Im in South St. Paul.  My local 
tobacco shop carries some OK liquid, but overcharges.  I haven't been to any shops in town, I think there are at least two though.  There is a kiosk in the Roseville mall that carries a good locally made 
eliquid.  Called smokeless smoking.  Their 503 Blend 4 is a really tasty RY4.  Their prices for liquid are not too bad.  Carry the lavatube there, and eGos, and minis.  Didn't buy any hardware from them.
I don't get out a whole lot, but definitely do not see other vapers anywhere I go.  I swear Im the only person in South St. Paul.  All of my bars know me and don't have a problem with me 
vaping there which is nice.
I use mostly Volt gear these days, though I do have a few old eGos tht I just bought a Vivi Nova for.
