Vaping 101 new B&M store

[striker42]

Earlier this year, with the knowledge that there would be no Vapefest 2019, I decided to take in the opening of the new Vaping 101 B&M store at 253 Union Street Aberdeen. Tony Stuart, who owns Vaping 101, announced the shop purchase in February 2019 with a scheduled opening date of sometime in May 2019. As time went on, I think he encountered every problem possible, from the council with permission for absolutely everything (shop is part of a listed building) to actually getting a shop fitting company to do the work and set things up the way he wanted. After a couple of false starts, the store opened it's doors on Saturday 14th September. Very relaxed atmosphere, 2 x 50 mod wireless charging juice tasting stations, juice stations are linked to two tablets, each mod has a number which can be checked against the corresponding number on the tablet for flavour, manufacturer etc. Several booths with comfortable seating, all equipped with a tablet to check stock of goods, reviews, juice manufacturers, juice format, flavours and other valuable information. There are plans to have a vape school, coil class or anything else customers may request in the upper tier at the back of the shop, which again is equipped the same as the counter level, with booths tablets, display cabinets and a large stabilised wood topped table for working on. 
All in, I spent an afternoon in the shop, was extended hospitality second to none by Tony and his good lady Claire, given a guided tour of the shop and a general insight into how the vaping industry works, which I found very interesting. 
Probably being in Aberdeen, it will be a fair bit out the way for most, but if at anytime you happen to find yourself in Aberdeen, pop in even if it's just for a coffee and say hello, Tony and Claire would be delighted to see you and you'll be made most welcome.
A few bits still to be sorted out, but here's a few pics


 


































P.S. I have no association with Vaping101 other than a paying customer.

Looks good, might have to take a trip up there, I'm in conversation with Tony at the moment over a faulty pod mod kit
