Yes, I am in Europe, but right now my partner is wanting to open a shop in the USA.

I am free pretty much anytime

My skype is adultdev.net

Look forward to chatting =D

Eh, i'd deal with shipping any day to pay a fraction of the cost of what i'm buying at a b&m.
30ML of ejuice at a local B&M $24.99 + gas. online $7.50 + 2.5 shipping.
Dual 650 batt ego kit @ local B&M $89.99 + gas. Online 19.99 + shipping.

Takes about 1/4 second to weigh the pros and cons of that.

I love it, but it's a piece of shit, build quality wise. I am just sending back my second unit to be replaced (under warranty, thankfully) and like you said...it's a special charger. The ONLY one I've managed to get to work with it is the one that Davinci actually sells for it...and those are fucking garbage too. I've had two fall apart and the one I bought yesterday was broken right out of the box.

Like I said, I love it when it's working. I don't love now having to be without it for two weeks while it's replaced.

Works in Europe, i can see people here and there "smoking".

I've been researching this market as well, on the brick & mortar storefront side of things.

The B&M you're dealing with is hosing you.

We just got back from Novellus Vape in Niagara Falls, NY - bought the father-in-law an Innokin iTaste vv3 starter kit for $69.99 (includes five iClear16 clearomizers, USB & AC charger systems) - far superior to the 650maH ego starter kit.

We've been getting 30ml (Gold Seal) ejuice for $10.99 (lab tested and certified - not backroom crap) at another B&M shop.

I bought myself a pair of iClear 30mL clearo tanks for $10 ea.

I'm not disagreeing that online is generally the cheaper way to go - but the B&M prices you're quoting are outta whack. Is there very little competition in your local area perhaps?

Anyone here operate a decent web store for ecigs?

Sorry I didn't read the other responses, but I would say wait until the FDA comes down with their supposed regulations we've been waiting on forever before you move in this industry. As much as I back it and think it could be a game changer, and lots of people are running online and brick & mortar shops that could fight anything the FDA comes up with just because business is powerful and these e-cig guys are getting huger and huger, FDA regs could change everything...

Or, you could jump right in and you'll definitely cash in because the territory is ripe, and then have to fight for your place if the FDA rules against e-cigarettes - but you won't be alone, at least....

:D

Do some basic market research in the local area of the brick and mortar location. You are looking for the number of outlets already operating and go from there.

There are some places with over saturation in the market place, some markets are still waiting for a dedicated vapors store.

Added: Make sure your potential partner or your employees know the product, perhaps even use it.

We have a few places locally but at the best 1 every one working there gave up cigarettes and now use vapor instead.

Did not hear from you =(
