A Hella Interview with HellaVapor

I have the wonderful opportunity to meet so many wonderful vendors, that I decided to interview a few of them!  My first victim (kidding) is Chris from HellaVapor.  I have had the pleasure to talk to her many times and I think she is truly a vendor that has made the costumers her biggest priority.  She will go above and beyond to help the community and has been such a blessing to the staff and forum members at ECA.

Here are 12 important facts you need to know!

Interview with: Chris from HellaVapor

ECA: What do you do on your birthday?

Chris: Eat cheesecake and count my blessings.

ECA: Why did you decide to start your own company?

Chris: Vaping has had such a huge impact on our lives.  We started diy-ing our own juice, then sharing it with family and friends.  It was through a lot of encouragement from them that we decided to take the plunge and become vendors.

ECA: What do you eat for breakfast?

Chris: Grits and eggs!

ECA: How do you come up with new juice flavors?

Chris: Sometimes someone will suggest a flavor they would like to try and other times I will eat or drink something and say “Hey I wanna vape this!”

ECA: Do you believe in UFO’s?

Chris: Yes, because I’m certain that Mr Hella is from another planet.

ECA: What is your favorite juice flavor?

Chris: Wonderland! I’ve been addicted to it for almost a year now.

ECA: Are you ready for the zombie apocalypse and how have you prepared?

Chris: YES. I don’t want to give away any of our top secret plans but lets just say that zombies won’t last long in Montana.

ECA: If you had to go to a vendor, other than yourself, who would you choose?

Chris: I really like Kick Bass Vapor.

ECA: How many pets do you have? And tell us their names.

Chris: We have 3 wiener dogs known as the Hella-Weens. Their real names are Kenny, Gigi and Bucky. They are my babies and  I would gladly give any of them one of my kidneys if they needed it.

ECA: What is your proudest moment as a vendor?

Chris: Hmm…that’s kind of hard because we have so many great moments. Probably the very first official sale we had on our website. That was definitely awesome.

ECA: What is your favorite hobby?

Chris: Vaping and wiener dog wrangling.

ECA: If you could have any ecig mod, what would it be?

Chris: PROVARI

ECA: If you had to get a tattoo, what would it be?

Chris: I love tattoos! I would like a dachshund wearing the halo and horns from our HellaVapor logo. Any doxie lover will totally understand that one, lol.

ECA: Where did you grow up and where do you live now?

Chris: I grew up in a small town in Florida. I currently live in Montana about 80 miles north of Yellowstone National Park.

ECA: What are you most passionate about with vaping?

Chris: That it stays legal and available to adults who want an alternative to smoking. Vaping has made a huge impact on my life and not just as a vendor but as a former pack + a day cigarette smoker.  I have asthma and SVT ( supraventricular tachycardia) which are both greatly affected by cigarette smoking and since I became a full time vaper over 2 years ago, I’ve not had any issues with either one. I think so many people can benefit from vaping and would like become more mainstream so more people find out about it.

ECA: If you could give a new vaper one thing, what would it be?

Chris: Advice on what hardware they should buy to start vaping. I think almost everyone who’s been vaping for awhile could tell you a story about their first stick battery kit and how frustrating (and overpriced) it was to use. I routinely tell folks to forget the sticks and get themselves a good eGo battery, a good clearo and some of our eliquid.  I think it’s important that a new vaper get immediate satisfaction with vapor production and  flavor/nicotine level in a device that’s simple to use. We sell those locally to help folks in our little town get started and they love them.

ECA: What is your favorite show on TV?

Chris: Breaking Bad and Walking Dead are tied at number one for me.

ECA: If you could do one thing before you die, what would it be?

Chris: Only one? Sheesh, that’s tough…I plan on living to be at least 100 years old so I hope to do many things by then.

ECA: Tell me what you think sets your company apart?

Chris: Communication with our customers is a huge priority for us. If anyone has any questions about our eliquid or vaping in general we do our best to help them as quickly as possible.  I personally sign every order I ship with “Happy Vaping” and I mean that, I want everyone to experience that with us.

 

 

I want to personally thank Chris for taking the time to answer these very important questions.  I also want to thank the HellaVapor company as a whole for providing the community with such wonderful juice and so many incredible flavors!  I hope that you stop by HellaVapor to see which juice will be your new favorite!
