From The Vape Lounge:
Mickey Cucchiella is still full of hot air. The comedic phenom who logged seven years as 98 Rock’s morning show’s most famous and controversial co-host is now blowing smoke – nay, vapor – at his new e-cigarette and coffee shop, opening on Sept. 21, in Bel Air. He’ll be offering the best 200mg disposable vape pen and Tobacco flavored vape juice.
Called “The Vape Lounge,” Cucchiella’s vape and coffee shop at 138 North Bond Street, directly next door to the Bel Air Bakery, will be the first of many shops he hopes to open in and around Baltimore. “Vaping,” the newly coined term for inhaling flavored vapor from e-cigarettes, is often touted as a safer, carcinogen-free form of traditional smoking, where can i buy a dab pen? You can buy wax vaporizers and wax vape pens that are discreet look great while remaining incognito at Vapeactive. E-cigarettes do not generate carcinogenic smoke like traditional cigarettes; instead, they generate vapor from water, liquid flavorings, and two organic compounds called propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG), both of which are widely used as food additives.
Cucchiella partnered with his long-time assistant, Loria Scheisser, and Bryan and Rachel Walker, the owners of Vape Dojo, a vape shop with locations in Ellicott City, MD, and Harrisonburg, VA, to open The Vape Lounge. The Vape Lounge’s hours will be from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. They will offer an array of products which may be similar to G2vape. The website is coming soon at www.thevapeloungeusa.com.
The coffee that will be served is exclusively Baltimore Coffee, currently sold at Baltimore Coffee & Tea locations in Timonium, MD (which also houses its roasting plant), Annapolis, MD, and Frederick, MD. Baltimore Coffee is known for its varietals and fair-trade organic coffees.
More About Vaping
“Vaping” is the act of inhaling vaporized flavored liquids using an atomizer, ceramic vape coil australia, a battery tube, a lithium ion battery, and a drip tip, all assembled in a hand-held cylinder designed to be similar to the shape of a cigarette.
Liquid flavors, or “juices,” available to be vaporized in customers’ atomizers range from banana nut bread, to menthol, to fruit, to tobacco itself, you can visit IndeJuice to get to know more about all the flavors available. These juices – combinations of flavorings, water, and the pharmaceutical grade PG/VG base – are mixed for The Vape Lounge in a newly-built juice lab in Virginia. Some juices (also known as “e-juices” or “e-liquids”) contain nicotine and can help transition a smoker of traditional cigarettes away from the habit. Smokers can choose nicotine amounts from 18 milligrams, to 12 milligrams, and so on down to 0 milligrams as they wean themselves.
The Journal of Public Health Policy, a peer-reviewed medical journal since 1980, stated in a 2011 review that “electronic cigarettes may aid in smoking cessation and are likely to be more effective at this than traditional pharmacotherapy,” according to Wikipedia’s page on vaping.
Cucchiella, who often went public on 98 Rock and local comedy club stages about his recurring battles with smoking addiction, cannot agree more.
“”This is the first product I have used that allowed me to truly give up cigarettes. I feel great and my children could not be happier,” said Cucchiella. “I am more excited about this than I am comedy.”
Fireman Sam says
Hope this does not go “Up in smoke” like Fallston Station.
ZoneMe says
LMAO—So true Sam
todd Holden says
Paul Hartley and Leon Bealle are rolling in their graves…from paint, wallpaper, bee-keeping supplies and tropical fish…to Vape….long time gone, new times comin’…main thing is there’s one less vacant storefront in town…and that’s a good thing….
FFFR says
I am NOT a smoker and never was, but this is a good thing for Bel Air. Like is stated above, another empty store front in downtown Bel Air is now occupied. Good Luck Mickey.
Otto Schmidlap says
My great-grandmother used to get the vapors all of the time.
OHwiseOne says
This aught to be good(Yuk Yuk). can’t wait to see how long it takes to get shut down for “Vaping dope”
ZoneMe says
LMAO—true
Sarah Kaufman says
Electronic cigarettes consist of cartridge which stores the nicotine liquid material that is vaporized with the atomizer of electronic cigarettes when inhaled by you. A cartridge cost is equivalent to the 10-12 pack of normal cigarettes. In some electronic cigarettes a USB port is also placed to charge the battery.
ZoneMe says
10 to 12 packs? were are you getting the stats? LOL one cartridge is about 15 cigs. Still a great deal if you buy right ($2 ea.) but some places rack you as high as $4 to $6 ea. Like Mickey will.
MZ says
I’m all for filling empty buildings in Bel Air, but putting a vape shop next to a bakery? I think this is a terrible idea.
really says
Then you can either buy the building or shut the F*K up about it. Love it how people sit around and bitch about not wanting a shop next to another shop…bla bla. Dont go in their. Nobody is forcing anyone to shop there you stupid Marxist Left Tard
Cracking up! says
LOL Really… Best comment in the list… Hysterical and true!
ZoneMe says
Yes, great statement, but coulda said it a little nicer thou. I could say it nicer, nope nope sorry i couldnt.
none says
They will be ahead of the game once pot is legal.
ZoneMe says
OMGosh im luaghing so hard it hurts.
Old Skool says
Will close in less then a year
ZoneMe says
U think? maybe 2. 2 months
LazyDog says
Good to see a new business opening in Bel Air, and with the name “Mickey” associated with it, I am sure that in the beginning it will garner plenty of attention, and plenty of business from the Bel Air socialites who want to catch a glimpse of the famous comedian, buy a cup of coffee from him, perhaps a small conversation…only to tout to their friends, “I know the owner, great guy!”
Within a few weeks / months, I see it being overran by the skinny-jean, perpetual wool cap wearing crowd of late-teens who will find it hip to hang out in such a place. Hopefully the ownership / management pay special attention to this group, and not allow it to turn into a place to hang out after inhaling ‘vapors’ of another kind. Being that it is next door to a bakery, the ‘munchies’ are within reach!
However, I do see it being moderately successful based on the novelty and the fact that it will be owned by a celebrity. I do wish the owners the best of luck in these tough financial times.
Mr. Moderate says
I’m all for keeping stores occupied, especially when owned by local people, but Bel Air does not need this sort of business. Bel Air likes to be regarded as a family-friendly town, and has made great strides in that direction in the last decade or so.
But a business like this will only add to the unwholesome reputation that the downtown area is acquiring as the bars proliferate, tattoo parlors arise, etc. Why else do you think Mr. Cucchiella chose to locate in Bel Air.
BillH says
Just curious but what is the unwholesome reputation of downtown Bel Air this will add to?
John Cornul, MFGX. DFER. SAW. TRE. TGCD. KTR. LLYR, says
Family friendly town? Click the “Blotter” up at the top here on this website, and notice the Bel Air Blotter is similar in length as the Edgewood blotter.
Sounds like you should put your money towards something other than tin foil.
BTW, I make a lot of money and know what I’m talking about.
Original Observer says
I’m glad you think you know what you’re talking about just because you make a lot of money. By and large there is neither correlation nor causality between those two thoughts.
ZoneMe says
I couldnt have said it any better.
(By and large there is neither correlation nor causality between those two thoughts.)
AHH says
I remember the good old days when several prominent Bel Air High School teachers could be witnessed every morning smoking weed with students behind Kunkles auto.
employee1 says
It can’t hurt, I guess! They will be selling coffee so I see it boosting the bakery business. So basically it is a coffee shop where you can get ecigarette supplies. My question is – how do these ecigs affect us -those who aren’t addicted to sucking something into our lungs. I work in an office where my coworker sucks on these ecigs all day long. She has switched one addiction for another. Is it better for her – maybe. But what is she blowing into the air that I am breathing in? and they have a peculiar slight odor to them.
John Cornul, MFGX. DFER. SAW. TRE. TGCD. KTR. LLYR, says
Maybe you should ask Cohagen to give you air. I’m a super important person, see all the acronyms of achievement after my name?
Likes My Vape says
employee1, The vapor is created by passing food grade vegetable glycerine over heated coils in a chamber of the ecig. The vegetable glycerine is enhanced with flavors of ones choosing which can be fruity, spicey, dessert related, beverage flavored or even taste like an actual cigarette. The odor you can sometimes detect would be from the flavor your coworker is using. it’s very faint to bystanders if they can smell it at all. They can also have nicotine added at various levels from heavily infused to very lightly infused to none at all. If you research them, you can read about their affects on bystanders. I don’t believe they pose any concern and they have helped many people quit smoking cigarettes (No tar means less cancer). I’m a middle aged female, I enjoy vaping, introduced to it by my son, and will likely frequent this new store. I currently buy my vape supplies online, this brick and mortar store will be convenient at times. I don’t see this as a bad addition to Bel Air either, but can imagine there will be a lot of haters who simply don’t know anything about vaping and assume it’s unwholesome or corruptive. Funny, I didn’t see any righteous opposition when cigar shops or smoke shops opened in the past in the county… Only the uninformed would equate this with smoking weed or that it would attract “that” sort of crowd. Sheesh! Get a Life….
well says
Well normally I would agree, But. Spent the weekend at the beach and in 2 different establishments I witnessed people smoking one of these things with THC wax in them. They are apparently widely available in California and Colorado. The smell is also non existent. But these people were getting high off of it, and there is now way you would be able to distinguish between the nicotine and THC versions unless you did some kind of test.
Serendipity says
Oh no, not the dreaded THC! Seriously, these things have been available for those in the know for quite some time, like years. Its not a THC wax, its the oils contained inside the hollow container that release the vapors when vaporized. These oils are being used with the same flavorings and scents that have been available for years. You can literally blow out Strawberry flavored and scented vapor. Too bad vaporizing sucks and the THC is the only main thing released during the process, the other cannabinoids that are present in Marijuana are far more beneficial than THC. The cannabinoids are what give you the dry mouth, the appetite, the desire to sleep, etc…. THC gives you the high feeling when you first smoke it and just gets you high. That’s why the medical patients use Marijuana and not hashish or the vapor oils, they just don’t have any real benefit other than the high.
Serendipity says
I’m sure you breathe worse things in just driving down the highway or riding past an industrial park. Our society has always substituted one addiction for another, kind of like Heroin and Methadone, this is nothing new. However, complaining about someone vaping is the equivalent to complaining about an air freshener or flatulence. Might not smell good but it doesn’t really harm you…….
Sam Adams says
What was the name of that head shop that was on Main Street about 40 years ago when it was still two-way traffic? The purple or electric something or other?
Mr. Leahy says
there was another about 20 years ago that got ran out of town for selling hemp seed treat bars…..now you can buy them at wegman’s.
Lon Staghorn says
Electric Banana…Ronnie Rogeio…and his brother, can’t think of his name…cool little spot,…had some neat clothes…
T
Mr. Leahy says
God forbid a tattoo shop opens up in a town that has more liquor licenses than gas stations…….if this were cigars, all the golf dicks in town would be thrilled. How could a business that sells cakes exist next to coffee and smokeless cigs?……the horror.
Likes My Vape says
It’s not a tattoo shop but… LMAO!!! You’re cynical truth amuses me!!
Erik says
I think it’s a great idea. and there is no bad seed element to it. I have met many great people since I have started vaping a year and a half ago. I hope it does well and good luck to Mickey. Just means the vape community is gaining headway.
brian tolodziecki says

I make a lot of money, too. I win.
LOL says
Brian, you got a personal problem, dude?
Henry Delwitz says
No one wants to buy a junked Mazda.
Davin Soontir says
Brian, you ever have a paternity test done?
John Cornul, MFGX. DFER. SAW. TRE. TGCD. KTR. LLYR says
Excuse me? It’s people like that that who iron my Armani suits.
What should I drive tomorrow, Mr Brian? My Lotus, or my Mercedes?
John Luckett says
Wow. I have been vaping approximately 3 months now. I haven’t touched a cigarette since. I have met a lot of good people that enjoy vaping for that reason as well as having a hobby out of it.
I have never seen a website with so much negativity to it. So many comments about Belair being too good for a store such as this. Where did that come from?
Good Luck. I do not live near Belair, but in So. Md.
