History
The concept of Vaper Basics began in February 2104 when I grew sick and tired of having to drive to San Marcos or Austin for my vaping supplies. Even when I worked in Austin, the trip to my shop of choice extended my drive time by 20 minutes, or more if there was any kind of traffic. We desperately needed a dedicated vape shop here in the Kyle/Buda area, but I struggled with getting a lease for several months. I decided to go ahead and launch an online store and I ordered a minimal amount of inventory that I could use to jump start a physical location when it became available. The last week of August I found a space to lease. I chose the smallest space because I was not 100% certain of how many in the community used electronic cigarettes, and again, because of the uncertainty, I chose not to spend a lot of money trying to remodel into a typical retail outlet. I instead moved my online home office into this location and added some necessary furniture. And, that is how Vaper Basics began
Specialties
Located in Kyle, TX, we are the first Vape Shop in the Kyle/Buda area. Locally owned and operated, we strive to offer individuals an alternative to tobacco, and have less relapses because they otherwise have to drive for miles or order online to get their refills and equipment. We have liquids of varying VG levels, so we have something for any kind of tank system, and all of our brands are up-to-date with current regulations. We currently don't have any brands that look like they are preparing to bail by the August 8th, 2018 Deadline who are just trying to make as much money as they can before the vanish forever. We Opened very humbly back in Sept. 2014, and have grown way beyond any expectations because we really do want to help people with their vaping needs, and get to know them over time so we can make better decisions as to what is right for them. We will never just sell you what is the hottest or latest item just to make the sale. And although we have grown way above plan, we hope to grow even more a be in business for a very long time.
