To his own surprise, he found vaping to be so preferable, he eventually gave up cigarettes entirely. With vapes, he said, he likes knowing exactly what he’s putting in his body. “I knew cigarettes were going to kill me. At least with this stuff, I’ve got a shot.” Nicotine is vilified mainly because of its delivery method, he said. But much remains to be studied about the harmful effects of nicotine itself, purely as a neural stimulant. To those who argue the products are aimed at kids, Ross says the flavors appeal to all ages. At 34 years old, he said, given the choice between tobacco and blue raspberry Jolly Rancher, he’ll choose the candy every time. Furthermore, what about the dozens of fruit- and candy-flavored liquors on the market? He does his part to battle the skepti- cism and opposition simply by trying to educate people the best he can, he said. Anecdotally, Ross said he talks to doctors to gauge their opinions on vap- ing, and they all say they would rather have their patients vape than smoke. Some even steer patients exploring cessation options in the direction of local vape shops. As John Hobler, owner of 9 South Vapes on Main Street in downtown Tuckerton, explained: Some just want to quit smoking; some just want to have fun. His was the very first brick-and- mortar vape shop to open in New Jer- sey, about four years ago, and only the third in the state. “We set the standard in New Jersey,” he said. He now owns three stores, in Tuckerton, Galloway and Toms River, with additional expan- sion on his mind. He has thousands of customers and currently distributes to hundreds of shops in at least half the states across the country; he estimates he picks up five to 10 new wholesale customers a day. He has 18 employees, and the staff is growing. Hobler is also a reformed ciga- rette smoker who avows never to go back. But his objective is to satusfy all comers. For those who want to give up cigarettes, a basic beginner kit may do the trick. The nicotine content of the e-juice is measured in milligrams per milliliter, ranging from zero to about 24, to correspond to the existing habit. For those who enjoy the hobby and want to customize the experience, be- come aficionados and blow big clouds, myriad possibilities await. And for those who like their equip- ment to showcase their personal style, “whatever you have, it looks sharp when you set it up,” Hobler said. The devices and accessories come in “so many variations, it’s ridiculous,” Ross agreed. Popular flavors tend to be seasonal, watermelon, strawberry, lemonade for summer, coffee and hot chocolate in the winter. Ross recom- mends buying juices only from a reputable dealer, rather than online. The trend is “growing in leaps and bounds in New Jersey,” he said, which is bringing more competition for him, as e-cigs and supplies become avail- able in seemingly every gas station and corner store. Hobler’s clientele is a diverse mix, he said, but as a whole they feel vaping is a healthier, less expensive, cleaner alternative to cigarettes. One of his regular customers, a man in his 80s, gave up a 60-year depencency on ciga- rettes when his grandson introduced him to vapes. In a cost comparison, vaping wins in a landslide, at one-tenth the cost of smoking cigarettes. A pack-a-day smoker might spend $250 a month, and an equivalent month’s supply of juice costs $20 to $30, Hobler said. Another way to look at it: a 10-millileter bottle for $7 is the equivalent of carton of smokes for $70, Jurczyk explained. As for the equipment, the op- tions range from basic, small “eGo” atomizers that look like cigarettes, to elaborate $300 “mods” of every shape and size (cylindrical, box-y, pipe-like), and they vary greatly by liquid capac- ity, heating coil, performace and look. They are made for short-term or long- term usage; an atomizer might last a few days, while tanks go for three to five weeks. Some are disposable, and some have replaceable parts. The thickness of the juice also varies. It’s the coil that determines the strength of the “throat hit,” with variable voltage pieces allowing the user to control the electric charge. It all depends on the vaper’s objective with the activity, as a smoking cessation tool or a lifestyle. In Hobler’s display case, one unit charges a cell phone; another counts the number of puffs a user takes. “A lot of people say it smells like a candy store,” he said of the sweet aromas that mingle in the air. At the back of his store is a custom juice bar, where guests can sample flavors without the nicotine and order custom blends. The design of the bar has a steam punk look, while the rest of the atmosphere ties in some European elements to create an international feel. Tables and chairs invite folks to stay and hang out awhile, harkening back to the cigar “shoppe” days when neighbors would meet and sit and talk. Nine South’s head mixologist Will Weissman put together a binder full of detailed descriptions of the chemistry, the processes and the available flavors. “We want to people to make sure they feel really comfortable with it,” Hobler said.
