Vapor Unlimited E-Cigarettes Also Now Available At Cash For Gold

By Kelly Miller

As millions of Americans know too well, smoking is an extremely difficult addiction to kick. There are plenty of useful products on the market to help smokers quit, like Nicorette gum, nicotine patches and even hypnosis.

Trevor Campbell, the owner of Vapor Unlimited E-Cigarettes off S.R. 54 at Morris Bridge Rd./Eiland Blvd. in eastern Wesley Chapel, says that he tried everything to overcome his two-pack-a-day habit, but nothing worked until he tried electronic cigarettes (also known as e-cigarettes or e-cigs). He says that he was so amazed by the product that four months ago, he decided to sell them at his still-ongoing business, Cash for Gold of Wesley Chapel.

Campbell says e-cigarettes, “provide the sensation that I was accustomed to from smoking for many years.” For many, one of the hardest part of kicking the smoking habit has to do with keeping their hands busy. In other words, quitting is difficult because of the psychological element involved with the feel of holding a cigarette. Campbell says that’s how e-cigarettes can help overcome a nicotine addiction: as a smoker, you’d still have something to hold and puff, but can reduce or even eliminate the amount of nicotine you take in.

Gradually Reduce Your Nicotine Intake With ECigs

The first generation of electronic cigarettes looked and felt just like real cigarettes. Many of the popular second generation of products on the market now have a sleeker, metallic look. When a person takes a drag off of an e-cig, the interior coil heats up and vaporizes a liquid solution known as e-liquid, which contains nicotine. The person inhales and exhales the vapor, which is referred to as “vaping” instead of “smoking.”

Campbell owns the Zephyrhills lab where he makes each of the “Fog Works” flavors for his store, as well as selling them as a wholesaler, nationwide. Flavors are added to e-liquids to give users a different experience each time. There are 95 flavors of “Fog Works,” Vapor Unlimited’s signature, house-made, premium e-liquid. To help pick a favorite, there’s a sample bar inside the store so customers over the age of 18 can try flavors like classic menthol, double chocolate, grape pucker and many more.

Campbell says that since he owns his own brand of e-liquids, he can ensure the highest quality products for his customers. He says that each e-liquid he sells exceeds U.S. Pharmacopeia Standards, and that he’s proud that his products are made in the U.S. Many e-liquids on the market today are made with a mixture of chemicals like propylene glycol and glycerin, but Campbell’s e-liquids are non-synthetic, made up of either a “70/30” VG/PG mixture (70 percent vegetable oil and 30 percent palm oil) or “80/20” VG/PG mixture.

When picking out the e-liquid for e-cigarettes, users can chose between 24 mg, 18 mg, 12, mg, 6 mg, or even 0 mg of nicotine. Campbell suggests that when people are trying to quit smoking traditional cigarettes, they usually start with a higher dose of nicotine and then reduce the amount of nicotine to zero over time. Campbell says, “Six months ago I started at the highest level of nicotine and now I’m at zero. I’m no longer a slave to nicotine.”

“I think smoking e-cigs is a much healthier option than smoking regular cigarettes,” Campbell says. “And, they’re a lot cheaper than a pack of smokes.” In addition, e-cigs don’t annoy the lungs or eyes of people around you like traditional cigarettes do.

San Antonio resident Patrick Caudill says he comes to Vapor Unlimited because, “you can’t beat the prices. I got my starter pack here for only $50, but they retail everywhere else for $80. And, I love their juices (e-liquids). They have every flavor you’d ever want.”

Campbell also has two other locations to shop for Vapor Unlimited products, including a location on Gall Blvd. in Zephyrhills and on Land O’Lakes Blvd. near S.R. 54 in Land O’ Lakes. All stores offer a 10-percent discount for active-duty members of the U.S. military, as well as for military veterans, fire fighters and police. Customers who bring in any e-liquid bottle (empty or full of Campbell’s brand or even a competitor’s brand) will receive $1 off a full, new 30 ml e-liquid bottle.

Cash For Your Gold, Too!

While Vapor Unlimited customers are in the store, they also can trade their old or broken jewelry in for cash. Campbell opened his Cash for Gold of Wesley Chapel business in 2010.

He proudly serves our area, always keeping in mind his motto of “honesty, integrity, and reliability.” Campbell gained his experience in the gold and jewelry industry by purchasing items at garage sales and reselling them for a profit. He also trained under Keith Leclerc of the International Diamond Center in Clearwater, learning to identify the “Five Cs”: Clarity, Cut, Color, Carat and Certification.

The scales and balances he and his staff use in the shop to determine the accurate weight of the gold and silver bought and sold are licensed and calibrated every year through the Department of Weights and Measures of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Campbell has his license to purchase gold in the state of Florida through the Florida Department of Revenue. He also maintains a Certificate of Regulation for Secondhand Dealers or Secondary Metals Recyclers in Pasco County, also through the Florida Department of Agriculture.

The store accepts gold, silver and diamonds, dental “grills,” domestic and foreign coins, antique swords and daggers, flatware, any autographed memorabilia and more.

Campbell told a story about a customer who came into the store with a competitor’s quote of $700 for a single piece of jewelry. When Cash for Gold inspected it, the piece was assessed at — and the customer left with — $1,700!

“We will pay you the highest price possible,” Campbell explains. “We guarantee it.”

Campbell knows that if he treats his customers fairly, they’ll continue to come back. And, anyone who refers a customer will receive 10 percent of what Cash for Gold paid that customer for their trade.

It’s important to Campbell to give back to the community that has taken such good care of him. This year, he says he’s already donated more than $15,000 to local not-for-profit organizations, including Metropolitan Ministries and the Sunrise of Pasco County, Inc. Domestic Violence & Sexual Abuse Center. The money he’s donated to Metropolitan Ministries has helped to fund the organization’s annual pre-made turkey dinner meal drive that is held at Atonement Lutheran Church on S.R. 54 in Wesley Chapel. He also is a member of the Wesley Chapel Rotary Club, which meets Wednesdays at noon at Ciao! Italian Bistro in the Shops at Wiregrass mall..

“Community outreach is number one to me and my Cash for Gold businesses are what makes it possible for me to give,” he says.
