But don't let lil old me discourage your intentions. He means well, but no, don't let him. The market is very disorganised and growing at 100% p.a. Any market like that, anyone who knows what they are doing and is serious about customer service can make money. If I wasn't so old & lazy I'd be doing it myself. Good Luck! Thank you giles...not too sure we know what we are doing but no doubt we will learn or fall by the wayside ...but we are serious about giving it our best shot.

My thank's to all who have taken the time to respond, yes we do vape, I guess we would be kind of classed as newbie by the seasoned vapers here, we only started using them in June this year and by mid september had gone to zero (0) mg, I mix our own juices (only cos it is a zero mix) was given a lot of help and advice on mixing by a member here who organises the Bradford meets. Yes I have to agree much of what we see on some markets is cheap and nasty and possibly potentially dangerous as has been said (I tried one never heard of mix...instant sore throat and headache). Don't know about developing own juices but what we would hope to achieve is to offer a good range of quality juices...such as Dekang or Hangsen for example and a selection of decent accessories and mods. Wishing you luck with your venture I think Dekang is a good one to sell ,IMO they are low cost and high quality and taste ! As long as your prices are fair , some market stalls do over charge and get a bad name ! Eg there's a vendor in boro and Stockton that sell own label juices @ £6.50 for 10mls ! They also sell c4 blister starter packs for £30 ( paradise vape sell them for under a tenner !) Thank you jaysey, high cost and low quality on the markets is a major reason why we are considering going down this route...I don't like feeling cheated and money is tight for everyone so it is important to get good value products when parting with your hard earned cash...that's why we want to get it right and provide decent products and excellent customer service...it's not about *jumping on the bandwagon* for us...yes we would hope to make a living from it eventually but certainly not at the expense of robbing others in the process...the Govt and Utility Companies do enough of that as it is

Personally I would buy healthevapes juice, they have a great range and something for everyone and I don't think their prices are that bad. Saying that I am absolutely loving tjuice at the mo, but this is a higher end juice. If possible could you offer people a way to try the juice before they buy? I know this is something I would like to have available. Hardware wise protanks and evods are a great lower cost option and £ for £ great value. Aspires seem to also seem to have been getting great reviews. High end stuff might be harder to shift as (no disrespect) I wouldn't want to buy a kayfun/taifun/high end mod from a market, but you could offer a order type service if people wanted this as they get more into it. Also rebuildable supplies and maybe be able to demonstrate to people how to rebuild the heads? And great for people coming into vaping. Bundle that with spinners/Kanger batteries or egos and they are a great starting point. Wow!...that's a really comprehensive reply gapy360...many thank's...much appreciated and very helpful. Ref the "try b4u buy" suggestion...I was thinking along those lines too...I was thinking of having a load of cartos with sample flavours...would have to have a new tip per customer to be totally hygienic...definitely doable I think...I'll take a look at the ones you mention too...there is so much choice...I only know what I like that's why I'm asking for opinions.

I believe you have misunderstood my post karma...I am neither a "Vendor" nor do I wish to "sell" our hand crafted gifts on this forum. I simply wondered if other members would be so kind as to tell me which e-juices and other related items they prefer...we plan to sell e-juices on a Market Stall and I asked the question as a sort of market research to see which brands were preferred by forum members.

Hi Chrissie & fellow Vapers To explain the title of this post...... My OH & I are self employed, we make hand crafted wooden gifts, anyway we are moving into having a regular stall on some of the Markets around us, we have been researching other items which we would like to sell alongside our own crafts, we have decided this will be e-cigs/juices and accessories. So what I am asking from you, if you do not mind, is your input as to which e-juices/e-cigs etc you prefer and which ones you avoid. If any of the vendors read this then I would welcome their opinions and whether they also act as a wholesaler. I have a list of wholesalers of e-juices etc but I would welcome all opinions from other users before we make a final decision on which brand to sell on our Market stall, which will be West Yorkshire btw. Thanks for reading. Flynt

Excellent news flynt, and well done both of you. It's great that you are both on zero nic, and planning to give up the vaping altogether. I know that some forum members will be holding a hand to their mouths and gasping in horror, but if that's what you both want to do, more power to your elbows. You have kicked the dreaded tobacco, and that's the most important theme here. Please keep up posted, we would love to know how you are getting on! Thank's for that...appreciated...will post updates when I have something to say...

...just a quick visit as I have lot's to do on'tinternet tonight but thought I should give you all an update... yes we are still vaping... "no we do not miss the "old smelly way's"... 3 months ago we started vaping on 18mg juices... we are now happily vaping 0mg juices...it has been a very easy transition for us...next stage is to give up vaping at some point in the future...no hard and fast plan will just see how it progresses. Hope all is good with everyone...hope to catch up again soon. Flynt

Thank's dinamic22...appreciated...the way I see it...it's all down to achieving the right frame of mind...for me there are no milestones...I am a non smoker and will stay that way permanently...I do not count the day's/week's etc...tbh when I posted last night I had to check the date of my original post to work out how long it had been since I last smoked...I really hadn't thought about it in real time until then. I know that for many counting the day's/weeks is how they cope with the "withdrawl" symptoms they assume they are suffering from...and being able to mark/celebrate a "milestone" gives them a huge confidence boost...but it's all a clever illusion perpetrated to make smokers think they are actually "giving up" something they enjoy. We are all being brainwashed daily by the smoking cessation brigade and the Govt. into believing we are making a sacrifice by "giving up" something we actually enjoy...what's to enjoy about coughing your lungs up every day...smelling like an ashtray and voluntarily poisoning yourself?. The Govt DO NOT want us to stop smoking en masse...they would lose far too much revenue...so they dupe everyone into believing they are against smoking with half hearted anti smoking campaigns while using carefully orchestrated words/phrases and advertising media to keep us addicted...aka Psychological Classical Conditioning...and the majority of us accept all the claptrap they feed us. Words such as *withdrawl symptoms* *habit* giving up* *craving* It's not a habit...it's an addiction...but although Nicotine is one of the most addictive poisons known it is also the easiest addiction to stop. I recommend everyone should read Alan carr's Book...The easy way To Stop Smoking...it really will alter your perspective on how/why you smoke and how easy it really is to stop..note I say STOP not *give up*. *climbs down from soapbox* On another subject...nice to see a fellow West Yorkshire resident...we're in the Ponte area.

Thank's for the supportive comments folk's...appreciated...we are both still "vaping" quite happily...not a single...solitary so called craving for the old smelly baccy for either of us...tis has been an easy transition for both of us. I know it can be very difficult for many to find the right frame of mind but it can be done without suffering all the "withdrawl" symptoms we are conditioned to expect when "giving up". So in the hope it may help anyone who is struggling to "survive" without the dreaded weed I thoroughly recommend people read Alan Carr's book..."The Easy Way To Stop Smoking"...it really put's it into perspective...and explains the clever psychological conditioning employed to keep us "addicted" to smoking while pretending to help us stop...it's not in the Govt interests for everyone to stop smoking...think of the revenue they will lose if everyone did...so smokers are manipulated to think they are making a sacrifice by "giving up"...as Mr Carr say's...get it into your head there is nothing to "give up" but lot's to gain by "stopping"...2 very different meanings...anyone who is struggling with the idea that they are giving up something they actually enjoy should get a copy of his book...it really will give you a whole new way to look at why you smoke and how easy it actually is to stop...with or without the use of e-cig's. I last read it about 6 months ago and Mr Flynt has not read it but has been "lectured" on it's content by me on a regular basis...lol...I believe that it has subconsciously helped us both to reach our decision to stop smoking...and to keep it that way without any problems whatsoever.
