How about a new smoke shop for East Houston



Coming soon signage is up at 279 E. Houston between Clinton and Suffolk...

This smoke shop will sell a little something for everyone vaporizers, E-juices, tobacco, grinders, cigars, soda and beer, per the sign...



The storefront was previously home to the boutique A Little Wicked. As BoweryBoogie noted in May 2014, the proprietors behind the now-shuttered Scarab Lounge on First Avenue wanted to open something called Zu Zu Lounge Hookah Bar in the space. That never happened.

I don't understand this wave of smoke shops considering you can't smoke anywhere.

Vaporizers, E-juices, tobacco, grinders, cigars, soda and beer. Awesome.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere near one of these smoke shops. Those lithium ion batteries in the e-cigarettes keep blowing up, just like the ones in the hoverboards. It's just a matter of time before one of these places burns down an entire building.

The smoke shop on 14th and A has been open a while now and I've never seen one single person in it except for the lonely cashier.

Giovanni, after a quick Google search on exploding e-cigs, I now hate you lol. My lips and teeth and general face area thank you, but the rest of me not so much.

@NOTORIOUS I just saw a video of an e-cigarette blowing up in some guys pants, he went to the hospital with 3rd degree burns. Another guy is in a coma because it blew up while he was smoking one. Airlines banned them in checked baggage because they are a fire hazard. I'm sure if they have a good battery and not overcharged they are OK, but too many have those cheap batteries from China, probably made out of gunpowder and sawdust, So be careful out there e-smokers, the next puff could be your last.

@Giovanni It's my one last pleasure in life. But I figured something could go wrong with the battery the day I used a blu e-cig to stir my ice coffee and the battery wouldn't shut off. #trailerparklifestylerager

@Giovanni PS. It's pronounced CHY-NAH.

And whatever you do, for God's sake don't smoke e-cigs while you're riding a Hoverboard. Double jeopardy!

NOTORIOUS said...

@Gojira Thank you for planning my 4th of July!

GIOVANNI, GOJIRA - STOP IT!!!

They're not hoverboards. They don't hover. They're just chug-chug boards or wankerboards or splode-boards.

We can fight this thing!

In the 70s, a butane lighter went up in flames in my dad's shirt pocket. I think the lighter company bought him a new shirt.

DrGecko - "splode-board" - my new favorite word. NOTORIOUS - sssssMOKIN'!

@NOTORIOUS Thanks to Gojira, at least now you won't be riding a Dr. Gecko brand splode-board over an electrified ConEd manhole while smoking a defective e-cig during a thunderstorm.
