Yesterday, my buddy Paul and I drove to Irvine to
visit Five Pawns. This is a relatively new
e-liquid company that makes some truly excellent
juices. Some vapers have given the company heat
for its pricing. After chatting with the company
president and learning about the business model,
I believe that the controversy is unwarranted.
Five Pawns isnt about competing with the
numerous vendors that sell e-liquid online. The
focus is on retail, which is why the companys
online prices (27.50 for a 30ml bottle) seem
high. It doesnt want to undercut its retail
partners, so its online prices are the same as
what you find in stores. Compared to online
prices, 27.50 is definitely high, but its
inline with brick-and-mortar prices. Ive seen
30ml juice sell for 20 to 25 in stores.
Considering that Five Pawns e-liquids use premium
ingredients and packaging, 27.50 is a reasonable
retail price. Five Pawns has an awesome tasting
room at its Irvine headquarters. It hasnt
officially opened yet, but the grand opening will
be in a few weeks. Obviously you can try the five
e-liquids Five Pawns currently offers, but you
can also try the Reserve line, which is
currently being steeped in barrels. I got to try
some while I was down there and it was absolutely
delicious. The tasting room will also be used for
flavors that the company developers. In that
respect, it reminded me of visiting a vineyard
that lets you sample wines that arent available
in stores. The room has a great layout, full of
comfy chairs, great bar space, and signed Shepard
Fairey prints. Its a super-cool space and I hope
to make it back down for the grand opening.
