Posted on August 8, 2013 by Eric Highland

All About Vapor Austin Storefront

You’ve seen these gadgets all over Austin. They almost look like Dr. Who’s Sonic Screwdriver, only people are puffing on them and releasing a cloud of scented vapor, right? Well they’re called vaporizers (poorly referred to as e-cigarettes).

Get Your Austin Kayak on With Customer-Focused Local Business

Posted on April 29, 2013 by Eric Highland

Eric and Brittany Highland at Austin Kayak's Demo Days

Some of the best memories I’ve made in my lifetime have been on the water. Though I’ve spent many years out on the open ocean, I’ve arguably enjoyed my time on lakes and rivers just as much, if not more. Thinking back on my childhood, there are few memories that compare with catching my first […]
