I use a lot of sites for hardware like MVS, or ECig City, Element Vape etc...

I used Vape Wild and MVS when I did as buying commercial juice but I think the place u mention has far better prices.

I buy ALL my gear online. I’ve never even been in a vape shop and yes it’s very convenient!

I love how convenient it is to buy all your vaping supplies online. I havent stepped in a store to buy my vap supplies well.... not keeping count. Im just getting a feel for what all I can find and what site has the lowest prices. So far I find ejuices.com is my favorite. Where does everyone else shop at.
I do 100% of my vape shopping online. If I had a good store I would also patronize it but likely would buy the bulk online.

I have a vape shop within walking distance of my apartment. They were such jerks to me and it really turned me off so I started buying online and never looked back. Their rudeness ultimately helped to save me lots of $'s.

Welcome and glad you joined.
Like you, I purchase using on line information. For general purchase questions, might want to try the ECF search function in upper right hand corner of this post. Could type in :
"lowest cost e liquid" or whatever.

But as with everyone im trying to always find ways to save money.

IMO, 2 of the very best ways to save the most money when vaping are: 1) learn how to make your own eliquids, and 2) learn how to use RBA's (rebuildable atomizers) so you can cut the cost of coils down to literally pennies per month. You'll save a bunch of $$ doing both of those things. It'll free up a lot of your $$ then for buying more mods, batteries, and other gear.

Everything needed for making your own eliquids is available at a variety of vendors online. Same thing with buying RBA's, wire to make your coils, wicking material for the coils (most use cotton or rayon), tools to use, etc....all of those are readily available online, too.

I shop local vape stores. One, it keeps money in the local economy, two, vape stores do way more than online sites to keep vaping from underaged minors. I dont mind paying a few dollars more for my supplies for these reasons. The only thing i order online is DIY supplies because vape stores dont sell this stuff.

Hi Anna - Buy Best ---- GearBest?

Nope, there is actually a site called Buy Best. I hate Gearbest, but like Buy best I like pretty much a lot. Fast-ish shipping and reasonable prices especially if they happen to have what you want oa flash sale.

I don't care for Gear best.

I'm with this guy.

:matrix: plus being a cash & carry person prevents online theft.

Most of my mods are so old the company is either out of business or changed hands.
Rock Bottom Vapes, out of Florida, is in-country and has comaprable pricing to GearBest, FastTech, etc.
And I don't have to wait a month to get it.
I make much of my own e-liquid. I will occasionally buy from Heather's Heavenly Vapes, but that's because I love the flavors. Pay a little more, but why buy something I only marginally enjoy ?

Please put a link to your "buy best". Nothing turns up for me in a google search.

I buy nic and glass storage bottles from myfreedomsmokes . Then, almost all other hardware from fasttech because their prices are competetive or better and their selection of small parts and accessories is unmatched. Fasttech means a longer wait. That doesn't matter to me because I have everything needed to vape for years and I'm patient. If you need it fast pay more and buy closer to home.

Have had some good experiences with US vape stores recently. It is nice to not wait for shipping.

It is less nice to pay for shipping more than once, which quite often happens, even if pricing may be comparable. When it comes to having everything I want, FT is the way to go and shipping is free. Yeah, you pay for it in "wait time" but you don't get "however much" tacked on because you can't meet your "Free shipping" quota at that particular place, because they don't carry everything you want.

I don't mind paying a little more for something to support US vendors, but I do mind paying 8 bucks for shipping at 3 different places because not a single one of them has everything I want, so there is that. If free shipping was more of a thing for more vendors in the US they would get more of my business. Just saying. Also, I do think some sites charge more for shipping than they necessarily HAVE to I would like the cheap, budget option if I MUST pay and then, that could pretty much BE like free shipping. Etc.

One issue with recommending vendors is knowing your location. Some US vendors won't ship overseas, and wherever you are might have customs issues to deal with. We have members worldwide here and countries have differing laws. Saying where you're from is really helpful in useful recommendations.

For US equipment when I don't want to wait, I like MyFreedomSmokes. Great customer service.
Lowest price from China - Fasttech almost all the time, but also 3F.
Nic, VG, flavors- I've used Wizard Labs & Bull City. But now I use Nic River. I like their nic the best, and they carry my favorite NET flavoring for diy.

Good to know about RockBottom, @PapawBrett - always good to have US options!

Local vape shops- I wish! I keep trying, and have tried at least half dozen near my home & office, and none of them have anything I want. No real mtl options, no diy stuff, and limited choices of overpriced pods lately. And some of the staff was woefully uninformed. One I tried didn't even know the term mtl, and another had no idea what internal battery meant.
