Our Start
When I opened my company I refused to cater to any particular genre. I was determined to make everyone who entered my store to feel welcomed and comfortable. Lives have been changed permanently and dramatically since 2013. We are family- the 619 crew and our community are a United Front in combating the devastation that big tobacco has created in our world.
I believe without a shadow of a doubt- that by keeping God at the center of my business- always- has been the sole reason for all the success and all the positive changes it has brought to our community and everyone who has encountered the 619 family.
Our Mission
We at Vapintheweb will continue to provide exemplary service, quality products, education and a place to feel at home.
Our Efforts
To this day-we at Vapintheweb have and continue to advocate for Vaper’s rights. Our first fight was at a Federal level to keep us out of the category of tobacco. After several trips to DC with my partner James, we ultimately lost. The Federal Government as well as the State of California deemed us tobacco by statutory definition in 2016. Our efforts 2 years ago in Sacramento ultimately aided in stopping the flavor ban here in California. Since then our fights for vaper’s rights have become more localized here in our Counties and Cities where they continue to try and implement bans and disregard their community members rights! Unfortunately we have lost many of the battles but we have not given up.
In our efforts of advocacy we met Arkan Somo, the President of the Neighborhood Market Association. He saw our passion along with our struggle and lack of unity and organization in our industry and offered his help and expertise. He helped us create Communities for Safer Vaping, of whom I am the Chair and James is Co-Chair. He has also welcomed me to be the first woman on the Board of the NMA where I continue to learn and grow from all the members. I am excited and look forward to all the opportunities to be able to continue to serve our community in anyway I am asked.
