It was one of the first beautiful days of the new year, so I decided to take a walk. According to google, there was a vape shop 1.8 miles away from the Pilot Truck Stop in Russellville Arkansas where I was parked, so I set out for a nice long walk. Sometimes, however, you have to go off the grid. Less than a half mile away from the truck stop I found a Vapor World location that wasn't in the google listing of vape shops near me. For those of you that aren't familiar with Vapor World, they are a chain of vape shops in the Mid West. They carry a nice selection of gear and e-liquids, and here they were within walking distance of the truck stop.

So, you're out there on the road trucking and you run out of supplies for your electronic cigarette or something breaks. It has happened to all of us truckers who also vape, and it can be a nightmare. So what is a driver to do? If you have a Rand McNally Intelliroute TND we now have a Vapor Shop POI directory to help you out. Just download this directory to your computer (below) and then upload it to your TND Dock software. Plug in your GPS with it powered on, and it will give you the option to import this POI directory to your GPS. This will give you a list of 50 vapor shops that carry everything from your favorite e-liquids to batteries, atomizers, and more.

Any time a trucker says "You're not going to believe this" you should take him up on the offer. If I weren't coming to you with proof of this story, I wouldn't even bother bringing it to you at all. But like you would demand to see the ticket from the driver who got "Nailed out in El Paso for going 132 in a 55 and he let me off with a warning ticket" you should expect me to proof up this story, and I will. Nobody would throw that warning ticket in the trash, and I wouldn't let this opportunity slide without a screen shot. Am I building this story up too highly? Not at all. You have to understand the convergence of circumstances, dare I say the cosmic alignment that had to come together to allow this circumstance to happen. Who knows, I may have even discovered what the Mayans were predicting with their calendar.

How do you one up yourself when you have already announced a contest where you are giving away two of the hottest e-cigs on the market today? If you're Village Ecigs in Lewisville Texas, you announce that you will deliver to truckers anywhere in I-35 from LBJ to Denton with a $50 minimum order. Also, they have plenty of room for you to park your rig, so be sure to stop by and browse at your convenience. Village is a new kid on the block, so their online store isn't completely stocked yet, but they are adding new products every day and drivers, they have you covered.

If there is a vapor shop out there that can cater to truckers better than Save A Smoker in Ozark Alabama, I am unaware of its existence. This shop is located in a shopping plaza right behind the Waffle King which is right behind the Kangaroo Express. Translation? Their dumpster is in the truck stop parking lot. This is where I got my first eGo style kit. Yes, the prices are a bit high, but from my experience the guy that runs the place will work you a deal.

A friend of mine and fellow Prime driver was in Amarillo Texas when he fried his eGo battery. This can be a nightmare for a driver on the road, as it is hard to find a place where one can get a truck in to pick up a replacement. Often when we can find supplies, they are extremely over priced. He told me that he was heading east, and I had heard of The Vapor Hut in Oklahoma City, so I gave him their info. When he got closer, he called to see if they had truck parking near them but they did not. However, here is his account of how the company worked with him.
