Shop Review - Ballymena Vape Club

Ballymena Vape Club - Greenvale Street Ballymena

This is an independent review and I am not connected to nor sponsored by the store.

Down a busy pedestrianised street in Ballymena situated neatly between the Tower Centre and the Fairhill shopping centre you will find Ballymena newest vape shop.

From the outside this shop looks much like any other vape shop in the town, but when you go through the doors this were the similarity ends, as you will find out later on.

When you go through the door there is the severing counter directly in front of you which is a 2 sided open box, with shelving for the juices on the back and side. There is a good selection of juices that should cater for everyone's tastes from MTL to the cloud chasers. 

In the square to the front of the counter are 4 cabinets that have a good range of starter kits and more advanced mods. (at the time of writing the shop was awaiting a delivery for even more kit), luxury sofa, a fridge and a large TV. This is a friendly waiting area either to relaxed contemplating your next purchase or to wait to be served. 

Nothing new here I can hear you saying, well walk down the small corridor, following the smell of fresh coffee and you will find another room with an xbox one all set up ready to play and a staircase. 

Head up the stairs and you find a massive space that holds a competition standard pool table, a dart board and a table tennis table(coming soon), now you find out why this shop is called Ballymena Vape CLUB as there is far more to offer than just juice and mods.

From when I walked into the store I was great warmly by Steven who was working who greeted every customer who walked through the door exactly the same.  Now as Steven knows me and knows I vape I wasn't in a position to gage his knowledge, but this soon became apparent with the customers who were served during my time in the shop.

Stevens passion for vaping was apparent and was very knowledgeable helping customer after customer with their vaping needs, from a smoker wanting to stop to vaper wanting to try a new juice.

A phrase that came into my head while I was in the store was "A premium shop without the premium prices" If this is what Robert and Gary have set out to achieve then I can say that they have well and truly achieved it.

My coffee tastes were catered for by the way of fresh perculated coffee which was very fresh and lovely.  

I look forward to seeing how the club side develops in the future. This is the latest store in The E-cig Shop NI chain. the others are: -
