Average Joes E-juice is based out of Spokane WA. Joe Vengence, the owner originally began making E-juice with his father as a passion to help people get quality affordable E-juice with premium flavor so that everyone could make the transition from smoking and have a vape flavor that they would love. He was one of the first people in this area to start making and selling ejuice on a large scale. He also helped formed the areas bigger Vape forums and pages for people to find vape items in our area. Anyone who knows Joe, knows he takes great pride in what he does and enjoys making juices that his customers love. In talking to him about this review he said "I don't do this for the money, I don't care about getting rich...I care about bringing my customers a product they love." In the community Joe is a huge advocate. The Inland NW is so lucky we have such talented E-juicers like Joe. Truly a PREMIUM e-Juice without a ridiculous price tag. I spoke with Joe, but I also had him answer some questions I thought the public would be interested in knowing about Average Joes Juice, here's what he had to say:
What made you want to start making Ejuice? I didn't, my Dad did. At the time we were both in college and he wanted to sell ecigarettes to help people quit smoking, I told him no....but he talked me into it and my wife was on board so I agreed. We started selling e cigarettes with a free bottle of juice and before I knew it people were coming back and asking for more juice. We just wanted to try and help people get off tobacco and lead healthier lives. Trying to reach as many people as we could while we could. We never thought it would go this far. It truly is amazing to hear people tell me that our juice is why they quit smoking or chewing and it helps them stay smoke or chew free. How did you begin this company and does the name mean anything personal to you? I began wanting to just help people get off tobacco. It actually started out as Vengence Ejuice, I spelled it wrong to be a little different, but as we grew we really were making juice for the everyday guy or gal, Average Joes, and so we took that name and its been that way since. Who are the founders? Myself, Joe Vengence and my father Jerry. If not for my dad, this wouldn't be possible. I truly have grown up inspired by my father and have always looked up to him. He is my hero. To this day I take a lot of what he taught me and instill it into my daily life. When did you start doing this? 2013 when there weren't as many Ejuice options for people locally and I wanted to be able to provide a more affordable option for people. Which of your juices you make is your personal favorite? I personally love Vanilla Custard. I love Vanilla, but usually what I am vaping at the time is my favorite. My pallet seems to change a lot, so I like to change my flavors up a bit. Mostly dessert type flavors. Which flavor is your best seller/customer favorite? The Force, Hotel California, Fruity Toucan, Milk Maid and the current newest best seller is Lemon Scout, which is a lemon cookie. What percentage of PG and VG are your juices? The are all MAX VG, depending on the recipes they all end around 80/20. We have a couple around 70/30 and a couple around 90/10. How many locations are your juices in and what are those places? Lilac City Vapor on North Hamilton Recoil Espresso and Vapor on North Hamlton Freedom E-cig on Argonne Emperor Vapor off of Sprague and Vista 3rd Ave Grocery Downtown Spokane VΔp-it! in Post Falls, ID on Seltice Ungodly Vapes in Missoula, MT House of Vapor in Bremerton, WA. Can customers purchase your juices online, if so what is the web address? Ejuice can be found at https://www.avgjoesjuice.com/ As a small business owner and entrepreneur in the vaping industry what advice would you give to someone thinking of starting their own business? Stay the course. There are ups and downs. A lot of devotion to your business. A lot of hours and time spent at work. Reinvest back into your business before you start seeing profit. If you have a passion and vision for your business keep at it. Hard work will pay off. Seems sometimes like it isn't going to work out, but you have to keep fighting. You will prevail. What is the most important part of selling a vaping product to you? To give people a premium liquid at an affordable price while helping people find a flavor that helps them quit tobacco. Helping chose a healthier option whether that's from cigarettes or chewing tobacco. I want people to be healthy and I want to provide the best most quality product I can to help them do that. As I said before, it is truly amazing to hear people thank me for helping them quit tobacco. That our juice is what helps them stay smoke or chew free. They also have themselves to thank. :) What's your vision for your juice line in the future? We have been growing. I see us growing and expanding. I don't really think to much ahead into the future. I like to stay in the now and live each day as it comes. You canβt change the past so we cant dwell on that, so what we do today will reflect on tomorrow. One day at a time. In reality that is all we really can do. With the help and support of my wife Trisha who has been there from the beginning always supporting me and with the addition of my close friend Cam we see ourselves taking this to a place I never could have imagined. I believe in surrounding myself with people that share the same passion and who are trust worthy. Then it becomes family. No matter what the future holds I can say this has been already a dream come true. β For myself personally, I didn't know we even had local juice companies that I could be giving my business to...it seems so ridiculous now because I have vaped since 2008. So I first tried Joes juice back in June of this year and prior to that I had a lot of trouble finding an E juice that could keep me away from the occasional cigarette. Upon entering his shop he started asking me what kinds of flavors I like, and showing me a menu of his flavors. I spent 2 hours talking with him and laughing, and I purchased around 8 juices. I really had hoped I would find just one that I liked.... little did I know I would like them all. I started with his Strawberry Milk ejuice, and I had tried MANY other Strawberry Milk flavors that were very popular at the time. Nothing compared to his Strawberry Milk, nothing. It tasted like a perfect sliced ripe juicy strawberry with a light coating of sugar on it, with milk drizzled on top... like something my mother made me as a kid. Since June, Joe has released so many new flavors that he's worked on and tweaked till they were PERFECT. For this review he handed me all the flavors I had yet to try... I returned home and with a freshly built RDA and I sat down to start vaping. Flavors I thought I would never like, like Lemon Scout, blew me away...and I thought I hated lemon vapes! Now I refer to Lemon Scout as "Liquid Gold" because it sells out everywhere so fast that it is hard to get your hands on. I tried two lemonade flavors Liberty & Freedom, both a lemonade base but one with blue-raspberry and the other is a strawberry pink lemonade with a sweet nβ tart candy tone...and once again I was blown away. Vanilla Cola...we've all had some horrible flat tasting drink ejuice flavors that left us disappointed...well not Vanilla Cola, it tastes like a freshly cracked Vanilla Coca-cola it even has a fizz to it...how is that even possible!?!? Blue Razz is like those blue Jolly Rancher candies you hide in your desk at work, but an even better twist is Blue Melon, a blue raspberry watermelon vape that will knock your socks off! Every flavor surprises me! Flavors that make Vaping such a treat. For vapers who do not live in the Spokane area I would suggest going online and grabbing a bottle. All juices are MAX VG for big beautiful tasty clouds, there is surely a flavor for any vaper's palate. I have yet to try a flavor I didn't like. If you try a flavor and think it's not for you, give it a weeks steep and you'll change your mind; as they can be made fresh upon orders being placed some of the time. His juices come in 0, 3 and 6 mg nicotine strengths. He ships all over the U.S.A so everyone can experience the joy that is Avg Joes Juice! I have very few juices I like solo, I almost always mix juices together to get the flavor I want, and with Avg Joes I never have to mix. In fact, I actually use a lot of his juices to fix other companies juices. Besides being an complete and total stand up company the juices really speak for themselves. I look forward to what Average Joes will do in the future along with all the Inland NW juicers, their passion feeds mine.

Omg! I'm really happy to have learned that I can find these juices up this side of the state up in Bremerton. But that is still a couple hours drive. So, someday I also hope to see these juices sold at a shop called Cascade Vapors in Chehalis so I can grab some of his amazing juices local.
