Opinions on 2 brands of Juice

rob316

Hi Guys

Ye are the experts and I am wondering if anyone has any opinions or reviews on the following Juice Brands.

Hangsen
WizMix

I am going into the e-cig business and I would like to gauge some thoughts on either if that's possible.

Hangsen is cheaper but Wizmix is a UK made brand and I like the idea of staying closer to home.

Send us all free samples and we'll let you know :-)

Haven't tried either but Hangsen can be got almost everywhere. Are you going to sell it as cheap or cheaper than other established vendors?

WizMix is on my avoid list, I've read some really bad reviews of that stuff. Edit: to be fair Ive also read some good ones.

You can get 100ml of hangsen from bargainvapor.com for €13.99, very cheap (and nasty if you ask me). Some people seem to like it but the one I tried was horrible. Haven't heard of the other stuff.

Are you opening a website or a B+M shop. There's a lot of Irish websites already selling quality stuff delivered next day so could be a hard market to break into.

In fairness i wouldn't expect much comeback on either unless you're targeting the starter market (even at that).

The problem with that also is that,starters aren't always going to remain starters and will move onto better juices.With the competition of people already selling these juices i can't really see much of a demand.

Niche juices will get people into your shop,if you're selling the same as everybody else you're only creating competitors.

If you don't have good juices,the hardware sales are going to suffer.Juices are the pull product for shops.People will buy juice with their hardware rather than ordering off two shops and paying double on shipping.

Thanks guys.

We would be looking to add an ecig section to an already fairly busy retail store in a shopping centre we have. so just retail. I would be well aware of the different type of market between retail and online as we also have an ecommerce business in another consumable industry.

I would be targeting the starter market with the usual ego, ce4 etc. If all goes well we would be looking to becoming a more specialist store, ive seen some of the kits ye have, very impressive I must say.

I absolutely understand the consumable is the most important and will keep the customer coming back, so what would people recommend?

Contact e-smokeireland.eu and see if they'd be interested in getting any of their brand/s into stores.
The Wingnuts range belongs to them, the House of Liquid range is someone they're partnered with...not sure what kind of deals or contracts if any there are with the other ranges that would or wouldn't allow them to act as wholesalers of those juices, but the Wingnuts/HoL combo is unbeatable for variety and quality.
That's if they're interested of course.

All Wingnuts/HOL liquids are available to bricks and mortar, not online though.

Are you a vaper yourself? have you tried Hangsen and WizMix for yourself?

I think the specialist juice is what's lacking in the b&m shops, there is no real quality choice when it comes to juices!

But then In saying that I don't know how much of a market there would be for the higher end juice!

I would love to see a shop that provides quality pvs, mods, atomizers etc not just someone trying to make a quick fortune on cheap Chinese dirt

But again in saying that I don't think the boards contingent interested in high end gear would keep a shop like this open!

I would suggest in store surveys, testing, scouting out other successful shops and really getting to know the demands!

Also I would suggest very knowledgable staff in this particular area of your shop, the old 'cheaper and better for your health' line can pull some but not all. I have been to very little shops but I have found in the few I have been in to just be selling the ego batteries, a clearo, a bottle of juice and your on your way, there in no breakdown of the kit and it fairly daunting to get into

Agreed, what better way to see what people think about two juices than to give them a sample and see what they think of it.

I really can't agree more about having knowledgeable staff.

I work in one of the places that sells the ego, clearo, juice and you're on your way. The amount of people who come to me saying they weren't told anything about their stuff is ridiculous. I always give detailed instructions and talk through the whole kit, but I also know that very, very few of my colleagues know enough to do that. I have people using other brands asking me how to use their kit.

Definitely make sure your staff know what they're talking about!

DrDebaser

100% agree that staff knowing what the f*** they are talking about is vital. The new chain of stores opened across n dub had some staff who had half a day training and then off you go. Result they sold me a cigar flavoured juice that was a fruit flavour ! (To be fair I whinged to head office in the North and they were totally cool, said that people told any tale to get a job, and that often flavours are very subjective. They were interested in feedback and swapped my juice for another when I went back 2 weeks later) . I think that the new to ecigs market is sewn up . Only way in now is stocking amazing variety of juices . Good luck but you're a bit late.

Was in another new shop recently and the girl working there had no idea what vaping was about......such a lack of imagination too in these shops, you would think they would at least make an effort to have a few mods and drippers on display.

Never heard of or tried WizMix, I've tried quite a few Hangsen juices and tbh, none of them do a whole lot for me, the ones that are decent are just that.

They won't stand up to a quality premium flavor imo, they can come close, effectively you get what you pay for with standard juices, you can get the occasional surprise though.

Some Hangsen reviews reviews and I've a few more to follow up with.
