I Agree emoney, I think it would be a great way to expand the product into a new market, and it gives the customer the feeling that they are talking to someone who really knows and cares about the products rather than the minimum wage derp behind the counter at a walmart or walgreens. One of the biggest benefits to this model is giving the customer the ability to explore the blending of different flavours to find their favorite rather than having to buy a bunch of different flavours and do it on their own.
More of a vape shop feel, because that's exactly what it is, except its for one brand only. On that note, the one brand bias might be the biggest drawback when compared to your typical vape shop who sells many different products.
The big box stores only work once you have a huge customer base who knows exactly what they want everytime, and are more interested in larger quantity for lower average price. When people are still testing the waters of the product, a hands on approach is definitely of benefit.
