Emporium Vapour

[ev]

It has been quite a while since I have visited. Doesn't time fly.

Our little shop has now expanded to 3 and soon to be 4. All of my sons and even my daughter help out now and we have made lots of new vaping friends along the way. Some have even become staff and help us greatly to promote vaping to the masses in Edinburgh, Falkirk and Glasgow.

As each shop has come online we have learned to better organise our shops and mixing areas, each time learning more and more. And it is interesting how each location has its' own unique characteristics and customers. No matter which shop though, customers love to talk to each other and pass on their own vaping experience to those trying it for the first time. Sometimes though, it can be a little bit of a hindrance when you have a veteran customer waving their VAMO about and declaring it is the best device. The poor customer who has never seen an electronic cigarette before or only tried one that looks like a regular cigarette can be quite bamboozled !!


Vapefest this year was a first for us taking our own liquids to the masses. It is one thing to have your regular customers enjoy them, but having vapers from all over the country try them out was a great experience, particularly as we had such fantastic feedback. We had such best laid plans to have our website available for these new customers just after Vapefest but unfortunately it has taken a bit longer than anticipated. Now we are gradually introducing our products online it is amazing to see people from all over the UK, and even beyond, wanting to try our flavours.


We have been so lucky with staff, we have a great team of people who love their work and love everything about vaping. They also enjoy developing new flavours and to get feedback from customers. There is nothing more pleasing to have one of your own flavours listed on the menu and have people ask for it.

With one of our new staff on board, we have also begun to explore our creative side by producing charms for electronic cigarettes. What should be our mail room has been taken over by a myriad of beads and chains but the finished products are very pretty. I just have to convince my eldest son that he really really does not need that room whilst the shopfitting is taking place upstairs ! Our next project is leather wraps and sheaths but getting time to experiment and make them is the ever present issue.

So feel free to pop in to one of our shops and enjoy some time trying out our liquids. The guys are very friendly and if you pop in this week you can see them all dressed up for Halloween. If you are brave enough to visit us dressed up yourself, you will receive a free 20ml of liquid of your choice and have the opportunity to enter our fancy dress competition with a full VAMO kit as the prize. Or why not pop onto our facebook page and see some of the pictures of the staff dressed up !
