Vapes stores run the gamut. Some of them inherited their style from the classic head shop, which was basically as tacky as possible. The head shop scene has evolved from places selling pipes, bongs, rock posters, incense, psychadelia, sometimes porn and knives to include a type of store called a glass gallery, with higher end merchandise and a much more modern and classy sense of style. Some vape stores are actually quite nice, like one I went to in Eugene which had lounge chairs, tasting bar and was decorated like a fairly nice coffee shop. One that I go to here in Denver isn't as nice, but has a reasonably classy atmosphere compared to the type of store you describe. It likely depends on the area.
My experience with counterfeits was at average liquor stores though, not actual vape shops. 7-11 and other convenience stores also sell these disposable vape pens and from what I've gathered, most of the disposables are fraudulent. Supposedly dedicated vape stores are better about selling legitimate items, though I imagine it varies.
