Not surprisingly it seems I have the most shops near me. NY has by far the highest smoke taxes in the US, name brands at 10-14 a pack, so it stands to reason we have alot of vape shops.

I live in a little podunk town and we have one. Its about a 3 minute walk. Its in a real crappy part of town so I try to avoid it but I like the guy who runs it. Product is outdated and over priced but its close. In fact in a minute I'm gonna walk over and bring him coffee.

Counting the larger towns 20 miles both East and West that we have to go into for shopping I'd guess 50?? They pop up like crazy lately so it could be a hundred for all I know. Most of them don't sell the latest and all have a 700-900% markup. Juice is the money maker for the and I make my own. But I generally stop in. Most are run by people who possibly have done more then vape.

At my fingertips, online. Delivered directly to my door. Cuts out the middleman and the resources used to heat and cool another building that I ultimately pay for in markups. Better for the environment, better for me :). Happy to shop locally to support farms and industries in my area, but for stuff that all comes from china anyway? No point for a stop on a shelf down the street.

Is It Greener To Order Online OR Drive To The Store?

Nearest vape shop to my house according to Google Maps is 3.3 miles. There are two vape shops at that same intersection. There is a third vape shop that is 4.6 miles away from my house.

Going beyond that there are at least 20 vape shops within a half hour drive from my house. Probably more like 30, there is a large area to the south east that I haven't driven through in the past several years. I drive past 8 shops every day on my 20 mile drive to work.

Within fifteen miles there are two different stores, both of which also run kiosks in the local mall. Overpriced cloud chasers, but I liked being able to bring in my malfunctioning mods and getting a replacement or exchange on the spot. Another one apparently just opened about half as far away, maybe six miles, but I haven't had a chance to stop in yet.
