I've been using an e-cigarette on and off again since 2009 and have only used an e-cig since April 2012. Most of the community and stores are online, so it is exceptionally nice to have a location here in town that sells both eliquid and the equipment for the instant gratification factor. Plus, if something breaks, I have a place to get a quick replacement.
Info for those new to ecigs:
First and foremost, their prices are exceptionally reasonable for a brick & mortar. If you've looked at e-cigs at the mall kiosks, please be aware that those are an exceptional rip-off. For the same price that my bro paid for a VERY low-end product, I could have gotten him a mid-range set-up with extra eliquid and replacement parts. That said, there are definitely better prices online. However, once you take into account shipping cost and time, often times it's better to just go to Legend. I'm an instant-gratification kinda gal. They will also help get you started if you're brand new to ecigs, and they're not the kind of folks to sell you the highest-end, most-expensive product unnecessarily (unless that's what you ask for).
Info for those already using ecigs:
As far as equipment goes, they have a broad range of selection from the cigarette-look-alikes up to the high-end APVs (advanced personal vaporizers). The APVs have the added benefit of being able to adjust the voltage and/or wattage, but are often much larger in size than most people are accustomed to. With that said, they carry a number of products that I'd consider to be "mid-range" both in terms of price as well as capability. With that said, there are a few APVs that are mid-range priced ($20-60) that I feel outshine the high-end equipment (I'm looking at you, Provari), like the 3rd generation VAMO. Not only is it variable voltage, but it's also variable wattage with an easy to use screen and +/- buttons that the other APVs often lack. Single button units drive me absolutely nuts.
Along with the "battery" portion, Legend carries a broad range of atomizers/cartomizers. Everything from tanks to clearomizers to straight up atomizers with a drip tip (and a ton of colorful choices when it comes to drip tips). They carry the old standbys: DCTs, CE4s, Vivi Novas, etc. And they also carry the newer tanks. I picked up a Phoenix Raven Nest the other day, and they carry both versions of the Kanger ProTanks (and in numerous colors).
To the ZOUNDS! of eliquid: They have pretty much everything. The brand is Dragon King. Despite being an eliquid connoisseur, I had honestly never heard of the brand until walking into the shop. Not sure if it's a home-grown or a separate entity, but the flavors are both vast and pretty darn accurate. They have a "tasting bar" set up, which is nice being able to try the flavors before you buy them, but I honestly prefer Buckeye Vapors set up better.
Here's the difference:
At Legend, you ask whichever nice person is standing behind the counter to try a liquid, he/she retrieves the appropriate clearo for you, and you give it a whirl. This is all well and good, but after about the 10th liquid, I really begin to feel like a nuisance even though they're more than happy to let me try anything and everything I want.
At Buckeye Vapors in Columbus, there are two sets of every eliquid set out the glass countertops, the bottom coil clearo is attached to each bottle, screw it onto your battery, cover the tip with a condom-type covering, and vape away. There's no asking or feeling like you owe the person handing you the sample an explanation as to how you felt about it. This really could just be me, but I feel I had to comment on every liquid I tried at Legend, whereas I didn't feel that same need at Buckeye.
Do I wish Legend would go to this method? Hells yeah. Am I going to stop going there because of it? Hells no.
Lastly, their customer service is phenomenal. I always feel like the main attraction when I walk in (which is probably because I've spent a fortune there, though, have to admit I was treated like that the first time I walked in). They're prompt, friendly, and truly interested in what their customers want and need. That's the kind of customer service I can get behind. Bravo to them! read more
