Karma, The Wolf of Wall Street and the tale of Midnight Vape
Smoke Life is the show about why people smoke, what they smoke, and how they made businesses around it. With their rise in popularity, products such as alternate vape are paving the way for this lucrative industry to grow further. We are even starting to see the rise of dab pens which are very similar to vapes, but contain wax carts and allow you to smoke cannabis extracts on the go, and considering the growth of the vaping industry as well as the medical and recreational cannabis industry in recent years, it won’t be long until vaping and cannabis companies are coming together and supplying thousands, if not millions of THC or CBD vape cartridges to the masses, it’s lucky the industries anticipated this growth and have equipment such as this semi-automatic vape cartridge filler machine so they can produce and sell their cartridges wholesale. In this episode Michael interviews RJ Querubin about his late, great hookah lounge and his experience throughout the years of being the owner. RJ was a hookah lounge owner, and now continues to be a financial advisor. He talks about the first days of the lounge, his best and worst memories that live in infamy, and what he sees himself doing now that the lounge is over.
It’s great to see someone making such good progress with life and really making a difference. I admire his drive to progress and develop what it is he does. After the interview, I must say, half of me is tempted to go out and try some different vape juices from a shop similar to VapeWild ejuice, as he had some unreal tasting and smelling vape juice in his vape. Maybe I’ll go after this, but I definitely will go when I get a chance, haha!
