Won't shop there and neither will my friends after sharing my experience. The markups on name brand items are high. I visited Smok's website to view their products. I saw the retail prices on the products on their website. The product I wanted to purchase listed MSRP $29.99 it was the Smok Stick V8. In store the price was $49.99. I asked why the price was marked up so high over MSRP and the employee said the owners set the price and there was nothing they could do. The employee themselves even admitted that the markups at the store were a bit ridiculous. I looked at other name brand products in the store and found that most products had prices SUBSTANTIALLY over regular retail. So I made sure to inform all of my vaping friends to seek other purchasing locations. It is not good to mark up products so high that you price yourself over the market. Better to to business honestly and get more customers.... more volume= more profit. This store makes its profit dishonestly. They lost me as a customer within 8 minutes of walking in the store. Along with anyone else who researches products prices before they buy.
