Vancity Vapor

I can’t stand the guy who works there. He is a total jerk and will always give you a lazy answer and is not friendly at all. Their juice is bitter and is not that good at all. Screw these guys.

Ask me how i really feel… I DARE YOU.
This was the very first physical e-​cigarette location I had ever gone to, so I was ecstatic, having discovered my first retail location. I bought my first e-​cig off
(high quality product at the time and fantastic customer service) but had to buy nicotine liquid from a guy in an alley for a while. I was not a fan of the scenario. I discovered Vancity Vapor via Google, because in 2012 i wasn’t aware of many places that sold ejuice with nicotine. I had been going to him for a while, but one day I stopped by CEV because i was making the commute to SFU and found it more convenient (definitely check them out). The flavor of CEV juices is far better and the vapor from CEV is mind blowingly superior to that of Divine Fog. I told the guys at CEV that I’d still been smoking cigarettes because the throat hit was lacking in my (Divine Fog) juice. They laughed in my face once i told them where i used to buy my juice. DivineFog (trademark of vancity vapor) is KNOWN to be of absolute crap quality. When i tried CEV juice, It felt like i could see in color for the first time, and have officially been cigarette free for 2 years now.
MOREOVER, 2 years later, today i was in need of a replacement piece for my kanger aerotank (do yourself a favor and avoid this finicky and brittle product). The only place in town that sold it, was Vancity Vapor. A little over 2 years later after having boycotting Divine fog, i purchased some Redbull ejuice along with my replacement part, because i was curious if they still suck after boycotting their juice for so long. THEY STILL SUCK. There is virtually no throat hit (rumored because he uses water in his juice; 24mg feels like 12mg). do yourself a favor and avoid the makeshift juice making. the guys don’t even wash their hands before nor after mixing, but they mix to order in 30 seconds (a little fast yes?) .
In all fairness… the flavor of the juice at Vancity Vapor is nice. You should go there if you’re looking for 0 nic juice. The aerotank replacement part also works fine. He carries legitimate hardware, but at marked up prices.
Other places you should check out instead
Canadian Electronics Vapor and Eastsidevapes. Not exactly in the Vancouver vicinity, but definitely worth the commute. Just be weary that Divine Fog is distributed to multiple vendors, It is the same shit… on a different plate.

I’m 21 years old and have been smoking for 7 years. Typically, I love smoking, although the backs of my teeth are yellow, my hands smell horribly and the financial aspect is horrifying. I tried a friend’s e-​cigarette at work and was surprised at how similar it was to smoking the real thing.
I went to Vancity Vapour and was greeted by one of the two gentlemen that run the place. He was knowledgeable, kind and helped me determine the best e-​cigarette for my smoking habit. I ended up with an EVOD Vaporizer which was approximately $ 90.00. This included TWO devices and the charger, as well as 5 additional coils. I also purchased 5 10ml bottles of «E-​Juice» or whatever it’s called. In total, it came to $ 135.00. All of their prices include taxes!
The man who assisted me with my purchase told me that on average, a 10ml bottle of «E-​Juice» will last you approximately 4 packs of cigarettes (each 10ml bottle is 9.99 or you can get 5 for 44.99). I’ve found that the 10ml bottles last me about 7 packs which is fantastic.
A day after I purchased my device (s), one woudn’t vaporize (it would flash three times and that’s it), and the other was just filling my mouth with liquid. I called for some over the phone troubleshooting which they were more than happy to do. I am EXTREMELY new to e-​cigarettes and decided I would just bring them in for him to look at. When I arrived, the same gentleman I had dealt with the first time was there to assist me. He replaced the coil on the device that would only flash 3 times free of charge, and the other device just wasn’t screwed on tight enough… my silly mistake.
Overall, I give Vancity Vapour a 5 star rating. Customer service is excellent, they sell a quality product and have an awesome variety of flavours to choose from, as well as cheerfully answering any questions/​fixing anything that’s wrong with your device. :-)

Let me start by saying that the only reason they get 2 stars is because they make their own e-​juice on site.
This shop was a horrible experience. Luckily we knew what we wanted or else I would have just walked out (and nowhere else was open). If you want young hipster know-​it-​alls to be rude and you have no questions then this place is fine. For anyone else, not worth it!!! First off, they won’t even let you smell the flavours to see if they are appealing. We asked what happens if we think its gross then? Just throw it out? Their response…” If you’re here you can afford to, if not then you shouldn’t be here”… WHAT?!? And if we «don’t understand what he means, then that’s our problem».
If that wasn’t bad enough when we complained that he was being rude he said he didn’t care. AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
Secondly, their prices are higher than other places. We regular CEV and it is cheaper and the guy that runs it is awesome and helpful. It’s a bit of a trip to get there bit REALLY worth it.
I was so disappointed after shopping here and was mad when I left, shopping should not make you angry. I have also heard this from other people and that the owner is worse than his staff.
In short. Vaping has saved us tons of money and we have not smoked in almost a year. If you want to get into it, go to CEV.

If I could go back and smack my 14 year old self upside the head for sitting in a park with a pack of Benson & Hedges 100s, teaching myself to inhale so aggressively that I immediately fainted upon standing — I would. Kids do stupid things to fit in and their adult selves get to spend the next decade paying for it, both literally and figuratively.
Since that absolutely silly afternoon, I’ve smoked a pack a day. A pack a day for 13 years. Why is this oddly specific snippet of my life relevant you ask? So when I tell you, that my eGo-​C electronic cigarette bought from Vancity Vapor & JJ is a huge component in my being nine weeks smoke free, you understand that this wasn’t a flash in the pan, «social smoker» sort of quit cycle. It’s quit attempt number seven. And it sucked.
But of all the times — having the eGo on hand made it a little less so.
If all the anti-​smoking campaigns were honest about what quitting is really like, they’d never convince anyone to do it. Try and think of something in your life that you don every day, multiple times a day, for the last decade… and enjoyed. It’s a really small list. Hell, besides smoking, it’s a non-​existant list. Smoking was ingrained into my life and pleasantly so. So the mental adjustment alone was hellish.
Pair that with headaches, anxiety, loss of sleep, TOO much sleep, exhaustion, shakiness, hunger, irritability and a complete and utter lack of concentration and you’ve got the first few weeks of the quit cycle. If you are like me and have tried, and failed, multiple times — do yourself a favor and invest in this.
Here’s the nitty gritty on what got me through my quit and what i’d suggest for those attempting:
1. Invest in a good model. There are a ton of cheap electronic cigarettes on the market, but if you are like me, this is a pretty big ass deal. Don’t skimp. I personally love the eGo-​C. It doesn’t have a whole bunch of bells and whistles to replace cartomizers. It has two setting for vapor and it’s easy to recharge — it even comes with a usb charger which is endlessly handy.
2. Then buy two. That first two weeks, when you can’t think of anything BUT smoking, the last thing you need is to be out and about when a craving hits and your battery dies. Get a second and have that much needed back up.
3. I like the CE4 Cartomizer. Which is more on the simple side of things. I found I went through the ones with the larger wicks too quickly. This is really all personal preference so expect some trial and error.
4. The e-​juice liquid here is great. Far better then a lot of the other brands i’ve tried. Grab a bottle of tobacco flavoured vapor juice if you must but pick some fancy flavours too. Have fun with it! And go ahead and get the 5 pack… you will need it. I personally suggest: Dr. Pepper; Coconut; Cola and Vanilla.
6. Go in to the store your first time, order online from there on out. It helps to go in and talk it over with someone face to face. Expect to drop about $ 300 that first go — but it will last you for ages. Then once you know what works for you, take advantage of the online ordering. The turnaround time is insanely fast and you’ll most likely have your products within 48 hours. FYI — no debit available in store.
All of the above got me through those brutal first few weeks and beyond. It was still painful, but this made it significantly less so. So why not 5 stars? The only reason this place doesn’t take top marks is because 1. i’ve had a few shipping mishaps that were badly, BADLY timed and 2. I’ve had some communication breakdowns with these guys. So ask LOTS of questions while in person so you know what’s what.
But besides those little flubs — of all the options in town, this place was my go to.
So if you’re quitting/​cutting back/​just want a fancy electronic cigarette to puff indoors — go here.
And good luck!
