Liberty Flights - new shop in Hayle, Cornwall

[chykensa]

I've just got back from a little trip down the A30 to Liberty Flights' new premises in Hayle. For any of you that know the area, it's on the site of the old St. Erth Creamery, just off the roundabout at the western end of the Hayle Bypass.
Still smelling of new paint, and with no counter or indeed much else, the two guys there are most welcoming, and over a cup of coffee we had a chat about all things vaping.
They have a small stock at the moment until the counter is installed, but are promoting the XO Juice, their own range, and regrettably won't be stocking guest juices, as LF want to up the presence of the XO range nationally in the coming months. They haven't yet decided whether to stock DIY consumables, so it's up to all Cornish vapers to create a demand for them, especially the Capella flavourings.
They have a stock of juice then, and clearos and eGo batteries. No driptips or much else at the moment, but to be fair it is early days.
I did pick up a useful bit of kit though - a USB Variable Voltage Passthrough lead, running at 3.0v, 3.6v, 4.2v and 4.8v controlled by clicking the power button, with different colours for each voltage. Really useful for sitting at my laptop, or even in the car; saves wear and tear and charge on batteries, I can see this will get a bit of a thrashing when I'm back at work!
If anyone is looking for a career change, the Liberty Flights shop is looking for full-time staff as soon as possible, as the two guys there at the moment are only down for 3 weeks and are then off to prep the next new shop. Email the team for more details!
This was my first experience in a B & M shop, and the plans they have for this store, a nice big counter, loads of stock, and big sofas and a coffee machine, all sound really inviting and worth revisiting again in a couple of weeks. I have already decided what my next big purchase will be - talking to one of these chaps, he tells me he gets well over a day from his eGo Twist 1100mah battery, which is nearly what I get from a 3200Mah Panasonic in my Vamo, at a fraction of the size, and much more discreet. That's where my next £25 is going, methinks!
I'll keep you posted on Cornish developments, but all seems rather exciting!

Blimey didnt know its been there so long , we just drove past it today , I did a double take as i had no idea there was one down here , but I just thought it was offices , doesnt look like a shop , the location doesn't look like retail either ? Are there Xo range by Enjuice ? or have I mis remembered that ? Is it worth a visit ?

In a word, no it's not worth a visit. The stock is limited, overpriced and the shop is staffed by young vapers whose limit is a Protank on a Spinner (not that there is anything wrong with that, you understand!).
Far better to go to Beacon Vape just outside Camborne run by zeldamum who is a forum member, and far better-informed than LF. She is slowly building up stocks but from the start has stocked good names like Kanger and T-Juice, with more to follow soon.
