Availability Increasing

[Lee]

Hi all. Sorry if this is old news, I did a thread search but couldn't find anything. Anyway I wanted to share the fact that Home Bargains now sell e cigs.

My local store has a tobacco one a a menthol one (both disposable) for sale. Not something I would buy but handy for emergencies.

Also while I was out today I found a new e cig shop has opened in the local shopping centre. It had a limited range of stock but again it's handy for me if I need anything.

As well as the places I've already mentioned there are a few other shops that sell the disposables and theres an e cig stand in the main shopping area. It seems that e cigs are becoming more popular which is good news for vapers. I do feel for online vendors though as that is how I've always got my stuff.

Tesco, sainsburys, asda, co-op and Morisons all sell e-cigs of differing brands. Just in case of emergencies, like me the other day when I left my twist at home!

Oh I forgot to add, I didn't have time to get to the e-cig shop. 10 min round trip, had just over that till I had to get to work lol.

Yes, there has been a big increase in availability.

No decent e-cig shops near me but if I was desperate for a cig-a-like

B&M
The Factory shop
Semi Chem
Superdrug

and some newsagents! When I started vaping over a year ago, the nearest place to get anything was Tesco 20miles away!

Yep, there is a VIP stand in my local shopping centre and they sell disposables in home bargains. There is also a stall on the market selling proper e-cigs too like riva batteries and rebuildables etc.

I forgot about the supermarkets although I'm not sure what's on offer in the ones near me as I avoid shopping as much as possible! The new shop near me has Tornado type stuff and a big row of taster tanks set up. It makes it easier for people to get into e cigs if they can see and try it I suppose.

Hopefully one day there will be a bigger range of stuff available in these smaller outlets but at the moment I think they cater more for the beginner.

In a shopping centre in my next town is a VIP stand, they also sell ego batts, clearos and juice. VIP branded of course.

When I first started vaping the only shop in the Blackpool area was a VIP stand in the shopping center, now there are loads. Apart from the usual disposables in the supermarkets etc. we have got 3 TW shops, (mrs krueger works in one ), 4 shops that sell egos and stuff as a sideline and one dedicated shop with a much larger range opening very soon.
Funny thing is I find it a lot easier to hold back spending in these than online, probably because I've got everything.

Yes its certainly a growing trade. Ecig shops and stalls are springing up all over the place where I live.
