Just one-minute walk away from two private schools in Quezon City is a vape shop at the entrance of a basement parking lot in a five-storey commercial building. It may seem inconspicuous but the shop's signage on the facade is hard to miss.

The building has several tenants, including a milk tea shop on the first floor. Before the pandemic, students in nearby schools spent time studying, accessing the internet, and meeting with friends there. It also has a dental clinic, a spa, and residential spaces on the higher floors.
