What would bring you into your local vape shop?

I must be lucky as my local store does have a bar with stools, comfy sofa, coffee & snacks and a range of testers. The testers are pre-loaded tanks rather than offering a squirt of this & that, but it works well and best of all, they don't charge for a taste.

Sounds ideal. The shops near me are all pretty small, never more than one member of staff on at any one time, so it'd probably be a bit of a faff keeping lots of tester tanks topped up while serving at the counter at the same time, although they are starting to do a few testers, but the way I see it, for that to make sense you need a lot of them. No point in having half a dozen juices in tanks for testing if you're selling a range of hundreds, unless you're plugging "flavour of the week" or something.

I think it's mainly newer flavours they have in the testers. I think they assume most people will have tried older flavours & offer them a taster of new stuff so it's not so much of a gamble. You're right though, they have hundreds of flavours and maybe 30 or so testers.

I'd like the employees to be more knowledgable at directing me through their e-liquid stock based on PG/VG blend. I asked and I got a simple, "Well depending on your Nic MGs blah blah." I know more Nic will give you more throat burn but I also know the PG/VG blend plays a role as well.

I would visit a shop to try out some flavors if I had one in walking distance.

I'd need it to be really close to parking, or be able to open my garage door to get my mobility scooter out. C

Try before you buy, definitely.

Similar to earlier comments, I feel staff are the essential aspect of getting me into a shop. If I know I can gain some insight into something or come away with something new or some news, I would definitely return.

Something different. In the city I live in there are countless vape shops stocked up to the roof with Chinese brand equipment. If I wanted to get something with a DNA board I have to go online. If I wasnt something squonk related I have to go online. The only things I buy locally are juice and cotton, because I can try the juice in any of the stores and I like the cotton one of them sell.

Imagine having 5 clothes shops in your city and they all sold EXACTLY the same things, that is how vaping outlets are in many town and cities across the UK.
