Vaping has a culture of its own, as does anything that is not participated in by the majority of people. When you are part of a small segment of the society in general, you will gravitate towards those that share your interests in order to find a common ground for conversations and friendship, as well as a sense of acceptance from the group you are choosing to surround yourself with. This can be said about any activity that is controversial, and has a common enemy. With regards to vaping, the enemy is those who do not believe that anyone should have the ability to choose to vape or not, and the tools of their trade is the government and regulations that can be made. This ongoing battle has shaped the culture around vape shops, not because people who vape act any differently than those who do not, but because the regulations that the government puts onto vape shops forces the customers to act a certain way. The most obvious shifts in vaping culture have come as a result of the pandemic, and the fact that people are no longer allowed to gather inside spaces without regulations being placed on them. This shifted vaping from a “coffee culture” type of activity to one where the supplies were purchased online. As a result, the gathering of vaping enthusiasts in vape shops has essentially been eliminated.
In the beginning, vape shops were designed to allow people to comfortably hang out and try new equipment and eliquid flavors. The shops featured lounge areas and seating that resembled that which you would find in a tavern. The customer was expected to spend long periods of time inside the shop, discussing vaping with the staff and other customers, while being exposed to the latest products. When the government stepped in to make sampling almost impossible, the culture of hanging out and trying new things was diminished. When the pandemic hit and it was no longer allowed to gather inside spaces, the culture was completely eliminated. Shopping became an online experience, where people simply purchased their favorite supplies at the website that could offer the best prices and inventories. That culture of shopping without human interaction shifted back to in-person shopping when FEDEX and UPS decided that they would no longer allow for the shipping of vaping supplies, creating a culture where people once again shop in stores, but do not stay for the lengthy periods they once did. There are those that would say that the culture of vaping was diminished by this fact, but in essence it has just changed. Shops like ours are still in business and selling more than ever because we create a culture where both types of customer are catered to. If you want to hang around and experience the latest equipment first hand, we can serve you. If you just want the best prices and inventory in Las Vegas, we also are the best choice. See you soon.
