Chance to win 5 bottles of free juice (Iris) from Van Mist and best of all .... no liking or sharing required! Just gotta enter name and email or smthg.
I was half pack a day and now I can't even stand the smell of cigarettes. While I was trying to quit smoking I jumped back and forth between smoking and vaping like 8 times over 3 years before I finally quit for good.

Where do you guys get the top quality 18650's the cheapest? East Side Vapes is $12.50 and I don't particularly like patronizing their business either...

I get my batteries from East Side Vapes or Vape Secret on hastings/boundary.
Can I ask why you don't like patronizing ESV? I have no affiliation, but just out of curiosity.

Bought a $6 battery from them. Used it at home under ideal conditions and it corroded after two weeks. For it to corrode that quickly it had to have a sealing defect. I've been using li-ion cells like this and learning about them for 15 years since LED flashlights came out.
Tried to exchange it but they said I was past the 14 day return policy. It's only $6 but it doesn't inspire confidence in future purchases from ESV.

Vaporologie Gastown and Vaper Stash Langara should have Adirondack.

I guess if you were past the 14 day return policy, in all fairness they had the right to refuse. But having said that, they should've just given you the damn $6 battery to retain a customer. I personally am not a huge fan either, but they're generally OK. I stop by if I'm in the area and need to grab something, though they're not my first go-to shop -- I usually just go in, get what I need, and leave.
My reasoning is kinda shitty on my part, I'll admit. But every time I go in there, I just get the impression that it's really "bro'd out". I mean their customers are their customers, so that's neither here nor there. But when I was looking at juices one time, their employee was staring at the tv the whole time and helping me with one hand. Didn't really seem like he wanted to talk, so I just picked up a couple things and left. Which is fair. They're a store, and they sell what I want. I get what I need, they get their sale. But speaking in relative terms and judging from that alone, the employees and the vibe at other stores just feel way more approachable and friendly, and that's enough reason for me to go elsewhere if I can, because let's face it. Prices at all the stores are pretty much the same.

I completely agree. ESV does not have good customer service unless you a a regular who just vapes in the store and chill with them. Every time I go there, a bunch of people are seated at the juice bar chatting with the staff. I stand there waiting for someone when I already know what I want. I rarely go there now.
I've never had problems going to ESV, and I only go there once a month or so for my fix of Orangz. I always get greeted within 10 seconds of walking in the store and someone usually comes up to me shortly after. Maybe it's just a busy time when you go?
I recently just bought O rangz by twelve monkeys. I only used like 10 drops of it so far. Its pretty much brand new. It tasted good at first but its not for me.. So I'm good on that lol. Anybody want to trade juices?
I like fruity and menthol flavors.. Both togethr would be even better!! Let me knw if you guys want to trade.
or anything lime

I think ESV is good. The guy that helped me explained everything. Told me what wattage to run at and how that causes the voltage range to variate and why those voltages mean. Higher than x.x causes too much burning while lower than x.x causes juice flooding.
He also offered to teach more about self building (cotton stuff) if i have time or drop by anytime as well as how temp control works for different kinds of coils etc. Or consult youtube.
Filled up my juice and gave me tips to cover the air hole before tightening etc. Overall very helpful.
However when I bought the exact same one for someone else at esv at a different day, I was explained less. Was told to run at a different higher wattage. Didn't even know of different coil settings. But at the same time, I can see i was pegged as vape newb and probably didnt want to overload me with info, which I can understand as the ideal case for many casual users. Hobbyists already know their shit.
With that said, i think all the reps were chill and are the type that if asked, they would be very willing to take to help in depth.

Dashvapes Hawk sauce is something you might like. it's a fruit medley with a hint of menthol
