The customer on the left side of the till was certainly enthusiastic about skipping to the front door, LOL

I think it’s very easy to forget that us forum members are technically enthusiasts.

I setup the retail / click and collect bit of our unit heavily geared towards the enthusiast, wicks, wires, coils, mechs, RTAs, RDAs etc all on display. We’ve sold shit loads of that online since... but 99.9% of customers that walk in off the street are “ave u got N E of that vampire stuff and some smok coils m8?”

Most of them have absolutely no idea what a RDA is, in fact several customers have pointed to the cotton bacon display stand thing and asked what the fuck is cotton bacon.

My point being, I think most shops don’t stock this type of stuff (or very little of it) because it just doesn’t sell. Unless of course they have a online side too.

Fair point. It just amazes me that the staff don't seem to have the first idea about anything other than different juice flavours. If my local shop stocked rebuilding supplies I'd spend my cash there rather than online. I know the price would be higher but I'd be happy to pay it for local businesses rather than some faceless website.

My problem is that they don’t stock anything I’d be interested in buying - except Steam Island on the Isle of White. If they sold some fancy kit like they used to I’d be a customer.

I must say I have a great shop near me that produce liquid for wholesale across the UK, which is great, but I find whenever I go in for small stuff e.g cotton, batteries and not buying juice (their biggest profit margins) i get shit service, and they would rather sit and talk to dave across the shop whos just brought a drag max and 50mls of juice..

I go through 250ml a week and if I got some good customer service I wouldnt be buying it online

Cheeky Vape in North London https://cheekyvape.com/ have great customer service in my experience.
They also do local delivery by bicycle for £2.50. I received an order 30mins after placing it online.

Judging by the time of posting, it would have been written during my weekly 72hr heroin binge.

Simple answer for me, not really. The closest one is one of those that stock basically just juice and stock coil stuff, nothing I'd actually be particularly interested in. Also they basically just sell stuff made by Aspire....

I would love to open a nice little shop in Manchester City Centre that caters for the discerning MTL'er on a tight budget. Big sign in the window.... 'No Clouds Allowed'. Bar in the corner. Jukebox in the other corner. Piles of Kanthal 27ga and various types of cotton on the tables. Wicking contests on a Tuesday night.

Pipedream......
