Shop Review: Royal Vapes, Sandston

     On August 11, 2015 I went on a long journey to the remote village of Roval Vapes.   At first glance it looked like a pretty nice shop.  There was a nice lounge area for vapers to sit and chill and the interior was quite nicely decorated.  I was instantly greeted by one of the owners after that things began to look less impressive. 
     The first problem I have is their juice, most of which contained food coloring.  For those of you who do not know food coloring is extremely unhealthy to vape.  From what I hear food dye mimics estrogen in the body (don’t quote me on that. This is a very young field and there isn’t a lot of research on it).   Another issue with this is food coloring is not on the list of ingredients.  From this you can deduct that other harmful additives may be in the juice.  There were lots of brands that did not contain food coloring and are very well known brands such as beard, green baret etc… 
The next issue I have is customer service.  While the sales side of things is run very well they do not give much help to new vapers.  I was told by the owner that it is not his job to teach people, that’s what the internet is for.  While the internet is full of information, in my opinion a good vape shop is a place of instruction not just community or trade.
     Aside from the issues I mentioned above the shop looks like a nice place to hang out but I personally will not be back any time soon.  I give this store 2 stars.

  2. Your take on Royal Vapes is highly inaccurate due to the fact we carry nothing but premium juices and the best box mods in town... Your blog seems to be favoring other stores,like you work for them. Its unfair to disrespect other businesses.. But please feel free to bring a professional to test and try our wonderful selection

    1. I find it interesting how the hate I got is so u justified based on the fact that this shop no longer exists. I offered suggestions on how to change the shop to the owner and he basically told me to shove my options up my ass. It had potential but never was able to meet it. A personal frien of mine was an employee here and absolutely hated the experience he recieved. Just goes to show you I do know what I am talking about. Love you all and am glad to be back.
