Now, as well as being a passionate vaper and Steam
Machine employee, Darrell is looking to start an advocacy
group, uniting vape companies from around the country.
As a SNES Street Fighter battle between staff ensued
behind us, I spoke to visitor Roy – a somewhat sceptical
smoker whose friends were increasingly making the switch to
e-cigarettes. He appeared to be close to pulling the trigger, so
it was an honour to be the one to help him enter the world of
vaping with the aid of a free, easy-to-use starter kit.
Next up was Danny, who seemed as interested in the vehicle’s
potential as a party bus as any of its contents. I soon directed
him to the vape box to try out some potential new liquids.
“There are so many of them now, I might never find the right
one. I can only keep trying, I suppose!”
I headed back into the shop where staff and customers
chatted casually. It was clear from the relaxed atmosphere
that they felt at home. As manager Paul explained, that’s all
part of Steam Machine’s charm.
“It’s like a social club, really. We don’t pressure people to buy
things.”
With the evening upon us, it was time to pack down and head
off for the next leg of the journey, full steam ahead.
We’re always happy to answer any questions about our
