Victorious Vapors

This place is a joke. I bought a tank from here and it always leaked. Also if you are looking for a decent vape juice. This place is far from satisfactory. Will never return. Poor customer service. The drawling board is sreaming at the owner and the staff to come back and figure out what the f**k went wrong

I typically give myself a 24 hr cooling off/​analytical period before leaving a negative review as I rely heavily on Unilocal for my own choices, in retail, restaurants, what have you. However, I wouldn’t recommend this shop at all. Firstly, they don’t have typical brands of mods or tanks that you see elsewhere. They make their juices all in house, and that’s fine, one of my favorite shops does the same, and while Victorious Vapors might taste great, (not sure I tested just one) they are all 50 vg50 pg with the exception of their «premium liquids», which they have no testers for. One man was kind enough to let me try a flavor on his dropper, but that brings me to my next point – the attitude of the staff. They didn’t introduce themselves so I couldn’t tell u their names, but I originally came in for a coil – wasn’t near home, so I dropped in there. The guy changed me 8 dollars for a coil that I have never paid more than 4 bucks and change for. When I asked about the cost, the guy defensively said «I don’t sell fakes!» I didn’t say he did, didn’t do anything close to suggesting that, and the box and packaging and product were the exact same as what I pay 3 – 4 bucks for in a more affluent area. The other guy was helpful enough but didn’t offer much insight on product (except I haven’t tried it so idk). I started vaping to quit smoking, so, thanks to my local preferred stores, I’ve educated myself about it along with more experienced vapers (and shop owners) i trust. Being that they work in a vape shop you would think that they would test and take pride in everything they sell.
Finally, while I was waiting on my «tester» I heard the same guy who jacked up the cost on an Arctic coil tell another customer who asked «what’s your highest nic strength?» «24 is the highest we go now bc we just got busted by the FDA for selling 36 mg». If they were «busted by the FDA» for anything, it’s hard to trust anything they sell. While what I tasted was nice and flavorful, I didn’t buy it bc I wouldn’t trust a vape shop operating illegally — the govt (with the help of big tobacco) is already trying to ban the stuff and has placed tighter restrictions on vaping in many states, so I can’t support a shop that puts the vape community at risk. Not sure if the men I interacted with were managers or owners, but not the nice community atmosphere u get at just about any other shop trying told stay open.
