Preferences in where you buy your liquid

[III%er]

I may be lucky in that Tempe, AZ has plenty of college aged kids, and in turn smokers. Smokers, especially colleged aged, seem to be gravitating towards e-cigs more. So we have a decent selection of e-liquid vendors in the area and even more around the valley. I've notice the main brands are everywhere and the shops push their own brand alongside the big names. This makes me think people looking for out of the norm quality products would head online. So the question...

IF you're lucky enough to have a shop in range, do you prefer to buy at a physical store or online?

Online - better prices for the same stuff and, no sales tax (except from 2 vendors that are in my state.)

online much better juice variety price no tax and it takes 5 min

I can read reviews on this forum to get a feel for what I want

all the juice I got local has not been as good as I got online not by a mile

Store with juice bar is always a winner.

Nothing better than trying before you buy, even if it is 20% more than online.

I prefer online if I can't get to the store (which is about 40 miles away from me). Even if I do buy online, I buy from reputable places (or highly recommended at least).

I feel the same way. while the local places have good customer service and juice bars, I'm finding online to be simpler in regards to liquid.

Online is the way to go where I live. We do have a vape store here, but their selection of juices is fairly limited and about 25% more expensive than where I buy online.

Located in North Louisiana with twin cities population of 80k+ I think we only have 2 vape shops. One is okay and is very helpful and the other is a JOKE!

I buy all my supplies online.

I like the try and buy method from in town guy so far. Hard to say if the same flavor is the same between vendors. I am still weary about buying from the guy setting up shop in a tent at the farmers market....prices better then a shop style place. Anyone get bad juice....

I like to stop in to the store down the street with the juice bar so I can test it a bit. They only have 20 or so favors but are growing. In Boise a town of 250k max there are probably 20 vape shops and more opening up every day! I've found that some places online are cheaper though so I order online too.

No juice store locally but if there was I'd still by concentrates online... (overseas prices and selection is a winner for me)...
& forums contain enough information to help me decide on flavour's..

I strongly prefer buying juice in store. But then again, I'm pretty lucky to have 7 stores to choose from in a 3 mile radius of my house. One of them carries almost every major brand out there. Chances are if I can find the juice listed online, I'll be able to find it in a local B&M.

A juice bar is also a major plus. Being able to go in and test flavors ahead of time is pretty awesome.

Also certain juices get spread by word of mouth in my area. A friend of a friend will have a juice that he lets me drip, and he'll most likely have gotten it from a B&M where I can get it the next day.

Then again, this is all only beneficial if you have stores around you.

Online. I work a lot and when the day is done, I want downtime. I do buy from local vendors - through their online storefronts. Finally, there are some great juice houses that are only available online.

I only have one place by my house where you can test the juice before you buy. The rest are all....take a chance They are not cheap, so I purchase online....much cheaper and I have found several that I really like.

I've got a shop about 5 minutes away, legendvapor.com, and they have over 200 flavors. I'm fairly new to vaping, so it has been nice living so close to a shop. Since I first started a few months ago with V2 cigs, as soon as I found this local shop, I've bought 100% of my hardware locally - I don't care if it costs a few dollars more. Even when I needed parts and he was out of stock, I waited until he had them in stock; I did not go straight to the internet. Buying locally is important. On the other hand, many of the internet businesses are mom & pop type stores, too, and recently I placed some juice orders online from reputable sources. Perhaps my thoughts will change as time goes by, but I still believe in buying locally and/or supporting the mom & pop stores whenever possible.

I prefer online. Local B&Ms around here charge an average of $6.95 for a 10 ml bottle of Dekang (my favorite). I can get a 50ml bottle of the same stuff HERE for $10.95...yes you read it right...$10.95!!! Don't buy much locally.

NOw that is a DEAL there...Might not be Classy flavors but just to have 50Mils laying around for 12 bucks...

Hey if you're in AZ try J-Vapes. They are located in Prescott and have some pretty solid juice. I'm a big fan of Cinnaroll, Fire & Ice and No Worries. Real cool people and a great product.

Just a Little Shout Out to My local Timelessvapor.com Has Some Really tasty Juice at Very fair prices...Great Customer Care. Alsoo the Banner Below has good stuff and are quite nice in the Hardware department...

I buy online as there isn't any places locally. Sucks but what can you do when you live in the middle of nowhere Kansas. Lol.
