I was hunting, as you do, for somewhere in the uk with a goblin mini for sale and campervan across this company, based in Cardiff. Did the usual AAEC search but they didn't figure so took a punt anyway. Ordered the goblin which arrived, beautiful packaged when it should have done, a day later, I paid for extra first class delivery. They have a great web site, seem to really know what they are doing, and have some lovely descriptions for their wide range of juices too. So, having got the tank, I splurged out on some liquids. Review for the first one in the appropriate slot on here. So delivery spot on, packaging spot on, and a nice little than you for shopping with us card with my name on, nice personal touch. Probably not the cheapest but I didn't think they were overpriced either. The goblin was £25/£26 plus postage where some vendors were charging upwards of £30. I will be using them again and if you are in or near Cardiff looks like a place to go, full juice bar etc. enjoy Beaumvape

Hate to put a downer on things but I had the worst experience in a B&M I've ever had anywhere in this shop in Cardiff.
I was staying over in cardiff for the night for work and it was in a hotel with a vape shop just around the corner.
Having checked in, I walked over to the shop.
The shop looks very nice with a big chalkboard juice menu, the staff however were far to busy chatting amongst themselves, vaping away to acknowledge me.
After a few minutes I was asked what I wanted, I asked if it was okay to try a juice and was handed a small clearo and a mod... i tried vaping it but there was no flavour and little vapour, I had my dripper so asked if it was okay to try it in there... I had a funny look but he said ok and gave me the bottle. There was a tiny tiny bit left, not enough to wet the wicks... I asked if there was another bottle to which the reply was no... I was looked at blankly with the expression that I only ever see on my 2 year olds face when he doesn't understand something you have said... I'm not going to buy a juice I can't taste so i left. I wasn't really made to feel welcome, I guess I didn't fit in with the rest of the demographic in there which was teens in tattoos.
The chap wasn't particularly rude, I just felt under served and I'd rather keep hold of my money.
Just the thoughts of a grumpy bloke.
Wont be going back there, there are plenty of great shops i have been in, this was not one of them.

That's bad news Tom, I obviously haven't been in the shop, but the online ordering for my two orders have been good. I did wonder from the few photos on the web site, teens with tattoos looks about right. Sad, nice stuff on their web site

Teens with tattoos is fine! As long as I'm not made to feel like I'm not wanted in there because I'm not one lol

They are even up to date with Consumer Contract regulations which is a refreshing change from so many other online vendors we come cross (& reject).

It is a shame Tom had a bad experience, but I have had good service using their web site so far. Tried a second juice, Zen, by Element, and this, too is very delicious. They only had it in 3mg nic, but I haven't noticed any difference. Maybe time to reduce my usual nic %age? An exotic, stress-relieving fusion of lychee, guava and sweet peach with passion flower Is the description and in the goblin all those flavours are there, nicely blended. Not so sure about stress relieving, I try to avoid stress at all times, so I'm lucky not to have much to relieve, but it's a nice fruity vape without any harshness sometimes found in fruits. At £11 for 20ml it's again not a cheap choice, but as a treat, it lovely. Comes in a lush blue bottle too. Only to try Mega Melons by Cuttwood at some point. Hope it tastes as good as it smells. Wonder if anyone else has tried the shop?
