Can someone let me know if there's another number that I can call? I'd greatly appreciate it ..

By far the best eCig shop I've found in the city…read more First of all, I should tell you about the people: These eCigs aren't all that complicated, but when you don't have a clue at what your looking at, the options and terminology can get a bit overwhelming. This is where the folks at Hot Vapes shine -- they are awesome. Unlike other shops I'd been to, everyone here was amazingly helpful, patient, and didn't make me feel like an idiot because I didn't have a graduate degree in electrical engineering. They walked me through all the options, from the basic kits on up to the advanced stuff. They explained the differences and didn't try to "up-sell" me to the expensive equipment -- instead, they helped me find the device that fit me best. Next, there's the equipment: They have most everything you'd want -- from super basic stuff, to the the advanced, and everything in between. I ended up falling somewhere in the middle and picked up an iTaste SVD ... It's easy to use, lets you customize power settings to adjust the vapor levels and taste, and is really durable. It also holds a couple different types of rechargeable batteries -- I use a large one for when I'm at work which lasts a day or two between charges, and a smaller one when I'm heading out for the night and want something a bit more discreet. Finally, there's the "Juice" or eLiquid: THEY HAVE THEIR OWN LAB! They have somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 different flavors to choose from, a tasting station where you can try them all, and are great at helping you find something you'll like. They make everything to order, so you may have to wait 5-10 minutes, but it's well worth the wait. You can also ask them to "customize" the flavors a bit if you want. For people trying to find a replacement for a "real" cigarette, they have the only liquid I've found that actually gives you the taste of an actual cigarette -- not just a tobacco leaf flavor, but something that comes amazingly close to the burning paper and tobacco taste you'd get from the real deal. It's called... get this: ILLUSION. So, on to the con: They have a sign, but it's on the inside and only visible if you're looking through their front window. On my first attempt to find them, I gave up. On my second attempt, I passed them twice despite my GPS telling me when I'd arrived. Guys! Get a sign on the OUTSIDE of the building. *** Update *** - No more cons! They have a sign! Bottom line: Great people, amazing selection of flavors, good selection of eCigs and equipment. They're my official go-to and the best shop in the city.

Big fan of this place…read more Came here with a buddy on a Sunday afternoon. I was instantly greeted by the owner who pointed out a few of their latest pickups. The lounge is decent sized; there's lots of chairs and several TVs. The star here is the humidor: I don't think there's a cigar line they don't carry. And the pricing was excellent; nothing juiced up over MRSP. If you're in the burbs and looking for a spot to have a chat, definitely give them a look

I first walked into FreE-Cigs without really knowing what I was looking for. I had recently quit…read moresmoking but still missed the social aspect and still needed something to do in circumstances where I would normally smoke. Kevin was busy at the moment, but James, after finishing with another customer, gave his undivided attention to answer all of my questions and help me decide what I should start with. Everything I asked was met with an answer that left no doubt as to the knowledge James had about every product in the store and what would work best with how and when I would vape. I had seen videos of the many mods and I rebuildables available, and initially this is what I thought I'd walk out with. However, after great conversation with James, and some input from Kevin, I decided on the starter Evod with the Weisenheimer E-liquid and a pack of 1.8 ohm coils. I left completely satisfied with my purchase and experience at FreE-Cigs My experience was more than I could ask for. I have since been back quite a few times and the experience only grows. Kevin and James have no problems with answering any questions and radiate their passion in each customer interaction from beginners to the experienced. They also expand my own knowledge with every visit. I am still using the Evod starter kit and another similar product and have yet to take my vape to the next level, but when I do, FreE-Cigs is where I will go.

It's a place you can sit and relax and just try different flavors and there are so many new flavors every time I stop by. I have tried different flavors from the Internet but I usually have a bad after taste. Big dog has great juices that you can taste. I would highly recommend this place for anyone attempting to quit smoking. I live in Lombard and take the 30 min drive when ever I need a fill up. Big Dog vapes is a very relaxed place the have set hours but are very flexible with quitting time. I call them all the time if I'm running behind and they work with me alot. Thanks Dave and Ben
