and veterans/cloud-chasers:
For People New to Vaping: a few things set this place apart from other vape shops in the area. They have a very large selection of affordable starter//plug&play/ease-of-use products that can allow you to break into vaping without investing heavily at first. Unlike several other places I've visited in the Baltimore area they have a very sensible markup on their products. I know what prices they are getting their products at for wholesale and the markup on top of that in my opinion shows respect for their customers. This is a family run shop and they absolutely have the tailored-service appeal of one. They will not try to sell you something that you wouldn't like or aren't ready for. their customer service is absolutely the best of the 4 vape shops I have visited in the greater Baltimore area, and they pride themselves on giving 1 to 1 attention of everyone who walks through the door. believe me this place is where you want to go to quit smoking, try out your first rebuildable (they'll build the first coils for you), or purchase an affordable packaged unit that will last you a long time without needing maintenance or much knowledge to operate for all the 9-5ers looking for a good way to stay out of your pack during the day.
For vaping veterans: let me start with a little background in vaping to give you an idea of what my opinions are grounded in. One man's trash is another man's treasure so it helps to know if you are on the same page as the reviewer.
I learned about vaping and got a crash course in it while working in Las Vegas earlier this year. first setup ever was an Itaste VTR with a kanger aerotank to replace the stock cartomizer. I have and enjoy several drippers including stillaire, plumeveil and tobh. my main interest however, never seems to deviate from VW box mods and bottom coil atomizers. My lineup includes a vaporshark dna30, hana box clone, eleaf Istick, 2 kayfuns, 2 Erlkonigins, an aqua and I plan on adding the orchid 4.0 to my collection soon. I build my own coils, am currently attempting to make my own DIY VW box mod, and love messing around with new technology as it comes out. It's for these reasons that this place has become my vaping candy store!
For all you 1%ers out there they have a nice selection of authentic Mods, Hybrids and atomizers for you to get your classy on. Tugboat mods and attys, Viscious Ant Variant, Provari, hiemdall, stingray are just a few big ticket authentics they carry.
For all the Cheapskates/Clone lovers in the vaping community, you really really really need to check out this store. every place has clones, and those can come in multiple levels of quality but are all usually sold at a similar price. Not only does the Towson Vaporium offer better pricing on their clone inventory, they offer better clones as well. I was burned a few times initially when buying what I thought was a high end clone, so I spent some time with my favorite vape shop owner in Vegas learning what to look for that can raise red flags in a clone and what indicates it's high quality. I can say after looking at just about everything in this store that they are all very well made clones: copper and brass contacts, well machined threads, smooth button operation... basically nothing made of cheap steel then given a halfhearted paint job to cover up that it's not brass, copper or stainless. if you're familiar with Infinity, EHpro, Yiloong, or Hcigar, 90% of their clones are made by one of these companies. they also have some very affordable "authentic clones" as I like to call them, aka they're an original product that's made by a quality clone manufacturer(Yiloong, EHPro and several others). I can say this with absolute certainty that they have the largest selection of rebuildable dripping and tank atomizers I have ever seen in one location. I love the fact that they have 9 different VW box mods including the Zna50 clone, IPV line and Sigelei. Selection is unsurpassed in my opinion.
if you've made it this far in my long-winded review, I'm sure it's obvious that this is my favorite vape shop on the East Coast. I've truly enjoyed my patronage of this business and have been rewarded with a place where I can stop in and feel like I'm at home anytime. I really hope you can find some time to visit this place if you are reading this. You will not be disappointed. read more
