If they were black, rest assured this robbery was for the best.

If they were white (far more likely), that sucks and i hope you catch those scumbags.

How much it cost to set up your vape shop and how much do you profit? Do you got a few part time workers?

Ah bro. I really appreciate that. But tbh, I live in Hawaii and it would be more expensive for you to order from me due to shipping over the pacific lol.

If you ever in Hawaii though, hit me up, ill hook you up

Also, did you ever try the Jewel Mint Pod juice? Is the Diamond mint much better?

Yup, that is actually a huge issue. Along with catalytic converters being sawed off of every car that has one. We have a chronic overload problem here, and unfortunately that results in TONS of petty crimes, theft, and break in's.

I had $25k to my name and used it all to start this shop 1.5 years ago.

Since then I worked every day by myself, except for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, so no part time workers, just me.

First year - negative every month.

I'm still a relatively new business and profits have been slowly increasing month by month.

Every month has been better than the previous month, and last month profit was between $10k-15k

Dat dere HI shipping is certainly a pain in the arse. I run an ecommerce business and 9 times out of 10 i can't even ship to you guys. Believe it or not, I have a hard time shipping to CA as well. Not sure what's up with that

Thanks breh, I've been thinking about buying a business, something like a beauty supply store, though I'd hire people so it becomes kinda passive. Have you thought about setting up a website where people can order?

$15k profit is pretty crazy, are you putting that back into the business and paying yourself the rest?

I can provide shipping if you got a FedEx center nearby lol. got a deal through work.

Yeah I started on the Jewel Mint one, tried out the jewel mint sapphire, then jewel mint diamond. I like diamond best because it's the least sweet. just pure mint flavor

I find Diamond and regular mint to be most similar, sapphire is noticeably sweeter than the two. diamond is just a bit more clean and refreshing to me than jewel.

I have thought of making a website eventually, hopefully sooner than later. I don't know much about doing that tbh so i'll definitely need to hire someone. Small retail is really all i know and have experience in, so i basically stuck to what i knew.

As for the profits, I'm putting about half of it back into the business: wider + more inventory, store fixtures, counters, etc. I started off with extremely limited capital so I had a lot of catch up to do once I started actually making profits.

$15k seems like a lot, but i have family members making 3-4x that. They've been open for 5+ years though. Hoping to get there sooner than later.

Sorry to hear. Situations like this frustrate me, because a lot of looters really feel โ€œinsurance will fix itโ€, and have 0 clue as to how much they victimized an innocent person. My dads pharmacy was looted a few months back, it fukin sucked.

No. I literally woke up to the police knocking on my door at 3:00 AM.

I was still half-asleep when they told me my business was broken into, and had to drive straight over there to meet the police investigators.

Police tried to reach me by phone but I didn't hear it wake up, so they came to my house.

It sure is. There are like 10+ vape shops within 30 minutes from my business. Then again, I live on an island so everything is a lot closer together than the mainland.
