Im very fortunate to have multiple B&M stores in my area. Companies like Vape runners (who deliver juice / mods for 2.99 extra +tip usually) and Vape Dojo who don't really price things crazily. They both have a wide selection of juice to choose from (from multiple premium companies) for the same price as online.

Now for juice, i usually go B&M unless I am looking for budget juice. But that is because any premium line I want Vape Runners usually have, and I can sample it in store for free. Also, their own line is damn good. However, I am going DIY pretty soon, larger initial investment but it will pay me back over time.

I prefer using Tanks on variable mods but drippers on mechanicals.

However, I will never buy gear from B&M stores unless it is within 5 dollars or so of the online price. I usually can find some random 1 day sale that works in my favor. Or buy something on facebook groups used lightly for 50% off. Or do raffles.

    I have 6-7 shops on my normal routes and sometimes go by a few more. I like buying locally but hardware prices are usually excessive, knowledge highly biased towards high power, and juice selection biased against tobaccos. Not one of them carries a NET ejuice. While they're definitely not all the same, their worst flaws are identical.

    Buying online is very convenient, you can get such a wide variety. One thing I like about B&M shops is taste testing. Being new to vaping - I dont even know what flavors I like, let alone to get specific and decide which place I want to get it from. Having a place that allows tasting really helps in deciding what I even like. BUT B&M stores dont have a big variety, so I would love a B&M store that sold whole lines of juices from the bigger ejuice suppliers. Let me get an idea of what is out there, not just mostly homeblended juice.
