How long was your wait? Ordered it and a nautilus last night. 

Sold out!

I've used FT a fair few times. everythings a bit of a gamble in my experience but it usually works out ok.  I've never tried focal but if it gets to my door quicker i'd give them a go!

hmmm. dunno about that Kayfun. I'd heard good things about this one: www.fasttech.com/products/1635300

So I basically want a Kayfun, nautilus and aerotanks, just need to know where to get it from!

That's my exact same perspective @jerri.  They might not be the most engaging with customers but Hermans do have some great liquids though

I think with the current shops they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Crystal Clear might not have the most knowledgable of staff (not all of them though) but you can't knock their battery and atty prices! Even some of their liquids arent too bad - i'd happily stock their tobacco and mint ranges cos they sell loads of them

I'm sick of the endless jobhunt and giving serious thought to setting up my own B&M vape shop.  There seems to be new shops of varying quality opening up all the time, so why not me? I've not got much retail experience outside of bars but my logic is I probably know more about the product than most of my local shops - and I know I could sell it in my sleep. With a little guidance, calling is some favours and using a little creativity to make the place look awesome and stand out from the generic shops I think I could do it.

If I were to do it I would probably start out selling a range of run-of-the mill liquids at a competitive price like most of the others - they sell well to the average vape shop local customer - but I'd be looking to add more premium stock like some US brands, possibly TJuice (I know they're extortionate on the wholesale) and if it were a success maybe approach some of the liquid manufacturers on here. Aside from liquids I'd want to stock a wide range of good quality hardware from the likes of Kanger, Aspire, Innokin etc.

So I'm hoping some vendors on here could give me some advice and insight on how to go about this.  Rent aside, how much are we talking to get the doors open?  How risky do you think it would be in the current climate and competition (Liverpool's got quite a few B&Ms now) and what steps can be taken to ensure the whole thing's not dead in the water in a few years if the EU get their way?  Last thing I need is a failed business and a huge debt.

I think I'd have the branding and marketing covered with my own experience and contacts, but I'd need some kind of mentor (or at least a brain to pick) when it comes to everything else about the day-to-day of running a business.

I don't know if I've posted this to the right place, so feel free to move the thread.

Thanks.

*EDIT* I know there's quite a few B&Ms in the Liverpool area now, but with their varying quality (basically anywhere outside the city centre is a different level to the two great shops, and I'm not even including Liberty Flights and Totally Wicked in the equation) I think the competition is healthy and friendly enough that if it's done right with a good location there's a niche to be found without stepping on anyones toes

Hey guys, Im playing around with a dripper I quite literally found and want to know if its possible to put two coils in. I think its this one. It only has two connection posts and every dual coil video ive seen has drippers with centre posts.

Ive never used a dripper before so if anyone can link to a good recoiling video too tgat would help. Ill be uding 32g and cotton wool
