| - Guess I'm the one to break the 5 star streak. Sorry guys. Lets just get to the review and you guys be the judge. Remember this is IMO. I support all B&M shops, so this is just my constructive criticism.
So the shorty has been in between mods and rda for the past 2 weeks and today we decided to shoot to this B&M to check out the mods they had so we compare sizes, weight ect. It's by the house, in fact only about 2 miles or so away. Did not know they were there. Hidden between the coldstone and zabas on Durango and 215, it is situated in a very cozy convenient spot. 9 months old this shop is, opened in November 2013, so she's a fresh to the neighborhood. Parking is plenty.
Walked in, and wow the set up is pretty sa-weet. Display case with mech-mods to the left with a nice build workstation, a display case with your accessories, drip tips, batteries ect, to the right, and a juice bar to the rear with nice bar stools and an LCD for viewing. Overall a pretty clean, but dimmed shop.
2 workers behind the left counter and I believe the owner behind the right. A sneeze backed by a cute fart, would have been more entertaining than the greeting we got. It was a very awkward greet, walked in and there was no life. No energy at all. (Gosh this weather) The owner had to get one of the workers to help us saying, "Get up move" to him. We knew what we were looking for and just wanted to compare and ask questions, but the excitement was missing from this experience. Nick did not seem too confident talking about the mods and seemed to know more about his set-up than what he had in the case. The most excitement we got from him was from talking about his mod, but still then, he was too closed off. Good laughs with the pinoy worker there, even though most of the convo was not directed to him. It helped loosen up the quietness in the air. I'm sure Nick did not mean to, but my man, in this industry it's the customers and clientele that make your business. Have to break out of that quiet shell of yours, and have fun with it. Wife even mentioned "Is he making noises, I can't hear him."
We did not take the time to sit at the juice bar, which I am waiting to go back for an update review, but what I do know is: house juices. From what I was told, they are home brewed and brought in to sell. Hope this is not the case. What if you wanted more watermelon or less strawberries in your blend? You mean its sold as is? What about max VG or 80/20 blend? This is why I don't buy from ready mix companies, we drippers/vapors love the juices pretty much customized to our taste. But I don't know yet till I sit at the bar.
3 Stars for cleanliness of the shop. But being open for 9 months, there should be more knowledge and excitement than what we received today. Hey its a first for us, but will be back for part 2.
