One of the shop’s most popular fl avors is called “Cereal Killa.”

“We can’t produce enough of it,” Hobler said.At Gorilla Vapes (with locations in Lacey and

Beach Haven), the object is to end nicotine addic-tion, and to get people away from combustible cigarettes. The motto is “Stop smoking, start vap-ing,” with the primary focus on helping smokers to get on the path toward giving up cigarettes entirely.

Jurczyk used the product in March 2013 to quit smoking and “thought it was amazing.” At fi rst he used it as a supplement to cigarettes, and gradually he overcame the psychological attach-ment to cigarettes in favor of the e-cigs.

Four months later, he attended his fi rst trade show at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and the following month he opened a kiosk in the Ocean County Mall. Now he and his two busi-ness partners have eight retail locations, including three stores (Brick, Lacey and East Brunswick, which is the central lab and distribution center) and fi ve kiosks (four in malls, Ocean County, Monmouth,Woodbridge and Staten Island, and one in Beach Haven, which will be open weekends through Chowderfest), with a staff of 18.

Jurczyk said he and his staff recommend customers start with the 16-milligram juice and then step down the nicotine content with each subsequent bottle. The whole idea is “let’s fi nd a product that works for you,” he said.

As for luring young people or enticing non-addicts to get hooked, nothing could be further from the truth, he said. “We tell everybody: Should you be putting anything in your lungs, besides oxygen?” The answer is no, but “this is just a safer alternative” and, for some, an intermedary step to complete freedom from nicotine dependency.

Gorilla customers form a support network, celebrate each other’s quit dates and motivate each other, Jurczyk said. They can choose from about 200 fl avors to make quitting smoking tastier.

Jurczyk has been a vocal proponent of the e-cig industry and has spoken before subcommittees in Trenton against proposed taxation that could result in a “retail nightmare” that could send users straight to the Internet to buy them out-of-state, untaxed. He stands behind efforts to ban online sales. In the Legislature, he said, the real focus is keeping it out of kids’ hands, he said.

Christen McCafferty of Spring Lake Heights with a time of 19:31.

Some other top local male fi nishers were Brian Stanziano, 32, of Barnegat, in 18:54; and Nick Kovaly, 14, also of Barnegat, 19:04.

Other women who placed well were Jen Delaney, 35, Manahawkin, 20:41; Alyson Watts, 37, Barnegat, 20:49; and Taylor Mulch, 14, Ma-nahawkin, 20:58.

After crossing the line, many of the runners got relief by standing under the cooling mist provided by the department’s hook and ladder truck.

“It’s a fl at course and there was a very light wind, so it wasn’t too diffi cult,” said Bill Bajohr.

Cheering the brothers on was their father, Bill Sr.

“This is a very well-organized event,” he said. “It’s nice for the kids to run and also help support fi refi ghters.”

Sarno, 46, said he has been running competi-tively for 30 years.

“It was starting to feel a little humid,” he said. “It’s nice to run early in the morning when it’s not going to be very hot.”

McCafferty added, “I do a lot of these events, and this is very scenic. I know when you’re run-ning near the bay it can get pretty windy, but there was a very light breeze that made running a little easier.”

Fire company President Gary Brown covered the course in 25:06.

“I do it for fun because I know I’m not going to be near the winners,” he said. “It was a lot like our fi rst run last year, since we had nice weather and a good turnout. It’s a nice mix of competitive and more-casual runners. What’s most important is that people have fun and enjoy the nice view from the dock in Barnegat.” — Eric Englund
