Introductory Sessions at City Vapor in Fort Myers
C
ity Vapor & e Cig Fort Myers will host introduc- tory sessions to va- por products from 11 a.m. to noon and 2 to 4 p.m.,
April 19 and 20. The event includes prod- uct demonstrations, raffles and discounts for Natural Awakenings readers. The store says its e-liquid, exclusive to our area, is organic and all natural with nicotine in a water base without the unwanted chemicals, specifically propylene glycol (PG), of some other oil bases. They add that many customers have switched to their organic liquids because they were complaining of a sore throat, wet cough and sometimes sinus problems and headaches when they used conventional vapor liquids containing PG. City Vapor offers a variety of flavors, in- cluding tobacco, fruits and blends contain- ing from 18 milligrams of nicotine to zero.
Bring this story or ad during weekend to obtain 20 percent off purchases of $20 or more. Location: 3547 Cleveland Ave. For more information, call 239- 362-3551. See ad, page 61.
