Growing Market

[davess]

Called into my local off licence/grocery store last night - only a tiny shop really, and noticed a sign on the door saying 'Electronic Cigarettes On Sale Here'. Expecting to see E-Lites or something similair I asked the owner where they were, and he pointed to a shelf above which was stocked with Ego battery and clearomiser kits and boxes of juice in 10ml and 30ml sizes. 10ml - £4.50 and 30ml - £7.99. Also discovered last week that there's a Bricks and Mortar vape shop just a mile and a half from where I live. I didn't even know about it and it's been there about 9 months apparently. Happy days 19_zps0468f8e0

Good to see.

Hopefully they will start to sell like hot cakes and if they do, try and convince him to write to MP's and MEP's. Pressure by the business community can only had weight to the cause.

That's really heartening, kudos to your local shop

Our town has 3 market vendors 3 vape shops. 1 stand in the main shopping centre that sell and promotes a brand of Elites style cigarette.
And numerous pound and mobile phone shops selling a very limited choice of e cigs and fluid.

Its good initially, but I can see eliquids sitting in display cabinets for yonks and not being at there best at time of sale.
Will the market stall vendors juice be ok if its stored evening and night in the back of a hot transit van during the summer months.
Replacement heads and cortos not as readily available as you would expect, The local franchise to a well known brand does not keep any stock and will only offer to put things on order for you collectable from the shop in a few days, why they dont offer to get them delivered is a mystery. They have all their jiuces and basic batterys and atomisers. But your still buying blind if you want a better device.

For starter kits and the introduction to vaping more outlets are good, but to get exactly what your looking for and a more steady and reliable supply, on line is the way to go. I would like to see the local paper shop giving a personal tailored service, acting on behalf of different online vendors for those without internet access.

I can give an update on this one now. Just called at the barbers shop and next door - an electrical shop - they are also selling full kits. Just glanced quickly as I passed the shop window and noticed the name 'Liberty Flights' on some of the packages. Maybe Liberty Flights are pushing their stuff through small local shops now? It's getting interesting isn't it.

Yeah we do and we get in cheap too

Semi-Chem are selling disposables and some kind of cig-a-like kit!

[Banky]

It's good that shops are selling e-cig's, lets the public see that it's another alternative for smokers,
to get them interested to maybe try one. As long as retailers don't try to rip them off with silly price's.
