I doubt any "brick and mortar" store can afford to have the prices available on the Internet. I live in the Winchester area, and would love to support a local business, but I don't see how they can compete with the overhead they have. In this area there are more than a few great vendors that have awesome customer service, great prices and I regularly get overnight delivery and no Va sales tax. I have only seen one local vender at a kiosk in a mall, I spoke with him for a while and he seemed to be in a business he really didn't understand. I'm pretty new at this myself and it was like talking politics with a 12 year old.

Wow! I never knew there were this many people who vape in Virginia either! I've never met anyone yet who even knew what an e-cig is. Good to know there are people at least in the state who vapes too! *Waves*

I'd shop at a local shop more than I would order online probably. Mainly because it is convenient and I would know that if I was ever in a bind I'd have some place to go and buy anything I need instead of waiting at least a day to get anything. (I usually have to wait 3 or 4 because of where I order online.)

I hear the kiosks have made it to the local malls... but nah, nowhere reputable. I live in the boonies in NoVA though. You might have some luck at truckstops, though, heh. And if you're ever up thisaway I have a heckuva juice stash. ;)

It's funny, I would think that NoVa would have a few places. You can find just about everything else up there. I am relieved to hear that there are "boonies" ...don't know the area well but got trapped on 495 a few weeks ago in a deadlock... I swore never again but for a juice goldmine I might have to rethink that! :)

P.S. your turkey infuser/pencil grip - is the absolute best!

That's what prompted me to ask... the longer it has been since I quit analogs the more terrified I am of being caught in a bind. lol. looks like I am going to be starting my own mega stash but I would really love to shop locally - even if they were internet orders it seems to me they would get to me faster and as for the store front .... how fun would that be to walk into a store and pick out juices!!

I've hit the shops in the H'Burg area with no luck.. One shop had some weird "GoGreen" ecig setup that was $99 and he had filled carts for like $5 each.. no bottles of liquids though.. I asked about spare parts for the ecig he did sell, and he looked at me like I had 2 heads and wondered why someone would need spare parts.. I left the shop :)

The boonies aren't that far from no. va. I live 40 minutes from Leesburg and it's diffrent world.:) I was born and grew up in Arlington.
I am all about stocking up. There is a site called blue mist vaping (I think he is in south Penn.) He sells 100mg 120ml nic juice for $60, I have 2 frozen, just in case the politicians decide to outlaw this stuff cause they aren't profiting directly from it.

I love vaping in the bar at Buffalo Wild Wings, I have given out hundreds of business cards from Altsmoke to people who ask about it, they usually comment on how good it smells, thanks to Tasty Vapor. :)

Katra Gala is on Main Street at the intersection of Davis. In the Fan.

KG doesn't have any stock yet, but I've talked with the owner twice in the last week and he seems to be gearing up. He might have just been blowing vapor. (In case you don't know, KG is a head shop.)

The NoSmokeVA guy give me a bad vibe. He either knows nothing about e-cigs aside from the smoking everywhere materials he got, or he purposely ignores you if you ask about 510's, extra attys, juice... I went in once before I made the switch, and the guy was very nice. Let me try stuff, etc... However, it was expensive, etc...

After I got my 510, I stopped by to get some juice and see if he had updated his stock. As soon as I showed it to him, I got the cold shoulder. He wouldn't answer a basic question like "Do you guys have juice for refilling?" He just puttered around his "shop" and ignored me.

This place is three blocks from my office. I WANTED to like this place. However, I was really put off by the guy's attitude.

Anyway, maybe I caught him on a bad day the second time, but I haven't been back.

I actually bought a kit from him (nosmokeva) back when I started and he was real nice to me. I don't think it's a smoking everywhere kit either... which he did have there, but not for sale. The atty died the next day and he replaced it. Also my boss bought one and his atty also died and the guy replaced it, no questions asked. Atty's are still going strong now, but I seldom use them since moving on to other atty's and batt mods. I just don't like the juice. It's all VG and when I asked him where he was getting his supplies, I got some mumble jumble... The juice has no flavor other then sweet VG taste. I know it's got nic in it though.

Is this Katra Gala in Richmond? Edit: NM, I found it. Let us know when they start carrying products, what they are, and how you like them...
