| - This is exactly what Toronto needed. A fantastic vapor shop, with good quality e-juice & a knowledgeable staff.
I've been vaping for a bit over a year. I started with disposable vapes that you could pick up at the corner store & went on to try Blu (just don't even bother with these forms of vaping). I moved down south to Pensacola, FL, following my mister who is in the Marine Corps. Lots of people Vape on base, which is how we got introduced into the e-juice way of vaping. I moved back to Toronto for a few months & ended up giving up on vaping. There really weren't any good shops (This was May-Aug 2013). The best place at the time was a vendor in Dr. Flea's market called Sassy Joe's. He had tech, but wasn't that knowledgeable or helpful. You also could not try any of his e-juices & had to order ahead of time. Plus his juices didn't have any nicotine to them.
The past 6 months I've lived in San Diego. There I picked vaping back up & actually stuck to it. Largely because of all the Vapor lounges in Cali. Seriously, tasting all the flavors really makes a difference & having a staff that knows what they are talking about makes the experience a lot less daunting.
I've been back in Toronto for a bit under a month. I brought some e-juices with me, but ran out of my lighter flavors. Searched yelp & found this gem.
I finally had a chance to pop by there shop last night. They are located in the front of a cute clothing boutique. This is just a temporary location before they move around the corner & open up a proper Vapor lounge.
You come in, and they already have all the flavors ready to be tasted. A really nice, uncomplicated approach for e-juice sampling. The ones you like, you place in a stand to the side, which allows you to resample while contemplating which flavors you'll end up buying. It was super smart having each flavor have their own eGo battery attached to it, instead of having to constantly switch out atomizers.
The e-juices are much thinner than the ones I usually pick up. I actually prefer this. I usually only go for full VG (vegetable glycerin) juices, which provide a good cloud while vaping. Downside is that they can really gunk up your atomizer. E-Cig provides liquids that are a 30/70 mix of VG & PG (Propylene Glycol) which still make great clouds, but don't leave a ruddy mess for me to clean up after a few hours of vaping. Another bonus to these juices is that they actually can include nicotine. I never understood why most Canadian e-juices never include nicotine. Most people that are vaping are transitioning from smoking actual cigarettes. E-cig has juices in FIVE levels of nicotine. 24mg, 18mg, 12mg, 6mg & 0mg. So rad. I personally go for 12mg, since the higher the nicotine, the dryer my throat feels. But it's wonderful that they carry a variety.
Best thing of all, their juices are really cheap. If you pick up 3, it's 39.99. They only carry 30mL bottles, but at this price, I do not mind at all. That's about 13 bucks a bottle. I've paid 12 USD for a 10mL bottle of lesser quality. Really a great deal.
They also have a decent amount of hardware for vaping. If you are starting out, I do suggest getting their starter eGo kits & they are priced well. Toronto is still new to the vaping scene, so they don't carry a huge range of atomizers, but the ones they do are of a good quality. I currently use a iClear 30 Dual Coil Clearomizer & a RDA Dual Coil Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer for my stronger e-juices (that would crack plastic atomizers). They did not have replacement wick's for these models, She apologized, but they are just starting out. Toronto doesn't have a demand for such a range of variety yet.
They DO carry some awesome tank atomizers though. I splurged & picked up a Dual Coil AeroTank (By splurged, I mean spent 30 bucks on this AWESOME atomizer, so totally worth it). It's a glass tank, which allows you to vape those stronger juices which would crack plastic tanks (think cinnamon, root beer, cola). Those stronger flavors are usually my favorites, but it gets mildly annoying having to constantly refilling a drip-tip atomizer while vaping. Having a glass tank let's me vape away for hours without having to carry around the e-juice in my purse. The atomizer also has a ring that allows you to control the airflow into the tank. Never had heard of tanks that did this. It's fun to play around with while vaping. The tank also came with a replacement wick. It's my new favorite atomizer for sure.
The staff will show you all the parts, and how to use them before you buy them. Such amazing customer service. I cannot wait to watch this place grow. It really is the leader in bringing Vaping to Toronto. I'm planning on stopping by one more time before I leave for San Diego to pick up some more e-juices for myself & to send to my mister who is deployed. I know he'll enjoy this treat in his next care package.
