Man oh man! This place has taught me so much!
What a wonderful place to learn about the world of e-cigarettes. Everyone who works there is very informative, and will take the time to help you choose the right set up for you. On weeknights it can be pretty busy, but if it's your first time, wait until you can talk with someone one on one and they will really walk you through the process.
There's a bar where you can try the different vape juices they have for $1 a piece. This is really great because at $18.99 for the smallest bottle, you want to make sure you really like vaping something before you commit to it. I've tried the arctic menthol - great for classic menthol smokers- peppermint, purple haze (a combo of grape and earl grey), japanese plum, pomegranate lemonade, and dragon dew ( a take on mountain dew and citrus). They've all been great, but I've stuck mostly with the menthol as the others can be cloying in the long term. I've also tried peach cobbler which is really nice and doesn't taste like fake peach but actual real fresh peaches. My boyfriend likes cigar fusion as it tastes like a really mellow tobacco, and he sometimes mixes in a little Wookee Cookie, which tastes EXACTLY like a sugar cookie. Additionally, the allow you to customize your vape juice to control the amount vapor, throat hit, and level of nicotine you want. Be sure to ask them to tell you about all the ways to customize it, because sometimes they will just assume you want a 70/30 mix (70% propylene glycol which give you the throat hit and 30% vegetable glycerine which gives you the vapor). My boyfriend and I tend to do a 50/50 mix is easier on the throat, and for my boyfriend, significantly reduces the frequency of heartburn he was getting.
Once you leave the bar, there's an area with all the different parts of electronic cigarettes. There are 2 basic parts - your battery, and your clearomizer (what holds the juice, the heating coil, and the air tube you suck through). Those can also be broken down and customized, but I recommend keeping it simple when you first start out. You can pick the color of you battery, your clearomizer, and even your tip to fit your style and personality. They also have a whole section devoted to mods, or add ons to soup up your e-cig and customize it.
I went with the simple twist beginners kit (the priciest beginners kit at $80ish), my boyfriend got an incredible set up with crazy mods and things. A few weeks later, his mod started seriously malfunctioning. They very happily took it back and gave him a credit on his next set up. He now has this amazing, light-saber looking thing.
This place is great to get you the e-cig that will really make you happy, and help get you off of cigarettes (unlike those terrible disposables). They have everything you need, reasonably priced, as well as everything you will need for maintenance (like replacement coils). The amount of options can seem overwhelming at first, but the friendly, knowledgable, and often charmingly hilarious employees will gladly take you through the process. Then you can sit at the bar and try the different flavors until you find one you love. All of this, and they have an old Happy Herman's sign from the now closed Happy Hermans that used to be down the street. How cool! read more
