They make decent money. A lot of it in cash. At least the amounts that they report and I see.

I always go back and forth trying to decide if people who vape are more trashy, or weird.

hes one hundred percent selling the disposable vapes that are getting banned state by state. there are places near here that sell them, the owner buys in bulk in a legal state and just drives back and sells them.

maybe other things too, but 100% that

Well, let me tell you what sir, there are pockets of very unusual groups out there that would consider the regular guy an anomaly. I walked into a gun shop to eyeball silencers, thermal scopes, and some custom built rifles. I heard some cheering and banter next door as I was leaving. So, I walked into this shop that sold older, salvaged, video gaming systems, games and Pokémon cards. There were mostly adult males playing Pokémon games and the cheers were from the throng that watched. I was not sure if people were in costume or naturally dressed the way they were.

It was a u-turn for me. In my case one was not like the others….

So you unboxed a cash register.

Did "don't put it in the computer" not occur to them?

When the concept of vapes first came out I remember one of the benefits was people could smoke one and barely anyone would notice because it barely produced any smoke and had no smell.

Now when I see these morons smoking them now, it looks like a smoke grenade just went off and you can smell the shitty candy flavors from 20 yards away.

And some of them are bigger than a 90s cell phone.

Everyone I know who has used them were trying to quit smoking cigarettes and it was effective in that. I don’t know about weaning off the vape though.

I guess it’s mostly kids who start out vaping without smoking.

That’s the thing that was weird about it, he wanted to put it in the POS system so he could show the person an actual receipt on the screen, but then he wanted to just back out of it after they gave him cash.

Spoke perfect English and Arabic and the owner kept checking in from Miami.


I have always thought there were something more to the places.. I have been saying some of them have to be fronts. Anything gave you that impression?

I was coming to say this. They want to put on the show and then pocket the cash. I am sure the system logs any voids

I’ve never been in one of these vape or CBD shops, but there is literally one in every single shopping center now. I’m glad I’m old.

Another thing the younger generation spends money on they classify as normal or a need.

Our generation goes to cigar lounges, like real men.

not sure about BR, but usually vape shows run by Arabs are usually guilty.

also, any smoke shop that has some how managed to stay open despite the disposable vape ban is probably selling them quietly.
