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.
